Ill bet for Germany and Spain.

England out why?They do not have good strikers.
Rooney is good but he is not a goal scorer and he is bad in air.
You see the England squads and would agree with me.

^^i agreee...
but i feel walcott and lennon are not given enough oppurtunitites to prove themselves..

england's midfield is the best in Europe..but it harly clicks..

beckham,lampard,gerrard,joe cole

defense-terry,cole also pack a punch..

But they need potent strikers...

France is not much without Zidane though..Ribery is too inconsistent..

yes some say walcott is not that good and not Wenger choice but i feel this is not the time to comment negative on Walcott as he is/was having no chance in the club.

who is the most consistent players?i need to think.

Benzema is the man to watched.He would be my choice to pair with Henry.

I rooted for them during the World Cup too, they have one of the best line ups on paper but they hardly matter when they have to.

Even Trezeguet is not included for France. Flamini just made it due to Patrick Vieira's injury. Their manager is playing a dangerous game, leaving out so many players .

hey i was thinking of starting this thread... but decide against it becuz of the football channel thread..

anyway i'll be supporting Netherlands, Portugal & maybe France..

@arsenal_gunners
RVP for golden boot !! u must be jokin he will be injured half the time
i want the dutch to win... but RVP for golden boot is a dream..

u do have a case for arsenal defenders not being in the squad... but france does have equally good defenders in the team..& the team can only have a certain no. of defs.

The coach seems to go for experience rather than youth...

Trezeguet, Henry and Anelka are of the same age (29-31 sumthing) group. While both Anelka and Henry have had less than outstanding seasons, TrezaGOL has been banging them in for fun in the Serie-A. Still, the other two make it and he doesn't. As for youth, Ben Arfa, Sagna, Flamini were all culled from the squad, while Thuram wasn't, despite being almost twice their age. Raymond Domenech has a certain ill-feeling against some players and he's not afraid to show it. :mad:

Flammini had a good season for Arsenal..Henry well..but henry is like a sachin tendulkar in France..you cant chuck him out just like that...someone had to pay..Trezeguet seemed to be the option..more so because he hadn't played in the 2006 world cup..they more or less retained their squad of the world cup finals...

Now that Vieira is injured, Flamini IS in the squad. But he should have been there from the start. I was thinking of posting the entire squads for each nation, but it'll stretch the page to a great length :(
