England - Champions of the home nations

[Yank]

I’d leave off the bunting until after the Germany game tbh

Wouldn’t shock me if England also get leathered

As someone who will be rooting for Germany. I don't expect it to go well for the Germans. They should have fired Low after 18. Team stinks.

I really don't see it like this. They're entirely too open to counters but that's really the only major problem for me.

Who do you trust up front? Kroos and Muller are up there in age, they need to be supporting cast guys. Werner, Havertz who I thought was going to be the guy, Gnabry, Sane none of them have shown it at this point. They just look bland going forward unless they've got space to send Werner, Sane, and Gnabry into behind imo.

I'm buying Havertz stock and Thomas Muller is still great. I'd not sign him for a club side but age isn't so important in an international tournament. They've had no trouble creating chances.

I didn't watch the Hungary game I just no the scoreline. From what I saw they had 1 game with plenty of chances and another against France with a good amount of possession but not a ton of great opportunities.

We can agree to disagree. How far do you think that team should go? I honestly think this is the round I had them going our beforehand.

I don't really think too much of Portugal either at the moment.

I can understand people wanting England to lose, of course. But a leathering wouldn’t be a shock?

Not only have Germany been poor, but England have conceded 5 goals in their last 20 matches. They have 15 clean sheets from those games, too.

Odds are it’s going to be a low-scoring game, and probably not one for the neutrals.

I think they can win the tournament but at least the semis would be my guess.

This will be a test of England’s defence. Could concede a hatful potentially.

You do realise you’re talking to someone who has incessantly championed Low for the Everton job every single time we’ve had a manager sacking for the past 5 years?

 

[Zezti]

Yep.

What a fantastic call.

What a fantastic call.

They done well there

Got lucky at 1-0 though with that Muller miss

Picko did well to put him off

Of course if England don't make the final now it's one of the all-time tournament bottle jobs...

It's coming home. We all know it.

NOLU. Love it.

Must be Teams that start with an E that suffer with this stigma.
