Who do we fancy boys?

Sane left out of the final Germany Squad

[Charlie Kelly]

Brazil to win for me.

No Sane for Germany is a terrible decision, not got many players that can do what he does!

What's the chat with leaving Sane out? Can't be based on ability surely?

[Zizou]

Neymar back yesterday with a good goal. He could be the difference.

All I know is that Messi will do fuck all as per and probably rage retire again 

[Picards Forehead]

Sane has played in 6 of Germany's last 7 games and been left out

[Half Time Guest]

Incredible that Germany have left Sane out, definitely a huge surprise. Ozil is a very lucky lad to be in there by comparison when you look at their seasons against one another. I saw Keown have a go at Ozil after they got papped out the UEFA Cup saying he doesn't turn up when it matters. 
 
Spain have left a fair amount of big names out too - Fabregas, Morata, Bellerin and Marcos Alonso. That's huge strength in depth. Even with all them missing their squad looks brilliant.

Also saw Benteke didn't make the cut for Belgium. He's only scored three goals all season for Palace and the Belgians according to the BBC. A disgrace that deal players like that will be earning 50k a week despite being utterly honking.

Thats their squad (picked off the Independent website) Only thing is I think Timo Werner is a striker and not a midfielder, but fucking fuck me that is one talented group. Experience, youth, pace, goals

Ze Germans to win for me, France are a shout but I think Deschamps is a pap manager

Wanted Spain to win it but after fucking my coupon last night I'm in the German camp 

[Giza Brek]

That's crazy how sane has been left out, Reus is a nap to get injured first gane and miss the entire tournament.

Draxler

Spain for me

[Iker Kashillas]

Can't see past a Germany France final. England only taking 30k fans, obviously shitting it from the Russian

[Hank Scorpio]

France v Spain final for me.

That's about 25k more than I thought they would tbf.

I'd be going nowhere near russia as an England fan.

[Le Quatrième Reich]

Croatia look really strong as an outside bet

[Nive la France]

I've got a feeling Argentina will be the big team fucked out in the groups. They're old, slow and hamstrung by pressure to deliver for Messi. All three of their games in the group are potential banana skins too: Nigeria, Croatia and Iceland.

That's the only group you'd consider a group of death too, as the others are either filled with shite or have two big-guns and two no-hopers.
