Defoe out now due to his father dying.

Defoe out now due to his father dying.

The Tottenham forward, 29, is expected to return to the squad in due course and no replacement will be called up.

Unless BBC have it wrong (wouldnt surprise me)

 

[CliffyG]

Ah i didn't read anything about him returning.

 

[MooMoo444]

Hope he does stick it out, not having Rooney and losing yet another striker would be a disaster lol

Never fear we still have Andy Carroll.

Had to chuckle.

 

[Robbo]

It's embarrassing really.

42% implied chance of being out at the group stages. 6% implied chance of winning it.

 

[MooMoo444]

Jesus Christ that means absolutely nothing to me rofl

 

[Locky]

England have NO CHANCE what so ever of getting out the group stage and that's a fact.

Some of Ukraine squad apparently got food poisoning from eating salad at a German restaurant.

 

[Pighardia]

Christ is Defoe only 29!

Seems like he has been around forever

most of them should be fit for the 1st game (based on reports), so 2nd game against England it probably wont make much difference

France havent been amazing (apart from thier morale boosting win last time out against an awful team lol) but I wouldnt be at all surprised if they edge past England and take the other two games at a stroll

Just put a bet on and the returns are £170 if England come second or don't qualify...

Rough translation:
Most people think that England will get knocked out early, either at the group stage or to a lesser extent the quarter finals.

I think the quarter finals personally but I can also see us finishing 3rd in group.

What did you bet on exactly?
