Alright geezer. I'm Jamie Redknapp, Sky Sports football pundit. You may have seen me recently playing golf on a beach with no shirt on. That's just how I like to relax. But on to the football. Today in Warsaw or somewhere, they done the draw for the European Championships in 2012. I'm taking an in-depth look at England's group, assessing their opponents' strengths and that, and giving my verdict on their chances.
Group G
ENGLAND
Switzerland
Bulgaria
Wales
Montenegro
It looks like England have got a tough draw - they're playing a lot of teams I remember being quite good a few years back. Switzerland - well, they're better at skiing, football ain't their game, but I imagine they'll be tough to break down. They're on the up I think. Or maybe in decline. Either way it'll be tough, but England should win both games.
Bulgaria are all about Berbatov. Tel just texted me and said they just play Berbatov, and pick the rest of the players out of a hat - some of them are just blokes knocking about, not even professionals. I think he's pulling my leg. He is, isn't he? Is he? Anyway, they're gonna be a bit of a crack outfit, being from Eastern Europe and that. Tough to break down, but England should beat them.
Wales, well, that's an interesting one. A bigger game in rugby, innit, but there'll be a great atmosphere in Cardiff for that one. Wales will love to get one over on England, but I don't see it happening. England will be too strong. Does Ryan Giggs still play for Wales? If so, he'll have a big influence on the game. Anyway, Wales will be right up for it, and they'll be tough to break down. England to win both games.
Montenegro? Tel's pulling my leg here. That ain't a real country. It is? Well I never heard of it, so I'm gonna assume they're crap. All in all, an easy path to, where is it, is it Poland? But it will be tough. Cheers.
