I assume Lewandowski doesn't order the soufflé then.  Would be the hight of selfishness if you are waiting for soup of the day.

How do we expect France to line up? Not particularly interested in their defence, more their midfield and forwards. Do they play both Griezmann and Giroud? Is Payet a regular now? How far forward and how much freedom does Pogba get?

Got my eye on a few potential bets....

Guardian Experts Network is a superb series with great insight into the players, tactics and what went on during qualifying, all written by brilliant local journos. They've been publishing three a day starting from Group A (https://www.theguardian.com/football/series/euro-2016-guardian-experts-network)

The expected line-up as per the French team guide is below: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/02/france-euro-2016-team-guide

                   Lloris

Sagna-Mangala-Koscielny--Evra
                 Kante
     Maltuidi           Pogba
    Marital-Giroud-Griezmann

watching 1996 eng v german semi with a mate on bt sport now and we just talking about how England can't possibly win the Euros this year because none of the current squad (in 2016 obv Rooney would have done in his prime but he isn't in his prime in 2016) would have got into the starting 11 of the 1996 team.   Anyone think anyone in the current England squad would have started in 1996 and ahead of who?

I'd probably put Ali in ahead of Anderton?

That was the only discussion we had.   The rest weren't even close in virtually every other position.

Pretty sure Payet starts , has been close to MOM in all his last few starts

Agree on Payet, he's been a key player lately.

[Sportshead]

Think Payet could potentially be the star of the Tournement

Maybe bias as a West Ham fan, but he really is a great player to watch

Rami will start ahead of Mangala too I think.

It's a brilliant team, defence will need help but Kante should be more than up for that.

So much competition in the squad

Lassana Diarra has started the last 3 friendlies as the DM

He's out of the squad with a knee injury, Schneiderlin has replaced him.

Ah cheers had not seen that

Walker and Rose would start full backs. Hart would start on goal. Dier would start defensive midfield

[TightEnd]

Behave. Seaman would start ahead of Hart. Pearce miles ahead of rose. Walker ahead of Gary Neville? Not a hope .Only really the anderton and mcmanaman spots in the 96 team would be vulnerable to Amy in this squad
