Haven't been following English media. I wonder how the "is coming home" O-meter is doing.

It doesn't usually kick in until we're out of the groups.
 
I am rooting for Serbia but this should be an England win. Way too much quality up front against a bang average Serbian defence.
 
That guy with a name that ends with vic is pretty good, though.
 
Has there been a recent (as in in the past few months) Caf thread about greatest players who won nothing? Because Harry Kane (so far) is definitely one of them.

Why are English pundits and media overrating players? Bellingham this, Rice that. Trent this, Saka that. Lot of players that are considered to be starting players would be lucky to sitt on bench for teams like Spain, Germany, France and maybe even Italy.

The fact you put la liga player of the year Bellingham into that category says it all to me...

Play players in their best position or don't play them. It's like playing Scholes on the wing all over again.

so why do people insist on Bellingham next to Rice? Or Foden to be on the pitch?

Mind you I have been reading the same crap in the portuguese media tbf. I might be one of the few portuguese that doesn't believe the hype regarding our team.

I'm the same with England this time tbh, I'm not optimistic.
 
I can see Serbia causing an upset with their tall threats, especially if they use Maksimovic in the 2nd half too.

I can only assume this is a poor WUM because I refuse to believe a post could be this stupid.
 
Jesus Christ. Now saying a midfielder has less defensive duties than a right back. But Kobbie wasn’t defensive enough against fecking Iceland. Make it make sense guys

Doesn't mean this he isn't a good player. You talk about YouTube highlights have you actually watched him play?

i watched him for a bit when we were heavily linked. I wasnt surprised by the lack of actual interest in him from virtually every decent club in need of a midfielder
 
It's about time this tournament produces a proper upset.

Mainoo and Wharton are better and safer midfielders. But it’s a big ask throwing them into a Euros opener tbf.

Time will tell. If we control the game and play well, it’s probably the right decision.

Mainoo just bossed City in the FA cup final a few weeks ago. He's up to it.
 
We just need to get rice to protect that left hand side a bit and we will be fine.

This is always said but when it all ends people will be trying to find which players to blame. As always.

Those prizes says nothing about real quality of players.

They aren't that bad.

Not bad but not that brilliant that media and pundits love to talk about.

It's just a bog standard National side really, some genuine quality, some overhyped players and then some underwhelming filler.
