I'm sorry but you must be very mistaken to think that teams play attacking football as international.
Since when do you need 11 World Class players to win a tournament?
What? Pogba, Griezmann, Benzema, Varane, Parvard, Lemar are better players than any of those England players you mentioned like Rice, Maguire, Henderson, Rashford, Sancho etc.
What? No teams play attacking football at international level? Is that what you just said?
What?
It's people like you that overrate the English players so they end up with the whole English tax and always underperform.
It's people like you who overrate English players so they always end up underperforming and come with the whole bullshit English tax. You can post all the stats you want but Pogba, Griezmann, Varane, Lemar have all performed on a much higher level for their national team than those players you mentioned. If you follow our match day threads closely, you can see many of us are disappointed with Rashford's finishing and his goals output doesn't reflect his quality as a great player.
Probably not, but we don't know. We have only ever played two defensive mids so we don't know what we are like with one. The time to find that out would have been the group stage, or even better the qualifiers or friendlies beforehand. But we didn't so we don't know and will have to line up this way even if we are awful doing it.
How is Southgate the same as a manager that made United the 2nd best in the Premiere League last season?
Southgate wouldn't have done much worse with the amount of funds available.
I'll never get this from football fans. Why does Grealish have to be shite so that Mount can be good? They are both high quality attacking options we are lucky to have both. Different types of player and I'd personally like to see both of them playing. If you can't see what Grealish offers I can't really help you. He creates so much space for his teammates.
T'other way round, it's Southgate that's the problem and, unfortunately, it's a big one.
What a stupid post, there's no way in Hell Southgate would have got second place with United. Are you forgetting his time at Middlesbrough?
Oh, please!
There isn’t a problem at all & if there was it certainly wouldn’t be Southgate.
What makes you think Ole is better than Southgate? Ole himself got relegated with Cardiff.
Ole is also a racist, sexist pig who thrives off of watching children starve.
He is just a bang average manager.
We played some good stuff under hoddle. We also had some excellent players but it looked like he was building something good…….. and then he went off the deep end
If you truly believe France have only 2 'world class' players. Then everyone else must have 0 in their team. Your definition is way off
People like me overrate English players, or people like you who always want to be negative?
How many do they have then?
Mbappe, Benzema, Kante and Griezmann are all world class.
So its not the whole squad like the poster was suggesting.
Oh feck off with this BS. Some people would do anything to get their jibes at Ole. Totally different managers in different situations. Southgate has the pick of English talent at his disposal for 6 games in a tournament.
Not sure what’s going on with Kane, has he peaked, distracted by club matters or simply injured? Doesn’t look the same player to me.
I agree. England have a favourable draw to the final, although they had that at the world cup too.
There is no part of my post which is negative. Don't try to twist my words. I'm just refuting your point that England has world-class players which they clearly don't. Players like Rashford, Rice, Sancho, Maguire etc are not world-class. You are overrating them and typically like the English media. You are extremely deluded if you think England has world-class players and better players than Germany or France.
That's a bit hypocritical coming from you about twisting words, can you show me where I said England has world class players? If you cannot find it, stop twisting my words.
The second most expensive squad in the league with the second highest wage bill overachieving and finishing second. Incredible stuff
Germany can and will raise their game to a new level against England. History tells us that we will probably go missing and go out with a whimper - this is what I fully expect to happen. The gulf in class is not huge but in terms of mentality they are miles ahead.
