I actually forgot he was their manager now.

The Netherlands are a talented bunch. I'm not sure Koeman is the right coach to lead them though

The French must be the favourites, just ahead of England, they are stacked with quality.

They've left out - Michael Olise, Malo Gusto, Mo Simakan, Jean Clair Todibo, Axel Disasi, Mattéo Guendouzi, Jean-Philippe Mateys and Moussa Diaby…among others.

The German preliminary squad has been announced...

Nagelsmann has stated that he will take all four keepers into the tournament so it will be one (or more) outfield players. Reasoning was having more keepers available for training sessions with the team.

Musiala and Wirtz in the same lineup will certainly be a threat. Will have to see if they can score goals.

England provisional squad

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), James Trafford (Burnley).

Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).

Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).

Not sure about the defence or midfield choices to be honest. I know players can slot into other positions but I think some other squads are definitely stronger on paper

Steve Clarke has announced his 28 man squad.

Goalkeepers: Angus Gunn (Norwich City), Zander Clark (Hearts), Craig Gordon (Hearts), Liam Kelly (Motherwell).

Defenders: Andy Robertson (Liverpool), Kieran Tierney (Real Sociedad), Jack Hendry (Al Ettifaq), Ryan Porteous (Watford), Liam Cooper (Leeds United), Scott McKenna (FC Copenhagen), Grant Hanley (Norwich City), Greg Taylor (Celtic), John Souttar (Rangers), Anthony Ralston (Celtic), Ross McCrorie (Bristol City).

Midfielders: Callum McGregor (Celtic), Ryan Christie (Bournemouth), Billy Gilmour (Brighton & Hove Albion), John McGinn (Aston Villa), Kenny McLean (Norwich City), Scott McTominay (Manchester United), Stuart Armstrong (Southampton), Ryan Jack (Rangers).

Forwards: Lyndon Dykes (Queen's Park Rangers), Che Adams (Southampton), Lawrence Shankland (Hearts), Ben Doak (Liverpool), James Forrest (Celtic).

Only two players will be dropped so you'd expect one keeper and then one outfield player.

Interesting that Doak is in. Perhaps one of those defenders will end up missing out.

Is Tierney fit enough? I thought he had a season ending injury?

Would obviously love to see us progress to the knockout stages but the full backs and lack of attacking quality is a concern.
