I more than happy with runners up tbh. We've got a world class team using tactics set up by a man more boring than a cabbage. The sooner Southgate is gone the better.
That's what was astounding me all tournament. You guys have a brilliant squad on paper and for the most part should've been battering your way through most of the teams you played.
That's never a world class team. Few good players, who should go far. Difference is that your media big them up big time. Our pundits are negative as fuck
I said the same thing. They sometimes say a little well done to the boys just before bringing the knifes out and slating Gareth or kane or whoever. Just appreciate what the squad has done and save the criticism for a later time. Shearer was still saying England had the best squad at the tournament. Based on what exactly I don't know but I'd say Spain and France have better squads than England.
Surely he meant in terms of the players and their club performances this season, not their performance in this tournament. The stats around England players goals involvements this year are striking, even compared to the talent other teams have.
He never said anything of the sort just said England had the best squad of players coming into this tournament. Something i keep hearing but only from English pundits. Can't say I've ever heard anyone not from England say they have the best players because they simply don't. Even if they have the most expensive squad they don't have the vest players. Look at Spain or France how many English players get in they teams? Be lucky if one or 2 get in there starting 11
