    it's not a bad squad at all for this euros considering all the doom and gloom about england lacking upcoming youngsters years back.

    Still under southgate, i'm not sure he knows what he's doing

    You never know - might get a joke draw like the World Cup in Russia again. Also Wembley officials like '66?

    Think Kane & Sterling - all those penalties - relentless free kicks for dive after dive after dive...

    But it's Engerland so we all say nowt..

    Law of averages says eventually even a technically deficient side like Engerland can make it. Fitness levels gained from the intensity of playing in the Prem usually carries Engerland further than they should go.. Who knows maybe this time?

    Apart from Hurst none goal in the final, there wasn't any more major decisions that England benefitted from. They should have had a stronger referee for Brazils group , Pele might have stood a chance if they had.

    This is a very Englander centric view.

    My old fella went to a fair few games at Goodison that tournament - he always said the thing was rigged for England to win and that it was unspoken but pretty much known by many. That doesn’t mean it was but so many stars aligned for the hosts who weren’t really in the top 5 of teams competing.

    Also for evidence of Wembleys blatant influence on officials for England games - watch the England Spain game in 96.... It was a travesty.

    No idea about 96 I can't remember but I don't recall any controversial moments regarding England, I saw all the games. Rattin got sent off for the argies and it took him ages to leave the field. Ramsey called them animals, that was putting it mildly.

    Made sure all genuine rivals were out of the way. Pretty simple tactic.

    I'd go 433 Kane drops off a lot, so I don't see any benefit or point to Kane up top as a 1, a great many of his assists for Spurs were in a 3 releasing Son, Moura, Bale, Bergwijn from that deeper position he often picks the ball up in, plus in Trent, Hendo and Mount England have players well capable and practiced at releasing the talented wide/inside forwards early in space or in space through switches

    All fit

    Prickford

    Trent Stones Maguire Chilwell

    Rice Henderson Mount

    Sancho Kane Foden

    Think that's the best use of the players England have, Henderson, Mount, Rice, Sancho, Foden, Trent, Chilwell all very used to playing an aggressive pressing game and looking for the early ball for the quick wide/inside forwards

    I think Chilwell has come on a lot under Tuchel and adapted to be a more aggressive pressing defender and moved a level above Shaw and uses the ball better than him and makes better runs

    I don't think it matters what team he goes with, they are not getting near the final.
