      It’s generally more true than ever though all the other giants around Europe are weaker than they have been the last 20 years. Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Spain are all so much weaker than they have been in the past and even France aren’t as good as they have been. If england get knocked out by anyone else other than France it’s a failure. Being totally honest England’s squad is better than even Frances. I think they would have mbappe, saliba and Theo start for us and thats it.

The starting XI needs to be: Pickford, Walker, Dunk, Colwill, Chilwell, Stones and Rice as the two 6's, Foden, Jude and Saka supporting Kane. The France-England combined XI take is embarrassing. The only English players who get in the French team are Walker, Foden, Jude and Kane!

    Southgates system = under 13's football.
    Really confused as to why these pundits reporters alike never talk about what GS's system actually is, as in we all know he has one, but what does it actually consist of?
    For me, all I see in our system is the fact every single player in our England team would have played this rigid, position based linier SYSTEM when they were playing under 13's football.
    As a team we have big boy ballers playing for big boy clubs under big boy managers.
    Fact is, how easy would it be to allow our footballers to express them selves with in the same 'system' employed by the clubs? I think it's clear to see, Southgate doesn't have the foggiest on how to allow our players to perform to the best of their abilities. He can drive a Ford focus to Asda, but can't even start the engine on a f1 car...fortunately or maybe unfortunately we have a team full of f1 highly tuned over engineered by their managers race cars.

      Yes, France have the players - on paper - to swan to victory in most games in rip-roaring fashion. Do they actually? No. They can be surprisingly boring to watch at times... but that's why they are so consistently good at reaching the latter stages of tournaments. And also why they have their share of underwhelming results (though usually in games with less damaging consequences).
      Their gameplan has been to be solid, then give Griezmann, Mbappé and Giroud in particular the space to do their thing. It works a lot of the time, even when it doesn't they are still difficult to beat in knockout games.
