EURO 2024

England won't win it. If they do it'll be more by luck than judgement. Southgate is a back foot manager and back foot managers don't win much. They generally get caught out in tournament football by managers who maybe don't have a better team, but send their team out to win.

British players can play at a pace and intensity that other countries can rarely match. It's a mystery why we then decide to go and try to play them at their own style.

Would love to be wrong but I agree. Don’t believe we’re good enough defensively to win it.

Some nice 2pm kick offs in that, hopefully I'm working from home most of June

Surprised at that. Hummels is still a class act

On holiday in Scotland and BBC Scotland did a live report from the Scottish Euro Camp a month from their game with Germany.
The locals are expecting up to 200,000 Scots to travel for the finals, they're certainly starting the build up nice and early.

While I’m not Southgate’s biggest fan, teams don’t win tournaments by luck.

True, and we've had some outrageous luck in terms of whole sides of a draw falling our way during his tenure and still not won it.

First time we play a decent team we'll go.

If this is down your alley (I find these hilarious for some reason)

I'm going to Italy Albania as part of a stag do, hoping to be in with the Italian but either way should be a good laugh

England’s preliminary squad is named next Tuesday. I can’t see any surprises but you never know with Southgate

Hoping Mainoo goes. Could be a real wildcard type of selection.

He has to, surely? Tidy finish from him last night.

Naglesmann really does what he thinks is best. Think 99/100 would've picked Hummels, Gnabry and Goretzka

Absolutely. I still fancy Germany to reach the final. They’re great in tournaments and home advantage is massive.

Crazy decision for me. He’s absolutely flying

He's eligible for England, get him in the squad

With Shaw injured, Trippier is a shoe-in despite his horrific season for Riyadh FC
