I watched this thing on England managers and some of them looked like fly-by-nights, thugs or mouthy taxi drivers. i hope you're going to start some music threads today, JC and not just cause a lot of bother in the football thread.

I don't really want to take up residence here, if that's what you're worried about.
We need a new project for the music board, a series of related threads. I'm working on it right now, but suggestions welcome.

Today's predictions.
England vs Croatia - This is a tough one. England probably have enough to win and have won handsomely before against Croatia in the past. Croatia aren't as strong as they were; Modric, Rakitic and the old warrior Perisic are 5 years older, whilst England have some truly excellent players such as Mount who might well have made a difference in Russia. However, it's still the first game of the tournament and they'll be full of nerves, particularly as Maguire is absent.
I'm going to say a nervy 1-1.
Austria vs North Macedonia - North Macedonia will be massively up for this and I reckon they'll get a cheeky draw.
Netherlands vs Ukraine - Without VVD the Dutch aren't as intimidating, but they probably have enough to see off Ukraine, who I suspect won't be aggressive enough to take the game to their opponents. 2-0 to the Dutch.

Today's predictions.
England vs Croatia - an unconvincing 1-0 win for England
Netherlands vs Ukraine - i've put some money on a ukraine win. i think the dutch will be the tournament's biggest underachievers.

Looks like the following for England...
Pickford; Stones, Mings, Walker, Trippier; Rice, Phillips, Mount, Foden; Sterling, Kane

That reads like a list of prog bands !
I am not sure (even when playing at home) that you can have twelve on the pitch Skopey.

He needs to find a way of fitting Foden and Grealish in the team. But if I had to sacrifice one, at this stage I'd go with Grealish above Foden.

how on earth can trippier play at left-back instead of shaw or chilwell?

Perhaps this is part of the plan to finish 2nd in the group
