Fack sake Rio, he didnt say anything about getting a contract out and letting Gareth put any number he wants on it n signing it did he?
I wouldn't say nobody can compete with England by any means. Looking at last night, both Spain and Italy can do and I don't doubt Denmark will be a tough game tonight but I think we have enough to get past them. I personally don't it's arrogant to say that you should be beating somebody you're better than, which isn't a disrespect to Denmark, I think it's just true.
It's good to be confident though at this point of course, but let's not go over the top.
As far as im aware Gareth keeps em grounded, didnt he say they’d be mugs if they didnt respect Ukraine. I don’t think theres any big egos in that squad either tbf.
After the huge shocker of a "journalist asks stupid question" article below, i'm not sure we are collectively ready for a "pundit says something dumb" thread.

Even the other pundits half laughed when he said that. Imo, England are good, but they aint that good. A lot of domestic sides are better not to mention France, Belgium and Portugal never got to face them.

So what do you determine as a good team then? Someone who has to beat all the "top sides" and reach the latter stages?
This is Rio who demanded United should make Ole the United manager.

If the players are to be believed, it’s one of his biggest strengths: keeping their feet firmly on the ground whilst instilling confidence in their collective abilities.
Southgate is a very intelligent, extremely level-headed guy who is a student of and passionate believer in sports psychology. I wouldn’t worry about the England players in this respect; not a bit.
I would like to see it is as an attempt to give the English players a come on you can do it
psychology plays a big role in a lot of sport. Does it help for an ex captain to be saying that no one can compete with you? Maybe. But I question the forum he has used to express his opinions
as an aside, I remember souness creaming himself over the germans when germany played portugal (i think). One of the cringest punditry I have seen.

What has he won in nearly 3 years?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The nearly three years makes it sound worse than two seasons doesn't it. And apart from Pep and Jurgen who has. In fact Pep is hoovering up most of the English trophies
A lot of people, media especially, are guilty of creating this hyperbolic atmosphere that England are this and that. We've been there and worn the tee shirt with England disappointing when they were expected to deliver.
Rather than saying no one can live with this team, how about we take one game at a time. Pretending we are winners before we actually win the damn thing will lead to egg on our faces.
We need to treat Denmark with the same respect as we did Germany and earn the win. Let's hope it's a good game and we progress!

Which would be fine if you didn't keep losing in semi's and finals to teams you should be beating with ease.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't Jurgen have the same issue for.a while?
And it's heading the right way, losing Semi's first and then a final.

Selective scouse memory alert 52.
Rio is one of my favorite sports personalities
but his comment highlights the issue I have wih pundits. They use hyberboles too much for my liking. I imagine a lot of them do it because that is just what the media is like
on this occassion I truly believe Rio is saying in front of cameras what he would say to the team in the dressing room if he had a chance to do so.
