Paris, here we come.

Is it time to consider our (that is - England's) chances in Euro 2016?  After all, we're on a bit of a roll - last 20 matches, won 16, drawn 2, lost 2. Not too shabby.  So what are our chances?  Problem as I see it is our defence, which doesn't look particularly robust. On the other hand, we now have a potentially free-scoring attack - if we play Kane, Vardy, Sterling and Rooney all together and give then freedom to roam and shoot on sight.  I think our strategy should be - attack, attack, attack.  Like the old Brazilian philosophy - if you score two, we'll score three.  After all, the Brazilians had no defence to speak of, but that never worried them - they were always confident they could outscore their opponents.  So what do I really think?  Quarter-finals - semis if we're lucky.
