Surely we've gotta have a chance THIS time?

Time to wheel out 'football's coming home' ONE LAST TIME? 58 years of hurt?

Semi final defeat on penalties vs Germany or getting pumped in the final off France?

Anyone going over to Germany?

No way are you bhoycotting past the group stages!

Every bloody tournament it feels like we can go that one step better, only for us to to disappoint again.
The squad we have now could just be Englands turn 🤞🏻

I've said many times England is a second tier football team, winning the word cup gave us expectations  above our  ability. Our record since then as nearly men is no coincidence,I suppose you could say they are like the Boro. :carrick3:

English players playing abroad can only be a good thing. Bellingham looks like he's the real deal.. starting to see why Birmingham retired his shirt now! Kane was banging them in the bundesliga.. hopefully his back is reet

Defending Champions Italy 8/1 in some bookies just to reach the final  :katie:

16/1 to win it again ?  Huge price .

Got the players to win it, we had the players to win the world cup, but we will never win fuck all, as long as the FA keep appointing wet woke farts as managers, who have the heart n courage the size of peas. But yes, I'll be out watching a few games if the weather is nice.

Doesnt make any difference they couldn't raise 11 players anyway.

Wanted elsewhere

If Southgate can alter his defensive mindset (especially in the big games) then maybe we'll have a chance, but I have my doubts

fukyu

Southgate is the most successful England manager since sir Alf. :champs:

Clem Fandango

We won't win anything with Southgate in charge.  A great set of players (particularly attacking) but with his safety first tactics we will never win it.   :carrick3:

AtomicDog

Palestine to win . . . On penalties

Why must I feel like that . . . Why must I chase the 🐈

Southgate comes across as the best we've had, deals with the media well. Our newspapers seem like absolute mentalists when it comes to the England job and he seems to have a handle on that. Also all the club rivalries seem to get put aside for the national team now.. not sure many managers would have been able to do what he's done tbh.

Being in the positions he's been in have made him uniquely equipped for the England job imo

Careful mate

You'll cause a pile-on if you keep bigging up England and Southgate

Wait til Poolie sees this thread, his baldy napper will look like a red snooker ball

I might watch it after the group stage lost interest in England football years ago before Southgate was in charge the trouble with this country we big players up and they let us down in major games
TEESSIDER and Proud  of the area unlike some and I'm not a Racist

Ravishing Rick Rude

This squad is or will be up there with the golden generation, but unfortunately the defence will let us down.

Pickford is steady enough but we need a better keeper.

Shaw is injury prone
Walker is ageing
Maguire is error prone
Stones is decent but need better


Then we have Guehi and Branthwaite that have the potential to be England regulars.
Chillwell not good enough
Trent is brilliant going forward not so good at defending.
Trippier not good enough
Gomez injury prone and not good enough
Mings decent
Tomori decent



The midfield is filled with talent

Rice, Foden, Gallagher, Mainoo, Maddison, Eze and Gordon but you know Southgate will turn to Henderson.

Forwards of Kane, Toney, Saka, Grealish, Rashford(who I wouldn't take) and possibly Sancho.

I just think the defence will be our Achilles Heel.

Bellingham & Foden
are they the new Gerrard & Lampard?

I think the midfield will be key and if Southgate can get those two ticking on the same side.. mega!

erimus74

Not keen on international football, friendlies, or internationals but looking at the players Southgate has to pick from the semi finals must be the least England can achieve. Is this the year England can place their name next to our 1966 winners!

I dont think we'll have a better chance of winning our first major trophy for 58 years

Looking forward to Champiobship kicking off more than the euros

Exactly.

Can't see us winning it. You have to have a philosophy of looking to win not looking to avoid defeat.

Have we got enough of that magic to turn on against the best in Europe?
