I don't want to piss on anyone chips because I'm not invested in England at international level. But I smile at the inane talking up of the side I hear from fans. They are blind to the very obvious flaws they tell you they can win this or that whilst elevating people like Leiws Dunk and Harry Maguire to 'soild defensive options. It's willfully over optimistic.
The centerbacks are weak, with the exception of Stones, the left back reliance on Shaw a huge issue because Chilwell is average. Pickford is average , Saka Walker Bellingham Rice are class the step from Kane to every other centre forward option is like the drop from the Bristol suspension bridge. Then there's the huge issue of the coach and his deputy. They will as you say be beaten by the first top notch team they play most likely in a quarter finals
This is the same shit you could say about any national side. The national team game is never about eleven perfect players ffs. It just doesn’t happen. Even France have some mediocre to poor players knocking about.
Name me a team that puts up a better group of attackers. Or who have a superstar like Bellingham with some really quality midfielders round him.
Who cares about the drop? Kane will be fit for the Euros. Watkins is a better back-up striker than almost any other country have.
Go look at every other XI that other nations put up and tell me you can’t pick out similar weaknesses. We’ve got INSANE attacking strength and good quality elsewhere. Lean on it. Foden, Bellingham, Kane, Saka. Nuts. Crazy good.
