For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Also the decision not to bring Rio Ferdinand is quite mystifying, despite the whole Terry fued, and calling up Martyn Kelly instead.
Spain, Holland, Germany or France
I think England could even go out in the group stage
No confidence from me about the English set up
Spain, dont forget them!
supprisingly, the teams in the groups of death never win...
I see France Germany in final and Italy playing better than expected (eventhough I realy don t hope so!)
Group B certainly is the Group of Death! Theres always one in every torunament. France and ENgland should be the ones progressing from our group but who knows what could happen. Can Hodgson deliver on the maybe exaggerated expectations of us English fans?
At every major tournament a new star is born.
Jack Butland (England, 19 years old)
When he was farmed off on loan to third-tier Cheltenham Town FC at the start of the season, not in his wildest dreams can Butland have imagined that by the season's end he would be jetting off to a major tournament with the England senior side. The 19-year-old has come in following John Ruddy's debilitating finger injury and many England supporters may have muttered 'Jack Who?' upon learning of his inclusion in Roy Hodgson's 23, but Butland was no stranger to Stuart Pearce, who selected the 193cm-tall keeper six times for the Under-21s.
Maxym Koval (Ukraine, 19)
Goalkeeper Koval was given his big break as a 16-year-old at Metalurh Zaporizhya FC. Rushed into the first team after an injury crisis he took his chance, quite literally, with both hands, conceding just 23 goals in 19 matches. FC Dynamo Kyiv came calling in the 2010/11 season after another standout performance against them and he has deputised impressively ever since as understudy to Oleksandr Shovkovskiy. Injuries in the goalkeeping department have earned him a spot at UEFA EURO 2012, but only time will tell whether the uncapped 19-year-old, who is vying for a place along with Andriy Pyatov and Oleksandr Goryainov, will get his chance for the co-hosts.
Jores Okore (Denmark, 19)
The imposing Ivorian-born stopper was handed his first-team debut at FC Nordsjælland last season and has never looked back. He cemented a regular place in the side this term, earning two international caps in friendly victories against Sweden and Finland in November, and helping Nordsjælland win their first ever Danish title. With excellent control for a big man and an innate sense of anticipation, Okore's shortlist of admirers could become a very long one by the end of June.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (England, 18)
Tender in years but bullish in stature, Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest in a long line of young midfielders to emerge under Arsène Wenger. The Arsenal FC manager signed the gifted son of former England winger Mark Chamberlain after he had helped Southampton FC win promotion to the English second division last season with nine goals in 34 league games. Powerful and fleet of foot, he has played well enough in his 18 Premier League appearances and four UEFA Champions League matches to convince Hodgson that he was ready for the big stage.
Jetro Willems (Netherlands, 18)
A left-back who only broke into the PSV Eindhoven first team this season, Willems made the step up following an injury to team-mate and Netherlands regular Erik Pieters. He only won his first international cap against Bulgaria at the weekend but is now vying for a second when the Oranje take on Denmark in their opening game. Should the full-back play this summer, he will become the youngest player to appear at a EURO, breaking the record set by Scifo, who was 18 years 115 days when helping the Diables Rouges to a 2-0 win against Yugoslavia on 13 June 1984.
Rafał Wolski (Poland, 19)
Regarded as one of the most exciting young talents to emerge in Poland, Wolski will be hoping to shine for the co-hosts if given the opportunity. He has been in wonderful form for Legia Warszawa this season and earned comparisons with Borussia Dortmund starlet Mario Götze – who only turns 20 himself on 3 June – which perhaps explains why the German champions have been linked, along with several other leading clubs, with the playmaker. Wolski appeared in both recent friendly victories against Latvia and Slovakia and could be the wild card that inspires the home nation.
