crazy to leave Hummels (has been immense last 3 or 4 months plus in pressure situations, plus his experience and leadership off the pitch) and Adeyemi (rocket pace sub to cause havoc late) out

I think England and France are only possible winners. Finally coming home?

So nobody from Chelsea's French players going on EURO. I still expect to see Gusto, Badiashile and Ugo on Olympics.

That is good news. Rest for Gusto Reece Nkunku Disasi Badiashile Ugo

No CFC player seems central to international team plans other than Mudryk. Cucurella is one of the starters but he’s also sharing game time with Grimaldo.

I'm glad Chilwell, James and Colwill can rest.

Very uninspiring attack. No chance to do it again.

Whole squad is super weak..  Fagioli.. Jesus Christ.. Lower-mediocre at best, only played once for Italy and returned for one game after his 9 month ban, still made it.

Surprised Udogie is not selected, or Gnonto, instead of El Shaarawy, who I never understood how can be a pro footballer.

Udogie is injured. And they have tough group with Spain and Croatia so hard to see them doing much.

They weren't exactly blessed three years ago.

He's the surprise omission. I understand he was playing at a lower level, but that hasn't stopped managers in the past (Ogbonna was a relative unknown in 2012), and he would have been a wild card later on in games.

I have good feeling about Portugal. Manager may be a problem as he fucked Belgium golden generation. 

As long as he stays away from Ronaldo and 50yo Pepe they have a chance. Dias-Silva should be pairing.

Official England squad

Edited June 6 by KEVINAA

Imbalanced, top heavy squad. Watch Fraudgate play back 5 with that. CB and gk options are terrible. An injury to Stones or Rice and that team is fked. Just one left back . Also who tf is Adam Wharton. Pickford, guehi, konsa, dunk, Gomez have no business playing at int level but do bc of lack of options.
England are hailed as top favourites due to having by far the most valuable squad but it is the defence that wins cups.
The attacking force is exquisite tho. Never before have there been five(!) players valued over 100m in one team. No other country has more than 2.

Tomori should have chosen to represent Canada at this point. I have no idea how Toney was picked based on the season that has just gone by. Is he going to play the DCL role from three years ago and make an appearance should England inevitably end up in a shootout?
