    This England Team......

    The best of the 50 years I’ve been watching football.

    For the first time in all those years we are actually capable of controlling possession and looking like we’ve got the ball on a string.

    We are technically superb allied to having the desire and work rate.

    Us and Italy are by far the best two sides I’ve seen and either will be a worthy winner.

    Southgate deserves a lot of credit as well.

    Look at our bench if any of them (keepers aside) was playing you wouldnt think oh crap we have a weak link

    We have the best squad in the Euros I can’t ever remember thinking that as long as I’ve been watching footie

    Agree with all that ..... must admit I thought Southgate got his selection wrong against Germany .... too defensive .... but credit where credit is due. What 9s also good is we are not dependent on one player (Kane apart - we don’t have a decent replacement for him) and have lots of options on the bench .....

    Certainly the best team in my lifetime, we have had players but as a squad this is something special 🤞

    I’ve felt like that most of my life V.

    Boring sideways football with poor skills and a lack of ability to keep the ball.

    This is totally different, it’s football how football should be played.

    Happy to be proved wrong.

    Best squad in the tournament by miles. Other teams have one or two players who can do damage, we have about 9 at least!
