"No one expects we will perform and be a champion, it's something different. In every tournament we attended, bahasannya always about the players that we have to win the tournament and we will be champions. (Current situation) It can help we are. "
"But Britain is in a tough group. France seems to be rising. They will perform better than the previous tournament. In Sweden, rarely do we get over them and convince the Ukrainians who appeared at home will be a serious opponent," Shearer analysis.
