Ketsbaia

Atletico vs Fulham was one of the most boring European finals I've ever seen. Thankfully, Forlan put us out of our misery, and they definitely deserved the win That Leicester penalty

Has to be Napoli Theres a few contenders in France though

you coming in the living room to watch it you melon? I'll just finish this practice exam and I'll be in. Patience

C'MON ATLETICO!!!!!!!!!!!!

That it's superstition and that this is nothing but coincidences and bad luck like any rational and intelligent human being. Cole injured. Beckham, Rooney, Barry, Ferdinand injured. Now Terry possibly injured. Then theres all the personal stuff thats part and parcel of tournament year - affairs, divorces etc. The closer the tournament is, the more things seem to be going wrong. Obviously yes, its a coincidence, it can't be anything else. But its still very unlucky and worse than probably any other nation.

Capello must have sneered at the idea of an 'England jinx' when he arrived. Wonder what he thinks now.

Hansen "That was terrible, terrible defending" Zola "Well he didn't do it on purpose and I'm sure he has a wife and some kids and a dog watching this. Nobody is perfect, Alan" Hansen "Aye. OK Franco"

Abbie Clancy is lush. True to form, the German one is hideous (in comparison)

Maradona vs Domenech: Crazy-Off 2010. I need to see this!

I know Dunga has a reputation for picking 11 team players rather than individuals, but that is taking the piss. Some of those choices are laughable, but when you see whos been left out.......its incredible

Atletico Madrid, but theres already a thread on this I think

GK: Hart, James, Green DEF: G Johnson, Carragher (unfortunately), Terry, Ferdinand, King, Upson, A Cole, Warnock MID: Lennon, Walcott, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry, Milner, Carrick, J Cole FOR: Rooney, Heskey, Crouch, Defoe .....and Adam Johnson gets unlucky. btw, Haris Vuckic didn't make Slovenia's provisional

not even a 4th goalie? straight away, i'd cut parker, baines/warnock, bent, dawson, SWP and huddlestone. what happened to ashley young?

All players for sale except parker, and sacking their manager is hardly sorting themselves out? The same squad that nearly got them relegated. The majority of their squad will probably stay, but with improvements on those that go. And with a decent new manager.

Theres one relegation rival sorting themselves out. Never ever rated Zola (as a manager).

invading the pitch has become a disease in the last fortnight. everybody is doing it, and normally with violent scenes

Bobby Zamora

Isn't there only 24 for Portugal there? They've got people's positions all wrong haha

Andy Carroll silences his critics.....often with a glass to the face or a fist to the jaw.

Not taking Joe Cole is a farce tbh. Not even good enough for the preliminary squad?

I skimmed through the list, and I misread and thought he had called up Jímenez from Getafe. Ahhhhh ok. The Getafe one in the Spain squad would be hilarious haha. It tells you everything about Spain when Valdes doesn't normally get in the squad and Fabregas is a substitute What a team!

I might have read it wrong, but isn't the only Jimenez there David Silva?

But by that logic, so could we. Jonas, Colo, Enrique and so on. Maybe, but they still have the stigma of being 'bad' from last season.
