I'm genuinely excited by this squad. Feel quite a bit for Drinkwater and personally I would have taken one more defender and Townsend but compared to the DROSS of the last 2 tournament squads this is great to see a team of form players.
Kane, Vardy, Rooney (since dropping to CAM), Alli, Wilshire(not played, but seriously, what a talent).
Yeah you have your Milners and Hendersons but every squad needs that stability.
And for once our bench will look genuinely dangerous. Sturridge and Rashford are fine options and Barkley has that potential to change a game.

Hopefully I'm going to be eating humble pie by July then .
Wilshere's fitness history means that he would always be a risk, but its one he HAD to take.
Drinkwater is a perfectly decent midfielder (and I'd have no complaints if he'd made it ahead of Henderson, for one), but he's not in (a fit) Wilshere's class. Not even close.
You can't be picking someone who is simply adequate, over someone who IF he stays fit is simply a lot better. We have to go there trying to win it, not just plod through with mediocre shirt-fillers.

Wow that is shocking... That Denmark game was the first England game i saw with my girlfriend... and that seems yeeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrrs ago...
I'd like to have seen Noble or Drinkwater go... Townsend would have been a good winger with pace to bring on for another attacking option.
I'm finding that all the players i dislike going for various reasons are all Liverpool..
Lallana, Henderson, Sturridge, Milner
The sight of Rooney on any team sheet worries me. He is a liability and overrated at that however his new deeper role will be better.
I think we may go far this tournament... Exciting and attacking football. 2 England strikers who came 1st and 2nd in the prem top goalscorers list the season before the tournament. When was the last time that happened.
Quietly confident... Rather Vardy plays down the middle though
Leeds have had 6 managers since Wilshere last played 90 minutes for Arsenal.

Watching the friendly v Portugal we seem to be still not sure of a formation that works as Rooney HAS to play. So much so that in order to play Vardy and Kane upfront, Alli has to play out of position.

Blimey. Alves red card makes Stephens look like nothing!
Absolutely horrendous........makes even Barton look soft. Could have caused a terrible injury - deliberate attempt to take Kane out of the Euros ?

This is the England way. Name the 11 highest earning individuals who are fit and hope between them they can work it out

Spot on and why we will never succeed at international level square pegs in round holes

Kane was lucky to keep his left ear.

I thought it was a tribute to Burt Kwouk by giving a Cato impression.
Very reminiscent - hideous challenge.
