How will England do in euro 2012?

England's opening game starts next Monday, the team is picked and are ready to play their first game against France. In this article you will see who I think should start and who will win the Euro's.

Goal Keepers: 
Joe Hart ( Manchester City)
Rob Green ( West Ham United)
Jack Butland ( Birmingham)

Defenders: 
Ashley Cole (Chelsea)
Leighton Bains ( Everton)
Phil Jagielka (Everton)
Glen Johnson (Liverpool)
Phil Jones (Manchester United)
Joleon Lescott (Manchester City)
John Terry (Chelsea)
Martin Kelly (Liverpool)

Midfielders: 
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
Stuart Downing (Liverpool)
Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)
James Milner (Manchester City)
Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur)
Alex Ox-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Ashley Young (Manchester United)
Theo Walcott (Arsenal)

Forwards:
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Andy Carroll (Liverpool)
Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)
Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur)

My starting 11 would be: (With Rooney)
                       
                                            Hart
Johnson              Terry                            Lescott              Cole

Chamberlain         Gerrard                      Parker               Young
                                 
                                        Rooney
                                                       Defoe

My Starting 11 would be: (Without Rooney)

                                            Hart
Johnson                Terry                      Lescott               Cole

Chamberlain         Gerrard                  Parker                Walcott
 
                                    Young
                                               Defoe


I am predicting England to finish 2nd in the group stages with France finishing top and then England to get knocked out in  the quarter finals.

Winners: Spain
Runners up: Holland
Semi Finals: Germany
Semi Finals: France

England's opponents in the group stages are France, Sweden and Ukraine, this is how I think the results will pan out.

England 1-2 France
England 1-0 Sweden
England 2-1 Ukraine

With Rooney banned for the first 2 games I would like to see Walcott on the right wing and Young just behind Defoe. This will bring England more pace in the squad which they are lacking  in the centre of the park. Roy Hodgson has said that he is focusing on the future and if they do not do well in the euro 2012 then it is not the end of the world, picking the likes of Alex ox-chamberlain and Martin Kelly means that he is preparing for the future, would you want him to prepare for the future or do well in the Euro's?

I want to know where you think England will finish in the tournament and what your starting 11 will be. So send me your views on twitter @HarveyRai95 or on here on the comment section below.
