    In all seriousness, I think you'll beat Slovakia in the first game, I do think we'll beat you. Your game against Russia, you will either need a draw or win, to go through...

    I think your issue is whether your doddery old manager actually picks your best side or he picks the old guard on past reputation. If he actually picks your younger players you could go all the way.

    Yep, totally agree, mate.

    I expect our team to look close to something like this...

    A Sunderland fan though. That was my point.

    That's a well rounded England team, but very, very beatable. I can see us frustrating England and we may nick something.

    Let's be honest though, if Wales gets out of the group that will be an achievement.

    I don't really agree with that. The way your team has come on, there's nothing to split you and Russia at the moment. I'd say it's advantage Wales because of the momentum you have.

    The Euros are wide open this year, the favourites France and Germany are more than beatable and Spain aren't the same anymore. I wouldn't be surprised to see an outsider win the tournament, this year.

    Well I hope you're right. But I think that any team that puts most of its reliance on one player is pushing its luck. None of our players have experience at tournaments either - not even Bale - and that's not good. I'd love to see us go further but I can't see it.

    I can Aussie, i can see us reaching the quarter final stage with a full team. Our lads will be right up for this having not qualified before and there is normally one newbie team that does well and i think we have just enough to be that team.....There is no doubt that by us qualifying is an achievement already but i think we will be the surprise team in the tournament....

    Hope so. I'll be watching anyway. Hate to bring a downer on this but I really worry about terrorism. I'm convinced they'll do something - probably at a bar or fanzone. Horrible thing to mention maybe, but I am worried - particularly as my son is going.

    It was a toss up between Rooney and Barkley. It's a very youthful side with not a lot of first team experience of playing in finals, he's in there for the experience that he would bring.
