Re: Euro 2012
So... when Hodgson managed Fulham in the Europa League, he knocked out a Ukrainian team in Donetsk, then an Italian team, then a German team before losing to a Spanish team in the final.

I reckon Carroll should start up-front, not sure who he should partner, hate to say it, but probably Rooney.

Re: Euro 2012
Carroll not a bad option but I'd still rather see Welbeck and Rooney up top, let Danny use his pace on the pensioners with Rooney playing off / slightly deeper holding the ball, feeding Welbeck, feeding Young down the wing.
Hart
GJ (sadly) Terry Lescott Cole
Milner (to cover GJ) Parker Gerrard Young
Rooney
Welbeck
60 mins in if appropriate then bring on Walcott for Milner and Carroll for Welbeck.

Re: Euro 2012
Other than Hart, Lescott and Terry, it was a poor England performance. Italy thoroughly deserved to go through. At least we are spared the humiliation of another thrashing by the Germans.

Re: Euro 2012
Not an English bashing comment from a Jock, but you guys were absolutely pish. Started really well but then just fell out of it completely. How Italy never won that game in regulation is beyond me. One good thing did come out of it though...
Ashley Cole missing that penalty. Not because he plays for England, because hes a totally reprehensible human being and the quality of his penalty was utter gash. Summed up how much of a cocky arse he is and he got found out...yet again!
Getting knocked out gracefully on penalties has saved you from a complete hammering from the krauts.
bye bye Engerland....
