I genuinely don't understand how the English media never learn
Replace media with English people
It’s generally more true than ever though all the other giants around Europe are weaker than they have been the last 20 years. Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Spain are all so much weaker than they have been in the past and even France aren’t as good as they have been. If england get knocked out by anyone else other than France it’s a failure. Being totally honest England’s squad is better than even Frances. I think they would have mbappe, saliba and Theo start for us and thats it.
If things went the way he said.. He’d have never lost millions in gambling.
Like he did then hahahah
Harsh but true

Portugal, Belgium, Croatia, France will all be coming in hard ! Stay humble, England !

It's been about 30 international tournaments since England won anything. 0-30. Very optimistic. And we'll hear the same thing in 2026 about the World Cup.

You'll win the big trophies eventually the big money is now in England with the premiership ..
Money means England can invest in its youth .. bearing fruit now too
Glad I read this because I was going to post the exact same thing.

@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282I'd say Dembele/Coman are better than Saka.
Mad people underrating France so much, they have the best player at the tournament, their defence is very solid with about 5 center backs who would play for England, a midfield that includes Kante who plays the role that England are missing even if he is playing in Saudi with Camavinga able to play if he can't who would also play in the england team.
Go back to sleep
They Will Win This Time
No way he’s just said only 2 French players get into our team lol, Griezmann would easily start at LW, Mbappe EASILY gets in at RW, Tchouaméni would easily be our 3rd maybe even 2nd best midfielder over Rice (maybe), Theo Hernandez at LB, Saliba and Konate are far better than any CB’s we have except Stones and maybe Tomori who dosent even get picked anyway and Maignan in over Pickford
Mbappe gets in at LW, but that aside England have the better attacking options. Southgate just needs to get the balance right in time for the summer
Griezman, Mbappe, Tchoumeni, Saliba, Hernandez you'd imagine get in. Everything else is debateable if not England's advantage so 5-6 that's about right for the 2 favourites

It never ceases to amaze me how these football experts, who have played the game and worked in the game for so many years, who have seen and done it all, will before every tournament proclaim that England will win, despite 58 years of failing to do so.
The arrogance would be unbelievable but this happens every single tournament. Beckham, Scholes, Lampard, Beckham, Rooney... "Gonna win everything"
Now its, "Foden, Jude, Saka, Rice! Gonna win everything!"
Anthony Gordon should be in with a shout. If you play well at club level, you deserve a chance at international level !
As a German, i am a little surprised about the way the gentleman at the start creates expectations. Germany never went into a tournament with the attitude we must be champions! A tournament like the Euros is very difficult and you certainly don‘t win because you have two or three exceptional players at club level.
For England, it would be nice to finally win something, but this will allways remain a team effort
Merson said France have 2 players that would get in England team i think its a few more than that
Not sure what he is smoking. Not one of our defenders would get in French team. Midfield and upfront is a toss up. We are not superior to France we definitely need to chill.
Maignan, mbappe, dembele, saliba, Konate, kounde, upamecano, Theo hernandez to name a few
@@moa8247Walker would he’s the only one.
With a combined XI we'd have the entire French back line including the goalkeeper bar probably Walker... Outside of the defence Mbappe & Griezmann would walk into the squad, the rest would be England players, so 6/11, Merson is just a really bad pundit.
@@fraserhuntly7296dembele over who??? He ain’t better than Saka or Foden

I’m sorry but England’s team is good and all but just look at the talent in the French team. Their defence alone is twice as good as ours.
We dont see the french players often, literally every competition they bring in new players but at the moment England has some great players but France have some players who can win this championship.
France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Italy ....they will be there playing

Its normal for England to not win an International tournament. Wouldn't be a shock at all. Merson wont let reality get in his way.
He should be shocked if Rashford and Kalvin Phillips go ahead of Bowen and Loftus-Cheek

