Galatasaray has LoL team for almost 2 years.

Do they have a LCS spot though? And are they relevant?

I don't follow LoL at all either, so I don't know.

Rashford won't go, Drinkwater wont go, then either Delph/Henderson wont go. Love how we name 4 wingbacks and only 3 centre backs xd Dier can play cb too but that aint going to be an option if injuries. Also the keepers make me laugh, Foster > Heaton by a mile

How about Butland? I reckon Butland > Heaton no?

Best England first 11 on paper:
GK:Hart
Back 4:Walker - Stones - Cahill/Smalling (i'm a bit biased towards Smalling) - Rose
Midfield: Lallana - Dier - Henderson (or Wilshere if he's not injured) - Sterling
Atk. Mid: Alli (Barkley is stronger but Alli got better connection with Kane)
Forward: Kane

Meeh...

EURO 2016 - Turkey in a nutshell
-Lose all friendlies
-Get a draw in first game against Hungary at 90+3 (2 people dies from heart attack)
-Lose second game against Spain horribly
-Win third game against Czechs at 90+6 (4 people dies from heart attack)

Then Fatih Terim start yelling "WE AAARR DI BEST TEEM. LOOK ET DI TABELA (Btw tabela means scoreboard in Turkish)"

I would try having Vardy on the wing instead. His lightning pace could be quite useful in breaking defences

Is England holding on to their outdated 4-4-2 / 4-4-1-1 during the EC? Or can we read this as a 4-2-3-1?

Actually on a second thought I think using Barkley with Dier mid might be a better solution. Granted Barkley is more attacking prone but it might work if he's discipline enough.

I just hate that England has such shitty wings coming into this Euro. Fucking Sterling better step up (citizen scum!). The issue with Vardy is that he can't cross so that might be a bit of a handicap.

Not sure how Rooney will fit in though. He's pretty much guaranteed a starting position given he's the captain. Rooney and Dier mid perhaps?

We are using 4-2-3-1. It is Rooney position that is interesting, sky sources yesterday said he wants to play as a holding midfielder in front of the back 4! Which would be interesting, however i see his best position these days as off the striker as a 10. I also think Betrand > Rose by a long way too so i hope he plays.

He is terrible with Spain, 1 goal in 11 matches if I remember well. Nobody wants him in Spain anyway.

The list is better than I expected (He finally included Saul, Lucas Vasquez and Aduriz). I would make some changes, like Javi Martinez instead of Bartra , and Torres instead of Pedro. Let's see what two players will be dropped from the list.

he sucks is what's up. 12 goals in 28 matches this season in pl, 2 in 8 in CL..

granted, they don't really have any other strikers that score a lot of goals, but they're prolly gonna do the whole 4-6-0 thing and hope for 1 midfielder goal while having so much possession that the opponent doesn't get to score anyway. or penalties.

Really happy to see Nolito on that list.

I think that San Jose might is a surprise in this list (at least for me).

Also, Torres not on the list seems weird to me.

Torres Aduriz and Costa are best strikers for Spain right now. Morata does nothing at highest level and scored less goals in more games in a Juventus win every game league too.

Costa might not have to start but they look better with a striker like that involved rather than a striker who does nothing but has potential ala, Morata and Pacer. Aduriz should start but the guy is old and this is his last tournament surely even though its his first.



es
Goalkeepers: Casillas, De Gea, Rico

Defenders: Alba, Pique, Bartra, Ramos, Carvajal, Azpilicueta, Juanfran

Midfielders: Busquets, Iniesta, Silva, San Jose, Koke, Saul Niguez, Fabregas, Alcantara, Isco, Soriano

Forwards: Pedro, Morata, Aduriz, Nolito, Vazquez

I guess 4-6-0 is how they are going to play here...Midfield is pretty sickening how good it is! They left out Mata from that midfield, Costa from strikers and Bellerin and Monreal from fullback positions xd

Costa missed Chelsea's final two Premier League games against Liverpool and Leicester with a hamstring injury and could still earn a call if he proves his fitness ahead of the May 31 deadline.

Oh so Costa could be no 26 if he proves fitness?

Ok so German team looks meh, 2 decent defenders, a midfielder playing right back and no left back on the German earth it seems?
Midfield has Podoslki in it i don't even. Might as well get Klose right and be done with it
