Southgates thoughts on England.

Besides the problems facing England in Poland and Ukraine, Southgate is also pessimistic about the future of the England team.

"I look outside the squad and the standby list and there aren't too many players that come into your thinking as being of international quality," Southgate said.

"The pool of players to pick from is the biggest thing ... we have to look at developing young players and changing how we do that."

I know Gary Neville's not the brightest, but are you telling us that Gareth Southgate does his thinking for him?

Yes you are ethnic, and you are not allowed to be involved with an English-affiliated club here in Adelaide

People are calling me delutional, but I seriously think that Ireland are in with a real chance. They'll be incrediably hard for even Spain to break down, probably harder than anyone else. Throw on top of that it'll be 10 years to the day (deducting leep years, everyone knows they're a farce) Spain knocked them out of 2002 on penalties, they'll be hungry for revenge. Obviously picking up maximum points againt Croatia is a must, add a draw or a cheaky win against Italy and they're on their way.

A knock-out clash against England or, please god, France would put them in very good favor to progress and from there it's anyones game.

Paying 101-1 to win might be worth throwing $50 on. Stranger things have happened e.g. Denmark 1992

LMAO, I know its a wild call. But 2 losses in the past 25 competative and only conceding 8 goals in the meantime is pretty impressive, as is the 15 game unbeaten run they're riding in on. If a bigger nation was sporting that then we'd be handing them the trophy before a ball was kicked

love this ethnic thing going around !
Must be tongue in cheek from some of you.
In adelaide if you are non-ethnic, don't even bother trying to get equality at a so-called ethnic based club, you are urinating into a gale force wind. That gets on my goat when people roll out stuff like that on the forums, if you don't have 'ic' at the end of your name then don't bother going to some clubs, that is disgraceful attitude.
Football is a world game, yes different nations/backgrounds play the game differently ( Brazil, Italy, England, Japan,Holland, ghana, spain, Germany etc etc ), but a player is a player regardless of his background, which club he plays for & which nationality he represents.
The Irish have done well with players who have cockney accents over the years!
If a pole represnts Germany, who cares, it gives him a chance to showcase his talents on the world stage.
eg: gabrel-celase for Czech republic, who has been outstanding.
