So the England team provisional squad has just been announced by Roy Hodgson:
Goalkeepers: Hart, Forster, Heaton
Defenders: Bertrand, Clyne, Cahill, Rose, Smalling, Stones, Walker
Midfielders: Alli, Barkley, Dier, Delph, Drinkwater, Henderson, Lallana, Milner, Sterling, Townsend, Wilshere
Strikers: Kane, Rashford, Rooney, Sturridge, Vardy
We've
got a bit of youth in the team this year (Man Utd's 18-year-old Marcus
Rashford) and familiar faces such as Wilshere, Rooney and the like, so I
don't have too many complaints on that front. We play our first game
against one of the tougher opponents in our group, Russia, on June 11th
in Marseille. We take on Wales and Slovakia after this game so will be hoping for a good start. We're currently Even Money to win the match, with Russia
at 3-1 and the draw 2-1 with most bookmakers.
England are
9-1 to win the entire tournamnent, with France and Germany both 7/2
joint favourites at present. Considering the start of Euro2016 is only
two weeks away, it's amazing how little publicity it's received so far. The same goes for the upcoming Olympic Games.
