What do they say?
Concerning Wales boss team selection Ryan Giggs Saunders said, "It's a completely different team - there's almost no one left. There's Bale, Ramsay, Chris Gunther, Wayne Hennessy and I think Joe Allen, if he fits. But Ryan Giggs kind of gave the youth a chance. No Ashley Williams, and Neil Taylor doesn't look like he'll be on the team.
“He has led the youth now and hopefully the pace and enthusiasm will get us through these games because they come one after the other. So we have a chance."
Recalling his failure to represent Wales in a major tournament, the former international Saunders continued: “The closest we came to playing against Romania was at the World Cup in America. We had a penalty five minutes before the finish line and Paul Boden took the penalty and he scored all the penalties he took for Swindon that season - Swindon who at the time were in Premier League or first division . If he enters, we'll be done.
Gary Speed , who is no longer with us, was next to me, and I said: "If he misses, he will fly out of the bar." We both followed him and the ball hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced over our heads as we ran. We didn't qualify. All my career, if I regret one thing, I didn't play in any of those tournaments."
Discussing the favorites for the upcoming tournament, Shearer added: "Throughout my career, the Italians have always been difficult to beat and I don't see that changing depending on how they set themselves up for how they can and will defend. Defensively they were the best I've ever played against and I think they will continue to be. They'll tune in and try to upset, and they'll be good at it. But I can see how they come through and that is how they will make their mark by being hard to beat.”
