England

Hopefully last night will curb our usual over inflated expectations - we have a good squad, particularly in terms of attack - but personally I din't think we have the best in the competition - Harry Kane will only get the Golden Boot if we get a lot of penalties - Bellingham is a fantastic player but France have Dembele and Coman who are both as good as Saka (IMHO) and they have Mbappe...

Eze is, potentially, our wildcard ...

... but defence is our achilles heel ... add Greizeman and even Giroud to those French forwards and picture last night's defence trying to deal with them rather than the boys whose fans sing Ja Ja Ding Dong so well ... I'm sure we would raise our game - but even so... <laugh>
yeah, we have probably the best midfield and attack we've had in history, but behind Rice there's no one. Maguire is a big miss imo.

I was thinking last night, we could regret sending Maguire home.
 
i thought it was because he isnt fit enough to play

I've no idea, knowing Maguire's desire to keep playing, I'm somewhat surprised if that's the case. On last nights showing a knackered donkey would have been of more use.

He's not fit ... but otherwise I'm with you - lot of people hate on him but he's actually been one of our best attacking threats at the last couple of International finals ...

Not sure you meant to put up one of the league's most renowned divers to make a point on this ... but if so, fair play Clucks! ...ironic humour is a paricular favourite of mine <laugh>

didn't realise that Toney had made the squad till he came on last night . Have no idea why he wasn't left behind and another defender taken since Bowen or even Foden could be 3rd choice CF
