The best lineup for England is this one 👇
433
PICKFORD
TRENT WALKER STONES SHAW
RICE
BELLINGHAM FODEN
SAKA PALMER
KANE

[@AshBashSneakers]

Trent can’t defend and Saka is awful

[@aaroneudell4388]

I agree, many can switch positions in that setup and TAA can step up alongside Rice.

[@aaroneudell4388]

I'm calling Southgate now, his best 11 is obviously as follows!
-------------- Pickford --------------
TAA Walker Stones Gomez
--------- Rice - Bellingham ---
-- Saka -- Palmer -- Foden --
---------------- Kane ----------------
Trent to be inverted, leaving Walker on the right of a three.

[@nenadivetic6470]

This is gonna be fun , let’s go 💪🏼🇷🇸

[@Rigg96]

The problem of Jude being a box to box is not only moving Jude back, but also that’s making Rice just sit, limiting the both of them. You can start foden on the left & Jude in the 10 and then they can alternate, with Jude drifting out wide and foden drifting centrally.

Even though I'm confident England won't win Euro 2024, I still expect them to easily beat Serbia. Serbia are simply not a good team at all. They were poor in qualifying and their two best players are currently in the Saudi Pro League.

[@FreeEagle-zh7js]

Remember, even Iceland was able to beat England.. If I was like you, I would expect the worst and hope for the best..

[@lacman6159]

They have an amazing squad that always underperform at tournaments they’ll probably win this game

[@BohemianRaichu]

I've seen england try to play all the attacking players in similar positions at once, I want balance.

[@donragnar8430]

Stretching the behind?

[@nitomeistertv]

So if England doesn’t go through, they’re unlucky?

[@DiCimatti]

Here we go again 🤦🏻 Tournament Virgins - yet somehow favorites 😂

[@TheDYNAMITE001]

It's an EASY group, period. Other top teams would be moving mountains to be in such a group

[@sirprintalot]

Portugal wouldn’t. Italy and Spain would.

[@TheDYNAMITE001]

@@sirprintalot yea I'll say only Portugal have an easier group

[@wrfootball3847]

Which essentially makes it a more slippery ordeal. In a riddled way easy in tournaments is actually difficult because complacency sets in. Argentina losing to Saudi. Look at morocoo last WC. I would love to have faced Saudi or Moroco but these kind of teams can be all the more dangerous for it

[@TheDYNAMITE001]

@@wrfootball3847 fair point

[@e̵̊rt̀y̧̐ũ̵ị̆o̸w̌e̵̊rt̀y̧̐ũ̵]

Mainoo is better than the British Doucoure who plays in Spain

[@michaelburgess7242]

No he’s not.

[@Michael-cb5nm]

Serbia 2 England 1.

[@chuak.c7349]

No,wrong. Serbia 3 England 1

[@Michael-cb5nm]

@@chuak.c7349 Of course, England could win 4-0. But something about this team is shaky…so yeah a Serbia victory is not surprising.

[@nenadivetic6470]

It’s for sure 50/50 England being slight favorite . I’m expecting close game.

[@wiskasIO]

Not winning anything since 1966, every 2 years.
Nobody:
English fans/media: We're favourites alright. 🤣

[@thomism1016]

Blah, blah, blah, blah 😡😡😡😡😡

[@AnthonyMendy-ok3vk]

You must be dreaming about 9 points mark my word they’ll drew the first game lose to Denmark and drew the last game

[@bluesEvanskro]

England will top the group comfortably with at least 7 points mark my words

[@chuak.c7349]

And going home.

[@leeleung7649]

so how racist are the england fans going to be against their own players this time? The last world cup was disappointingly shocking...

[@Sain133no]

England are favorites to win the Euros just like how Arsenal were favorites to win the premier league! Make of that what you want

[@thomism1016]

When haven’t England been favourites for every tournament since 1966? 🤔😡☹️😱😤

[@stefansavic1579]

😂😂😂😂 It makes me laugh, every tournament England is favourite. It wouldnt suprise me if they end up 3rd. England 9pts😂😂😂😂😂

[@wrfootball3847]

Not officially no. This is the first they are Official favourites as I understand it

[@Phat88Tony]

England always choke

[@chd1694]

Tell the euros 2024 trophy 🏆 etcher that its spelled KANE and not CAIN

[@nikolalegend4868]

England is winning coming from a Serbian

[@Joker88-em8xf]

France Portugal and Germany are the main favorites , England will exit in the first phase.

[@MrKaravaj]

I get its on Germany home arena but how are they and Portugal above England? England been better last 3 tournaments and I still think they have the uper hand after France

[@AndrewHindley]

All four of those teams I predict will be the final 4

[@FreeEagle-zh7js]

I can guarantee you that England won't survive in their group.. This is England we are talking about, always have the talents, but don't know what to do with them.. Might as well the young talents migrate and play for a different nation.. I'd take Mainoo to become a part of the German squad.. Saka could migrate to France, i mean, he's not even appreciated by his own people for the extraordinary talent he is.. Basically, they are just wasting their talents playing for England, especially when Southgate is their leader.. I'm so delighted that Musiala chose us over England, and it was for his own good also..

[@bluesEvanskro]

England will top the group comfortably with at least 7 points mark my words

[@Antonio-hb8rd]

Germans should avoid football conversations, their takes are always out of touch.

[@Alexander-fc9lw]

Piping up after beating Scotland 🤣🤣

[@dudleycoolful]

Always an arrogant self righteous comment from a German somewhere in the comments

[@chuak.c7349]

England got no talent actually. They are all technically poor. Spain is the team with best ball control.
