England will do fuck all as per usual. Aside from commenting on minor points like RLC being included, I can’t be fucked analysing the strengths and weaknesses of the squad because it’s pointless. We’ve had plenty of talent in the past who should have put fear into opponents, and it’s all gone to shit every time. This time will be just the same, because we are inherently shit.
I’m far more excited by shit like the prospect of Spain vs Portugal on a Friday night after work
I was thinking about this just the other day. How you guys in the period of maybe 2002 - 2008 or w/e (might be off on some details) not exactly sure but something like that, could build a defensive line from the likes of Sol, Neville, Ferdinand, Cole, Terry, Carra etc, a midfield from the likes of Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard etc. and still managed to get knocked out in the QF’s or similar tournament in and out.
So I thought… maybe this is the time you guys actually make it. A bunch of bottling Tottenham players fronted by Welbinho and you guys go and win the whole thing lol
compare this England squad to the french and its absolutely shocking. I even rates Denmarks chances at winning the WC higher than this SPuds light team.
I have no complaints about who missed out. It’s a shame Lallana hasn’t been playing because he normally raises his game for England.
We’re always shit at football and have ended up bottling it whenever we play someone good so we might as well just play a way that gives the fullbacks freedom and hope they can combine with the attackers. Boring as fuck will do nicely.
Our defence is questionable and we have no creativity in midfield. We are going to struggle against anyone who parks the bus and anyone who can play good football
