Really sad news about Cahill. Such things should not be allowed to happen on the football pitch. Sad. [:(]

I hope England can rally the team for the championship.

Strange isn't it? Losing FOUR players since around the time of the squad announcement (and that's on top of losing Kyle Walker at the end of the season).....

How have Sweden's preparations gone?

[Orm]

How have Sweden's preparations gone?

I think it is going pretty much as planned. No new injuries. But some of the players in the squad was recovering from previous injuries and their participation is not yet certain.

We have one more training game to play so hopefully no injuries in that game.

Swedens defence looks to weak for comfort but our attack seems decent enough. But I am not sure that the attack will be enough versus stronger teams.

[warspite1]

Its a very tough group we are both in - when you look at Poland's group, the Ukraine can rightly feel a little hard done by.....

[Orm]

Yes. Poland seem to have an easy group.

It is to early to vote for me. There can still be injuries on starting players and so on. But I can understand why you want to start the voting.

Warsaw has spent over 60 millions of zloty to create "Sports Fans Zone".
Warsaw is donating all city's nurseries with 15 millions of zloty yearly.

Warspite has England out and Sweden France through. Would say the same myself.
