As a Welshman I do want to see England finally win a tournament so good luck.

I'm not sure of what England's possible route in terms of their potential opponents is but I'm going to guess they'll get knocked out by Germany if England can potentially face them

Scotland maybe schitt, we're just happy to be there

As for England I can't disagree, other than your defence which could be got at by teams who aren't as good offensively I think you can outscore the other teams so IF Gareth can keep it tight by his set up and as long as that set up doesn't stop you attacking in a way your are able to do then yes, you defo could win it

So...........France then.

The New Golden Generation?

How old is Walker now?

I'd be happier if Mikey VDV and Romero were English.
Also, Kane is injured.

typical English nonsense

England are stacked in certain areas...definitely not all over the pitch

Walker’s still got it, probably the last tourney when he’ll be first choice though

I fancy Germany to win it

Who has a better squad at the Euros?

Great squad, poor manager 👍

That’s where we will lose it

Better? not any that I can see but back to front France aren't far off and Germany being at home with some good players as well will certainly compete but a couple of perhaps probable defensive issues England have the players who could do it, depends on form at the time and Gareth having the cajones to play said players in a manner that llows them to show what they have, will be close imo, could do it

England are the bookie’s favourite.

Unlike fans and pundits, they deal with cold data so I’m encouraged by that

I agree, buy I think Southgate will find a way to f*** it up

They deal in where the moneys being traded, and more people in England will bet on England.

It’s not a complete indicator of who is actually favourite.

Can't see it. Defence is awful and managers tactics put focus on the awful part of his team, rather than the fantastic part in terms of creativity and goalscoring.

It's not a balanced team either with left backs injured, preferring defensive full backs, no consideration given to inverting a full back which has proven to work for English teams in recent times to give more to the midfield, helping to control the game and keep possession.

Then you look France and the balance throughout the team. They play an attacking game but are able to switch it up when they need to against the better teams.

but Safegate ...Maguire,Dunk

Is the defence 'awful'? Walker and Stones are two of the starters and they're considered excellent players. Shaw and Maguire are OK.

I think you’re right Striketeam, decent mixture of experience and fresh blood, bags of talent and few weak spots.

Left back is an issue, as is DM (although I’d simply play Rice there) and I’d like more depth at CB, but yes, we look well set.

I don’t think we have a player of Mbappes quality but we have a great chance.

No it’s not and no international team on the planet will be coaching inverted full backs.

England, France and Portugal have the best squads imo.

Just out of interest, who do people feel are the ‘good’ international managers? Anyone will do.

Portugal will not win it, unless Ronaldo is not a regular starter

England will not win it. Serial bottlers like Spurs

France, Spain or Germany for me

England team looks really strong this year tbh. If they can park the bus as usual Safegate style, but score just a bit more goals than last time then there's more than a decent chance of going all the way.

Reality is, winning a tournament requires a fair bit of good fortune.

England have a good chance.

The defence isn't as strong as it could be, but we have matchwinners throughout the team and sometimes that is the difference.

Let's just enjoy the fact we have a chance and look forward to the ride, imo.