@leehaslam5751 bro he is having a good season
every tournament it's the same speech but yet England NEVER EVER do anything in these international competitions.. so why would it be any different now lool 😂😂🙄🤦🏾♂️
Southgate will probably recall Mason Mount after a few decent games for Man U and play the following team full of experience and solidity.
Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Trippier
Henderson
Rice Mount
Saka Kane Rashford 😂
someone earlier today said the midfield would be Henderson, Phillips and David Batty 😂
England have world class players, but guess what. SO DO OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!!!
We are one of a few teams with world class players, so this hype and entitlement that we should win automatically is RIDICULOUS! 🤡🤦♂️
I think their only issue is with the holding midfield position, there is no decent backup option for Rice nor someone to partner him if Bellingham is given the free roaming role like in Madrid. Maybe if they can find a good partner for Maguire in Guehi or Branthwait, they can push Stones higher to the midfield.
Well that’s put the death knell on it. 🤔
Merson with his amnesia of how England played and lost in the last 3 tournaments v Croatia, Italy and France.
Remember peeps England’s senior mens team have never reached a final of a major international tournament held overseas before. Did we see much in those last 3 tournaments when we lost (6/7 of the matches were held at Wembley in last Euros) to make you think it’ll be any different?
Everyone says the defence s weak. It's not, just pick the best defenders and be more modern in the tactical approach to the game
Yeah put White,Stones and Walker as a basis(can't settle on Shaw at LB)and with Rice,Bellingham and Foden in that midfield,you actually have a good solid structure and support for Saka,Kane and Watkins
our CBs are snails
Not if Gareth "we will learn from that" Southgate is coach
We're winning nothing with Southgate in charge picking Maguire, Henderson and Phillips. The starting XI needs to be: Pickford, Walker, Dunk, Colwill, Chilwell, Stones and Rice as the two 6's, Foden, Jude and Saka supporting Kane. The France-England combined XI take is embarrassing. The only English players who get in the French team are Walker, Foden, Jude and Kane!
i got every confidence in the players, but no confidence in Southgate's ability as a manager at this level. 3 times he has been found out, in 3 crucial games, Croatia semis, italy final, and France. i do like southgate but not managing maybe get an assistant with him to help in those in game moments when under pressure two heads better than one sometimes.
1 game on penalties and the other 2 by one goal hardly like we get destroyed
@@jacob4690 we don't get destroyed except the Hungary game. but we get out tactics, and beat. when we should of won.
@@tonyrichardson2637 we lost a penalty shootout and Kane missed a penalty that isn’t tactics
@@tonyrichardson2637weren’t out tactic against France. In fact, for large parts of that game England were tactically on top. Kane missed a pen. Croatia had a better midfield and for all their ball possession, Italy only equalised with a scrappy goal and won on pens.
Do you not think Southgate has learned from these losses? I think he has. No other England manager in my lifetime has got players wanting to play every game for England
These journalists need to learn to be more humble. England has an awesome team and they are favourites to win, but we´ve seen this approach before. It´s incredible they don´t seem to learn anything from past events
This is the problem. Everyone always says we need the ‘two sitting players.’ Why do we need two! Let’s play to our strengths and play our attacking players. We always try to focus on quelling our opponents rather than focusing on our own strengths. Let’s try and outplay the best teams for once rather than just survive.
Teams that win tournaments nowadays tend to be solid with a platform for their best players to produce game-winning moments, not swashbuckling.
@@sthill1993 The problem is when you play your attacking players...you're always gonna leave yourselves susceptible to the counter-attack....and France are the best team in International/World football to play offensive/defensive counter-attacking football........they let you have possession....lull you into a false sense of security....than bang.
Sorry....that comment was to @SamBendsHollings
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282
Yes, France have the players - on paper - to swan to victory in most games in rip-roaring fashion. Do they actually? No. They can be surprisingly boring to watch at times... but that's why they are so consistently good at reaching the latter stages of tournaments. And also why they have their share of underwhelming results (though usually in games with less damaging consequences).
Their gameplan has been to be solid, then give Griezmann, Mbappé and Giroud in particular the space to do their thing. It works a lot of the time, even when it doesn't they are still difficult to beat in knockout games.
Gordon is in good form
Its amazing to think of the depth we have. Its amazing to think that even talented players like Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Ruben Loftus Cheek, Marcus Edwards, Fiyako Tomori, Angel Gomes, Curtis Jones and Jarrod Bowen probably wont even make the squad. England have so much strength in depth compared to previous tournaments. We could have even had Jamal Musiala in that squad, imagine a starting 11 with Musiala, Kane, Bellingham and Foden!
Typical arrogance knowing very well France are favourites and for very good reason. England as always have some good individuals but not a team.
Last Euro they had the biggest chance to win at home. But with Southgate in charge you know, as soon as England will face with a team in his level, they fail. Because that is the time the role of the manager becomes critical. They lost both to Italy and France in last tournaments, because those teams had better managers.
England have a shot. Best we've seen from talent in a while. They usually struggle to control games because their squad consists of players that don't run the show at their clubs. The foreign players of Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and City generally make the teams go. This squad is finally different. Leaders and quality role. Their style isn't good enough to call them heavy favorites, but I can see them doing it with players like Foden, Saka, Bellingham and Kane who are so instrumental to the beautiful football their clubs play
Here's my starting 11 for England in the Euros given everyone is fit and available:
Kane
Foden Saka
Bellingam
Rice Trent
Shaw Walker
Tomori Stones
Pickford
Merson : how do we not win the Euros?
SouthGate: Me… 😁
Beer: Hold my Southgate
England don’t need 2 defensive midfielders. I hate this opinion. Rice can protect the defence we must prioritise fitting in our attacking talent because they are so good. We’re still too cautious and scared to lose. We need to start going into every game against the top teams to win.
Any other manager would've won a world cup and 2 euros with that quality in england squad , but southgate with 6 right backs and hendo phillips magwaya !!! No way
you are deluded
Why dont just admit that other countries have better squad?
Incredible how english media always bottle it for england 😂 please put more pressure on them, its a good thing for the rest of us here in europe 😂😂
France would get 2 players in our team!?!??! Deluded!!!!
Got the squad but not the manager.
Southgate has his way of playing but surely he can trust his players and adapt to their strengths. A problem for him now is that Rice hasn’t been playing as a traditional 6 lately and is more an 8 especially alongside Jorginho. I would go Walker, Stones, Maguire, Colwill, Rice, Jude, Trent, Foden, Kane, Saka. Plenty of firepower while Saka amd Foden work hard off the ball to make it work. As good as Kane is I personally think we’d be better with Watkins for that front three and Bellingham as it would open up more space for them from his running
Its not about having the best players, its about having the best team. Some nations have a team that work as a unit in defence and attack. I cant say that about England.
Sheer arrogance only the English could believe their own rubbish. Better tell every other team not to bother turning ing up. Guys a knob
This is exactly how the English media hypes up their fans creating a toxic environment for the players. No team ever wins just by talent, chemistry, playing style and opponents all play a major role. Management is extremely key especially with a talented squad, you can’t get in the way of a strong team by having them play conservatively , but it’s England, they messed a generation with Terry, Rio, A.Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes, Rooney etc, for them everything can and it usually goes wrong 😂.
Always such a one dimensional conversation. England aren’t winning it
I think what journalists and media tend to forget is that it's more than just having talented players. It's about having a team with a never say die attitude, a team of brothers/family with a warrior spirit. England squads of recent times have always been filled with individual egos & prima donnas and this has cost them dearly.
Southgates system = under 13's football.
Really confused as to why these pundits reporters alike never talk about what GS's system actually is, as in we all know he has one, but what does it actually consist of?
For me, all I see in our system is the fact every single player in our England team would have played this rigid, position based linier SYSTEM when they were playing under 13's football.
As a team we have big boy ballers playing for big boy clubs under big boy managers.
Fact is, how easy would it be to allow our footballers to express them selves with in the same 'system' employed by the clubs? I think it's clear to see, Southgate doesn't have the foggiest on how to allow our players to perform to the best of their abilities. He can drive a Ford focus to Asda, but can't even start the engine on a f1 car...fortunately or maybe unfortunately we have a team full of f1 highly tuned over engineered by their managers race cars. Sad times ahead 😪
Foden Kane Saka
Bellingham

