B4ev6is Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well I think maybe England best chance to win the whole damn thing we have very very very talented national team now and with england winning first game let's get past group stages first and take it from there.

Rammy03 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Really good start, something to build on. This team has gears to go to. It's important we don't peak too early. Tournaments are all about momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think we have got a good chance this year and for the next ten if we can find a replacement for Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 If we kick into gear going forwards we have a chance of scoring enough goals. Worried about our defence once we start coming up against better teams however. Depending on the draw, if we remain at Wembley and get past a potential difficult second round opponent my optimism will start to increase ?

Gone Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Absolutely we can win it, we have a squad full of attacking talent. To win it though we need some luck, that’ll be the difference between us, France and Italy, just luck we’re all good enough to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 They have a chance. Doesn't mean they will, doesn't even mean it's likely, but, they looked a competent team at this level today and that's the basis for going forward. Until Friday, obvs. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 From all of the tournament play I've seen down the years, the factors that seem to be important are... - a game plan that isn't based on charging around the pitch at top speed for 90 mins - rotating the squad to keep fitness and freshness up - an attitude of never feeling beaten if you go behind - excellence in penalty shootouts as you're likely to face one at least if you go a long way cstand and Dimmu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The defence isn’t good enough unfortunately, but I think we can go quite deep into it if we play to our strengths. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm banking on quarters. Semi final would be great. Yes we could win but realistically there's better teams out there atm. This is one of the youngest most attacking teams for ages though with the likes of Foden, Mount, Bellingham, Sancho and Grealish so I'm looking over the next 2-4 years for big things. As always it's our defence that worries me, especially CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd actually be better off coming second, so we don't have to play the runner up in the group of death. I think we will win the group, but its going to take something special to beat the likes of France or Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The team is decent, but imo lacks the variety of the best and that ability to suddenly switch the pace of the game. The best sides seem to be able to be at walking pace for a bit before suddenly springing forward with great pace, technique and accuracy. As I think it was eithet@RoyMac5 or @Carl Sagannoted in another thread, when we tried to vary things, our attempts to do so looked a bit uncoordinated.

Angry Ram Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 We can win, so could 5 or 6 others. IF we pick the best we have, we will do okay. Will Southgate do that? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is very decent particularly in forward positions, not too bad in defence, especially if Maguire gets fit soonest. But I just cannot see Southgate picking a team to do anything like play to the potential of the best players. Rice and Phillips? Walker? Trippier on the left? Why does Kane seem to play as a false no.9? Pickford looked poor in his distribution and a bit uncertain at times. Where was Grealish? Bellingham looks worth more time than he's got so far. Etc... so will the manager get the best out of a good squad or will the squad be held back by the manager's inadequacies - compare and contrast the U23s and Boothroyd.
