It'll have to go some to be worse than 88 and 92!

I am sure we will win the group easy,

THEN

Lose on pens in the quarter final.



That's about right(getting to the QF, not winning the group easily!)

I think getting to the QF would be a reasonable result for us. The likes of Spain, Holland and Germany are well ahead of us right now and I think we will exit as soon as we meet one of them.

Sorry to be so negative but, unless the draw is very kind to us, I just don't see us getting to the last four.

I'm supremely confident we will get further than we did at the last Euros

Will be surprised and delighted if we get beyond the group stage. Can't see anything but defeat to France and we haven't beaten Sweden for decades. Then just a simple matter of Ukraine on their own patch.

Total nonsense. We aren't talking about the medical profession here...some of the best managers and coaches (many of them, in fact) have done best in their first job!


Some people seem to be thinking that Neville is some kind of tactical genius because he can state the blindingly obvious after watching a game with aid of a dozen replays. Oddly enough, people used to think the same about Andy Gray as well and he even wrote a book (probably ghosted?) about the history of tactics.

However, being able to to see what is happening in a game from a good viewing position in the studio and with the assistance of multiple replays isn't exactly an indication of genius - just because a lot of the pundits are clueless feckwits (Townsend, Redknapp and Shearer come to mind especially) doesn't mean they all have to be.

Neville may well turn out to be a decent coach but he certainly hasn't got the experience yet and touting his work in the media as an indication of ability is a bit of a stretch for me. I notice that Hodgson has referenced Neville's punditry on Sky but I reckon he's being smart here and is getting him on board as a PR move for both the press and the players, most of whom have never worked with Hodgson.
