Euro 2012 finals general thread

Oh, it's going to be a wonderful tournament. Poor infrastructure, overpriced lodgings, corrupt, fascist country presidents and neo-nazi fighting squads. I'm very happy the men in charge chose so wisely a location for the games! It'll be a real showcase.

Front page of tomorrow's Guardian Sport - "England Axe Ferdinand - Hodgson tells United defender he is not part of his plans for Euro 2012"

Guess that means England's Brave John Terry is going if true

Ferdinand is past his best and I know theres concerns about him playing games every few days but he's still better than Terry and pretty unique in style compared to the rest of the centre backs. Think this might backfire and he's going to get an incredible amount of criticism for dropping a Man Utd golden boy. Awesome!

That's probably the reason he's dropped

"Just fackin launch it!"

[Imy]

Is there going to be a Euro 2012 sub- forum?

[Alex]

Im sure there was for other tournaments? Or was that just an international sub forum?

[Angryred]

For the home nations, maybe a good idea or maybe for the groups instead?

[Chris]

A Denmark squad without Gronkjaer, Jorgenson and Tomasson is just not right.

[Darkon]

I would have been fairly shocked if the two on retirement was called in

There is a good chance Jørgensen will be called up as one of the last 3.
