joeyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 This thread will probably die on its arse but thought I'd do it anyway, especially with not much football this summer. Squads are here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_UEFA_European_Under-21_Football_Championship_squads Spain and Holland's squads look very strong Group A Israel England Norway Italy Group B Spain Holland Russia Germany Group B looks very interesting. Posted on another forum, but these are the players with senior caps England: Butland, Caulker, Henderson, Shelvey, Zaha (5) Israel: Twatiha, Ben Harush, Biton, Golasa (4) Italy: Florenzi, Insigne, Verratti, Gabbiadini, Borini, Destro (6) Norway: Hedenstad, Rogne, Semb Berg, Eikrem, Henriksen, Konradsen, Nordtveit, Singh, Berget, Berisha, King, De Lanlay, Nielsen, Pedersen (14) Germany: Holtby (1) Netherlands: Van Rhijn, De Vrij, Martins Indi, Blind, Clasie, Wijnaldum, Strootman, De Jong, Maher, John, Fer, Van Ginkel (12) Russia: Schennikov, Burlak, Shatov, Kokorin, Smolov, Cheryshev, Grigoryev, Dzagoev (8) Spain: De Gea, Montoya, Thiago, Isco, Muniain (5) Anyway, starts this Wednesday and all games on Sky.

Flip Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That Spain team is by far the strongest. Muniain, Isco and Thiago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Spain will stroll it, their defence isn't all that apart from Carvajal and Inigo Martinez but teams won't be able to get the ball anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Spain and Holland have class squads there. I'm doing the Fantasy game because I'm not sad or obsessed at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm thinking England/Norway out of Group A and Spain/Holland out of Group B. Then Spain rapes Norway as Holland rapes England and then Spain rapes Holland. I don't like Italy so I may be biased in my Group A estimate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Would be more interested if some of our players were involved. Paddy Van Aanholt only one with a connection to us I think Shame France aren't in it, could do some scouting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Should be canny. Some of the better teams might succumb to burnout. Won't it be absymally hot in Israel n all? Another tournament that wasn't awarded to us (we bid). Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Spain, Holland and Italy's squads all look good. England's is so meh and I must admit I don't recognise many of the German names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Looking forward to seeing the likes of Verratti, Isco, Insigne, Dzagoev and Strootman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Be nice to watch the Dutch, they have a lot of players I've read a lot about but have never seen play. You'd imagine we'll be sniffing around after a couple of them too. Be interesting to see what madcap tactics Stuart Pearce throws up too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