Simples.
Kalvin Phillips should be no where near the plane this summer.
Swapped ward prowse out for Mainoo. He’s a work horse. Ward should still be on the plane though, no doubt.

As a patriotic England fan love to win a tournament but under Southgate it will never happen. Blew our big chance v Italy at our stadium. He will pick his old favourites who at past their best then under play our best players. Hope I’m wrong 🙏
We have yet to beat a really good side when it matters because Southgate is to limited a manager and nobody is brave enough to say what they really think.

@@NyaCroft Germany have crashed out early in the last 3 or 4 tournaments being bang average, and Denmark are pretty solid but are not “really good” just decent

Sure thing jock.
The team is very good, on paper. GK - Ramsdale, CBs - Stones and Tomori, RB - Reece, LB - Chilwell, CMs - Rice and Palmer, CAM - Bellingham, LW - Foden, ST - Kane, RW - Saka. Bench: Rashford, Sterling, Wilson, Walker, Trent, Trippier, Shaw, Maguire, Pickford. The best national team on paper, only France comes close.
It's Bellingham & Kane that are the real difference makers. They're the best footballers in that squad. If they are fully firing we have an incredible chance of winning.
Southgate will make jude,Phil and saka look average, calm down
These dudes underestimate other nations look the likes of France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Belgium..... They can upset England any day.
4.3.3 Bellingam, Rice, Mainoo with kane saka and foden in front of them.
Back 4 is a struggle in my opinion, definitely Stones and Reece James. But the other 2 is a struggle.
Reece James has barely played. Walker and Tripper are ready to go.
I'm Irish. While I wish England well in Euro '24.......how about even just waiting until the end of the PL season/C.L., etc and seeing who is injured, or has a niggling issue, before saying what the team's chances are.

Play rice and Bellingham as the 2. In the easier games Bellingham goes where he wants and rice sits, play folden as.the 10 . Saka right, and left is up for grabs.
If you play a front 3 and Jude as a 10 then they need to drop off and be a 4231 off the ball... Or you play 433 with Jude as an 8 that's given license to go. If we don't look like we control games and create chances, the management and coaching staff are inept. I do think being defensively solid and good at set pieces is critical in international football, but there has to be a bit more finesse and guile in open play.
England finally have some fantastic players, but then again we have Southgate. Imagine we had someone like Klopp or Pep...
I don't think Pep would win with this England squad. His management style relies on players with specific skillsets, and he needs time to mould them into a winning team, time an international manager doesn't have.
