Hmm France will be difficult then, but I think England has a fair chance against them. The Netherlands recently lost to Sweden with 3-2! They are very strong at the moment...Sweden that is. Netherlands, not so. Looking forward to this, should be interesting... Netherlands not strong? You were in the World Cup Final less then two years ago! I think Netherlands are won of the favourites, along with Spain and Germany (my tip). England comfortably beat Sweden in a friendly recently, and Spain 1-0 too (not so comfortably), so we are in good shape, but we just always draw with them. We have the potential to do well against France but never do well against big teams in major tournaments. Aye, we were strong back then. the team now just misses that something...the last three games we played were a draw against Switzerland, a loss to Sweden and a massacre in Germany Lots has changed since the World Cup... Van Bronckhorst has retired and we haven't found a proper replacement yet... plus we've had many injuries... But I am optimistic for this summer! Also, reading your comment, England is doing well at the moment! I suspect you will have no difficulties in getting through the first round if you beat Spain and Sweden! It's a shame we didn't get to play to each other in that friendly a couple of months ago...

Also, a plus point for you, Van Persie has been absolutely on fire this season for Arsenal...but he does tend to burn out and get injuries after awhile. Awesome player though.

Well I'm a Hammer! I remember when Frank McAvenie was my favourite player. Last season I went to Upton Park twice and before then it had been 20 years! I'm proud to say that my late Nan was born in 'West Ham'
