“Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Alex Scott lead comprehensive coverage across TV and radio, and will be joined by a host of England, Scotland and European stars including the likes of Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, Cesc Fabregas, Micah Richards, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Williams, Ellen White, Rachel Corsie and James McFadden.
Several exciting names from the world of football make their Men’s Euros BBC punditry debut including Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Thomas Frank and David Moyes.
Danny Murphy, Martin Keown and Jermaine Jenas will be up on the gantry providing expert analysis as co-commentators.”
“Kelly Cates and Steve Crossman will join Mark Chapman in fronting 5 Live’s wall-to-wall daily programmes, with coverage of all 51 Euros matches. BBC Football correspondent John Murray leads the radio commentary team.”
“Led by main presenter Mark Pougatch along with Laura Woods, ITV’s star-studded Euros squad will offer a wealth of insight, expertise and opinion from a punditry line-up of Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Karen Carney, Graeme Souness, Eni Aluko, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou, Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Röhl and refereeing analyst Christina Unkel.
Commentary will come from Sam Matterface, Clive Tyldesley, Seb Hutchinson, Pien Meulensteen and Joe Speight, supported by co-commentators Lee Dixon, Ally McCoist, and Andros Townsend, with Gabriel Clarke reporting from the England camp, Connie McLaughlin with the Scotland squad, and Celina Hinchcliffe rounding up the news from the tournament.”
“Moving into the knockout rounds, ITV will have the first three picks, plus the fifth and seventh picks from the Round of 16 ties, the second and fourth Quarter-final picks and first pick of the Semi-finals. Both ITV and the BBC will show the Final. All ITV games will be shown on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.”
So if England get through the group and knockouts we’ll get round of 16 on ITV, quarter final on BBC and semi final on ITV.
Some very good players there, particularly in midfield/out wide, Musiala, Kroos, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz, Muller, Sane although i feel the lack of a world class striker might be their undoing.
I'm in frankfurt for the world cup of darts on saturday 29th June. If England finish 2nd and Germany win their group, that night they play eachother in Dortmund. 3 hour train and how the hell i'd get tickets who knows but i'd give it a go!
Getting the Eurostar to Cologne Friday 14th June. Cannot bloody wait! Imagine i'll be too steaming from 5+ hours of train beers to remember much from the opening game

Striker and fullbacks. I do think Fullkrug is going to do well though, because he can do something similar to what he does for Dortmund which is occupy defenders and link up play with the talented midfielders and wingers behind him. I doubt Germany will be as counter-attacking as BVB are, but still think his selflessness will be effective. He's not as good as Giroud was, but it's a similar role to what Giroud did with France for many years.
Apart from maybe CB, there are no huge weaknesses in the first maybe 15-16 players in this squad. I think where they could get into trouble is the lack of fullback and CB depth, and which Alvaro Morata will turn up? Joselu has been an excellent impact sub, but he's more of a change of pace/battering ram than a compliment to their possession style.
Spain, Germany, France, England are all very talented squads, but all lack in certain areas. You could probably put Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands into that category as well, albeit not with quite as much talent but still a lot of ability. Just seen that bookmakers also have Belgium in that mix, which, I would not. I'm really looking forward to it, I always love the Euros, and I think this is a competition that will see a lot of parity.
99% of the Danish population who cares about football are fuming.
Eriksen, Damsgaard? They are next players and have shown nothing.
How is Matt O’Riley not in the squad? Has he fallen out with the manager? Brilliant player and, as a Rangers fan, I hate him for it!
No ones knows. Mind boggling. And especially Hjulmand’s answer when he was asked why O’Riley wasn’t in the squad: ‘O’Riley has been good, but there are other players that are better than him.’

It's basically just trying the Euro 2020 squad again one more time. To some extent I get that when you're not necessarily brimming with quality knocking on the door. But the O'Riley one is a weird one, especially when it's a 26 man squad.

Plenty of options around Europe for him to pick from. We know that this squad is past its best. That was obvious during the World Cup and the qualifiers (narrow 2-1 win vs San Marino).
Only positive thing to take from this is that we’re getting a new manager after the Euros.

WTF??? The guy is on acid.
Does seem bizarre that he hasn't been picked but i guess it's a dig at the standard of the Scottish league than anything else. It's like an 'ok he's done well but look at what he's playing against' type of response.
if you look at the other midfielders they've named, one plays in Belgium, one just won the league in Portugal and the other 5 play in the premier league.
I think Musiala could be the star of the tournament.
Disagree and willing to look like a fool on this but always thought he was incredibly overrated. A good player nothing more. Then again I said the same about Vini Jr and have since changed my mind.

No Matt O’Riley in the squad either.

IMHO, I thought he was average to best on his return after injury. Even Ange was taking him off with 15-20 mins to go which says something.
There's no way he gets in the starting XI anyway.
