    50/50 That De bruyne and Hazard make it for friday, no structural injuries were revealed on scans. I have hope that they will be there on friday even if not for an entire game.

    Still considered a big side regardless, and it wasn't without its stars.

    They were regarded as chronic underachievers really, never as good or as big as they should have been until the mid-2000s really.

    Spain before they won their titles we're always considered as an mediocre team, with some names, who always choked when push comes to shove. A team with at least three different camps : A Barcelona one, a Madrid one, and often a northern one.
    So Spain in 96 in no way was a topteam.

    Phew! I was a bit worried about the match but it would appear that there's nothing to worry about.

    I'm sure everyone can probably name one or two people on the bench they think should be starting. I'm up to 3.

    Same could be said for Holland and they were considered massive favourites in 96, till they got absolutely battered in the group stage.

    Thats a VERY defensive line up, Trippier in for free kicks is all I can think, unless hes got some new way of playing with 3 full backs. Or double team Gosens?

    Grealish Foden and Mount on the bench, I guess its up to Kane to create chances for Kane.

    Looks like a back 3 with wingbacks

    Best news of the day: Frank de Boer is fired. Thanks Frank for the 10 amazing months.

    Germans set up cautiously too, this might not be another 3-3

    I bet Gareth is banking on Sterling getting another goal, it does feel like a "park the bus" line up tbh

    Booing through a national anthem is so disrespectful

    Phillips and Rice need to get a grip in midfield, too easy for Germany

    As much as I still despise Germany, the hype up of the English team, every single tournament, just is annoying. The PL maybe the strongest league, but let's be fair, that's not because of the English players.
