    No chance, if they had a good striker they might have done ok as their defence is decent and they have quite a good midfied but their forwards are utter garbage. They'll be lucky to score 3 goals never mind win the tournament.

    Bitterness incoming.


    Anyways, I think they've the best chance out of all the home nations to get to the semi-finals at least. Think sides like France, Spain and Germany will have too much for them though. They're well organised and have an absolute superstar in Bale. They'll get out of their group and I can see them doing well against most other teams if they stay solid defensively and Bale performs.

    Quite a big ask to get out their Group, despite it being quite a weak Group it will be hard for any of the teams in it to beat each other I think. Not a lot between Russia, Wales and Slovakia and England aren't very good either.

    Wouldn't suprise me if England only won 1 game in the Group and all the other teams drew with each other.

    Like I say, I hope you are right. Wales are currently 5-1 for that game.

    I think they'll all be tight games, but I still think someone like Bale can make a difference in at least a couple of those games.

    Aye Bale is capable of winning any game. If the team is well-organised and Bale is flying, they've got a chance.

    Bale is a machine. A week off and a wee run out against Sweden and he'll be fine.

    Give it to Bale and they could. Give it to Hal Robson-Kanu and they probably won't.

    I think they are quite strong. Have a fairly balanced team.
    Hennesey is a decent keeper, in defence they have Ashley Wiliiams who I think is good and some other decent EPL defenders in Collins, Ben Davies and Neil Taylor. Their midfield is as good as England, with Ramsey, Allen, King and Ledley. Up front they of course have Bale and he alone is good enough to singlehandedly win a match.

    As I said before, England is well unbalanced. Roy's insistence on playing Rooney is a major mistake. He is no longer England best striker so he cannot get a game up front so he is played in midfield where he is utterly useless.

    All about the collective
    Slovakia will beat them at their own game , sneak the win
    Russia is where they'll have to pick up points
    Feeling England will scrap the win against them
