The multi of a multi of a multi

Should top that group let’s be honest...

Its England mate, anything can happen.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I’ve got a ticket for the England Scotland game. Should be fun

 

[Vic Vinegar]

Come on Croatia

 

[duncs pigeon]

Come on Croatia

World Cup finalists, should beat a team who fluked themselves to a semi final.

If Scotland can weasel a victory against Czech, they have a great chance of going through.

1 point from their remaining two, will be enough, and could end up having a R16 at Hampden which would be brilliant.
England Vs. Scotland on a Friday night at 8pm... what could possibly go wrong?

Croatia is going to be the toughest of the 3 games, the World Cup semi is still fresh in the memory for England while Croatia’s last two visits to Wembley saw them drubbed 5-1 in the 2010 WC qualifiers and beaten by a last minute Harry Kane goal in the Nation’s League

For me, Croatia at just ageing a little too much now, well the key players.

Mandžukic retired, Modric, Perisic, Vida, Lovren well into their 30s.

Will still be the biggest hurdle though, by far.

Especially if England start badly against Croatia which could quite easily happen. Not an easy group at all for England

Modric still very good. Wish England had a player of his quality.

A midfield of Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic is better than any midfield England could put out IMO

Technically yes, agree mate. Mount and Foden going forward are very good but don’t have the nous of the Croats just yet.

 

[barneygumble]

Modric still very good. Wish England had a player of his quality.

They do though.
They’ve genuinely got so much quality in this squad, it’s it’s never going to go well whilst Gareth Southgate is charge.

Any other nation with Kane, Foden, Mount, Saka, Grealish, Henderson (purely for leadership purposes), Rashford, Bellingham and Rashford in, should walk a major tournament.

But they’ll 1000% struggle.

I am actually looking forward to this. Normally can't stand internationals but with not really enjoying watching a game of football since Christmas it will be nice watching a tournament were your not invested and continually frustrated by one really annoying team and instead can try and enjoy watching several.

England - Meh! Meh! Meh!. Let the overhype begin
