da esoccer bet： By all accounts England’s friendly at Wembley on Tuesday night against Ghana was surprisingly exciting. After all the moaning about England manager Fabio Capello allowing some high-profile players to leave the squad to rest up for Champions League commitments and in turn accusations of the match being devalued as a result, I think it’s safe to say that most of our worries didn’t come to fruition. It was an open and end-to-end game in which many players furthered their international credentials, but the question is how many of the starting eleven will go on to represent England at Euro 2012?
da brdice： After failing to qualify for Euro 2008 and the dismal performance in the 2010 World Cup, England haven’t exactly given their fans great experiences in recent years. Thus the argument for giving new, younger players a go couldn’t be stronger. For a while there’s been talk of replacing the old guard with talented youngsters, but could this actually be about to happen?
England’s starting eleven against Ghana was as follows: Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill, Baines, Milner, Barry, Wilshere, Young, Carroll and Downing. A handful of those did their chances of keeping their place in the team no harm at all, but when Euro 2012 comes around, who’ll still be in possession of the England shirt?
bet365 are offering odds of 8/11 that four of more of those players will start in England’s opening game of the Euro 2012 tournament in Poland-Ukraine, while there being three or less is priced at evens. So inevitably that leads to the question are there four players who started on Tuesday that you’d want to see playing for the Three Lions in a year’s time?

Barring injury, Joe Hart is an automatic starter for England and should be in between the sticks for many years to come. The Manchester City goalkeeper has wavered at times this season, but again showed what he can offer England on Tuesday. As did Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere, who has already been hailed as the ‘future of England’ and can only go from strength to strength in an England shirt.
Then it becomes slightly more tricky. If Liverpool’s Andy Carroll can build on the form he showed at Newcastle then he’ll be an extremely useful asset for England. His Reds teammate Glen Johnson will also be there or thereabouts, while Aston Villa’s Ashley Young has been very impressive and if a summer move comes to fruition then his England credentials will only be furthered.
Other than that I think the rest will largely be squad players, unless England’s so called ‘stars’ happen to be hit by injury next summer. Who would be in your starting eleven for Euro 2012 and would it contain four or more players that started against Ghana at Wembley?
As far as the bet365 market is concerned you might be wondering what about if England don’t qualify for Euro 2012? Well, that of course is a possibility, but you can rest assured that your stakes will be returned if England don’t qualify!
