The three lions had a great streak in qualifications. England won all the matches in the group and is entering as a strong favorite in Group B. The team is built well around the leaders Wayne Rooney, Gary Cahill and James Milner with new fresh names like Premier league goalscorers Jamie Vardy and Hary Kane and the Premiership best young player of this season Dele Alli. Roy Hodgson's side has a great chance to bring England their first European title.

The star: Wayne Rooney
Captain of the three lions break Bobby Charlton's record and became the top goalscorer of the national team in this qualifies. The striker won everything with Manchester United, but still nothing with the national team. He has the great responsibility to lead his teammates on the pitch to success. The captain has great experience on Euros. So far Rooney scored 5 times in 7 games in European championships. Maybe this time he will win not only fan's hearts, but the trophy?
