I Doubt that Grealish is fully fit , he's training with his thigh heavily strapped , he sat out a training session last week and the last friendly he played he was subbed and had an ice pack on his thigh . I think the best for him is to have him on the bench , only bring him on if we have to , then hope he's in better shape for the knock out round .

Bob8 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Denmark looking better that Russia, but not that threatening.

Assuming Belgium beath Finland and Denmark beat Russia (two requirements), then there would be three teams on three points. That is looking good so far, with Russia and Denmark both on three points, the Russians are out and the Danes are second (both Won 1, Lost 2) "You clearly have never met Bob8 then, he's like a veritable Bryan Ferry of RL." - Johnoco 19 Jul 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 England MUST NOT WIN tonight. A draw will be perfect to avoid the big guns in last 16. I might watch the Scotland game, haven't decided yet, that has really something riding on it. ITV for England, ITV4 for Scotland game, STV for Scottish presentation and commentary of their game, but ITV2 also have England game, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I disagree I think England must win tonight . Firstly winning is what it’s all about , maybe build a bit of momentum to . I wouldn’t want to stutter into the knockouts with 1 average win . You’ve got to go to win and even win well . Secondly we get to stay at Wembley for another game with a bigger crowd which is a big thing . Neither Germany or Portugal are teams they’ve been in the past . Thirdly we will play France in the QF anyway if we come second , we want to avoid them if we can . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming France win the group and that's no gimme. I expect Germany to beat Hungary, but France/Portugal could go either way, France may end up third. I'm thinking a draw though putting France second and heading England's way if we win the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of ifs and buts and maybes there . Best just clear your mind of all that and go and win eh . Staying at Wembley , with home comforts and our fans , avoiding the disruption of packing off to Rome with everything involved in that now , must be number one IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If we come first, we play one of Germany, France, Portugal or Hungary in London. Win that and it's probably Spain in Rome. If we come second, we play probably one of Slovakia, Sweden or Poland, in Copenhagen. Win that, and it's off to St. Petersburg to play probably France or Germany. Semi-finals and final are all at Wembley, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
