I thought now would be a good time to start a Euro 2020 thread, as the nations involved have announced their provisional squads.
England's provisional 33-man squad in full
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Man Utd), Sam Johnstone (West Brom), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Sheff Utd)Defenders: John Stones (Man City), Luke Shaw (Man Utd), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Man City), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Reece James (Chelsea), Conor Coady (Wolves), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Ben Godfrey (Everton), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Ben White (Brighton)
Midfielders: Mason Mount (Chelsea), Declan Rice (West Ham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds), Jesse Lingard (Man Utd), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)
Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd), Raheem Sterling (Man City), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Phil Foden (Man City), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Mason Greenwood (Man Utd), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
England are being seen by some as potential favourites for the competition as we will have home advantage in all three group games. Wembley will also host the round of 16 game for the winners of our group, and will host the semi-finals and the final.
Some surprises might be in store in the group stage as multiple teams will have home advantage. Italy and the Netherlands are probably favourites to top their respective groups, but Denmark, Hungary, Scotland and Russia will be playing “home” games against teams which are currently in the top 10 world rankings. The “group of death”, Group F, is of particular interest as Germany and Hungary are ranked below France and Portugal but will be playing all their games on home turf.
