seems to me to be a old fashioned box to box midfielder

Does Eric Dier still make the England squad?
If so, how?

Shockingly poor Spain squad.

Havent looked at groups and possible knock pairings but cant see beyond France and Portugal. Belgium bottle it in semis as usual. Germans will do ok. England dark horses.

There’s always a Turkey/Romania/Bulgaria shock team.

He's played as a defensive midfielder for England though, I would've thought he was looking for Henderson to not make it to get a spot, albeit the extra three men will probably see him in.

Have money on Foden, Shaw, Saka and Johnstone to make the squad, first two are guaranteed, Johnstone should get in, worried about Saka.

I done a few bets to make the squad too. Done them about 6 weeks ago prior to the increase in squad numbers from 23 to 26! Bookies prob won’t pay out, couldn’t get a definitive answer from them on it ffs.

Saka's versatility might help him get the nod.

Would you consider two of the top favourites in Portugal and England as dark horses? 

Sides like Turkey or Croatia would be a more accurate description of dark horses for this tournament imo.

Portugal are 6th favourites at 9/1, were 8th favourites at 14/1 before all the squad announcements came out.

They are not the top favourites. As explained before it's pretty unlikely they're winning their group therefore having to goto Wembley to play England or potentially Seville to play Belgium, with the bookies giving Germany almost equal odds of 7/1 which basically the bookies are saying if you don't top Group F you're getting a rough ride.

Can France make a third final in a row? Usually teams under the same manager go a bit stale Lowe with Germany a perfect example, but Deschamps calling up Benzema could be the joker in the pack. Either that or it'll be another snooty French implosion
