The 'Three Lions' are in bad shape and that's the way I make me feel thanks to the Formula 1 boss McLaren. It's obvious that money is a tremendous paper in our society but without the silence of the dead, we could not sing as well as Freddy Mercury. Finally, I thank all my fans because they deserve a love from my part and of course I answer them yes either of clear. I think it’s the right way to improve.

As sick as I am of playing France, it'll be nice to make them bridesmaids once again. Domenech rigged this to get Italy and thus more face time for his ugly ass, second-place finishing mug.

Probably because not all the countries that played in qualifying.... qualified? So it would be cumbersome compare World Cup records that simply do not exist for half the countries in this tournament? PS. I was filled with glee when Italy got France.... again! “No consideration given to how the teams did when they got to World Cup.”

I really regret it now. France is once again in the Group of Death. But that's okay because France will own Italy, Netherlands, and Romania this summer!

Same with the defending champ. They should be in the tournament (as it should be in the World Cup as well), but I don't see why all teams that make the tournament shouldn't be seeded according to their results. I still say that any international competition should just go by FIFA World Rankings, for consistency.

It's obviously problematic if you got two of them. I don't see the point in seeding the title holder though. Seeding the host isn’t a problem in my opinion.

Particularly when there's two of them, and neither of them are particularly good. Indeed, I think it’s about time we stopped automatically seeding hosts.
