Just watching the France/Estonia game - it's a good job France have some attacking talent because their defence is shite.

Although very uncharacteristically, that's the case for Sweden as well. Sweden usually build their success on a tight defence and a well organised team, but this tournament I think our best chance of success is to go all guns blazing. (which our team isn't good enough for and which will therefore lead to us crashing and burning already in the group stage)

IS Jönsson likely to feature at the Euros, by the way?

(The bad news for both of us is that Ribery seems to be in form and up for it right now)

There's no Jönsson in the Swedish squad. I take it you mean Rasmus Jönsson, but he's had a tough start to his first season in Wolfsburg and only played 11 games. He's hopefully one for the future, though, as he's only 22.

As is Benzema. France to win the Euros and Benzema top scorer might be worth a cheeky bet

Yeah that's the guy I mean't.

Can't see France having the bottle to win it. Just my humble opinion and I don't watch loads of internationals but when I've watched them lately they've looked really lightweight.
