The Euros

To be honest mate who have EnglandΒ really beat in both tournaments outside a poor Germany side. The new horrific Euros format and host nation pish helped bigtime.

Tunisia, Panama, Sweden, Colombia(on pens) Ukraine, Denmark, Czech Rep and an aging Croatia side.

Lost to Belgium twice, Croatia and Italy.

On paper a SF and final looks great but in reality its really not impressive considering they practically won one out of 5Β real big tests.

You can only beat who is in front of you in a tournament and England couldn't beat Slovakia, Russia or Iceland at Euro 2016. 2014 they couldn't beat Costa Rica.

He's done a good job in putting together a very organised and tactically focused England side. AET defeats to Croatia, Holland and Italy in competitive tournaments at SF or Final stage is a massive improvement to what has gone before with more talented players at previous managers' disposal.Β

England need to be more brave. Sat back half an hour as if there was 5 minutes to go.

TheyΒ were understandably knackered and It’s always tough to change your mentality when you concede a goal.Β

Hindsight’s 20/20 but putting Saka on the last penalty made no sense at the time and still doesn’t. Not sure about bringing two guys on who barely played all tournament but at least Rashford actually hits penalties I suppose.

Aye Casemiro and Fabinho couldn't lace Rice or Phillips boots.

Thiago Silva is inferior to Maguire and Stones. Alex Sandro shit compared to Shaw.

Only 3 England players would be guaranteed a start for Brazil. Kane, Sterling and TAA.

:lol:Β

They aren't though. They've reached a semi and a final in quarter of a century. They reached a final by playing one good team and playing 6 of 7 games at home. They might well become on in the next few years but they aren't there yet.

Come on, you don’t get to a semi final and final of successive tournaments without being a top team no matter how much Scotland fans wish it wasn’t true. Italy were the team of the tournament and couldn’t beat England in 120 mins. The Germans were runners up in the so called group of death and England made it look easy.Β 

If England are not one of the top European teams right now I’m not sure who is. Spain who went out on pens to Italy the same as England? Belgium who were beaten by them? France who drew with Hungary and were knocked out by the Swiss? The Dutch who went out to a Czech team England beat comfortably?Β 

You can not like England, but if people genuinely can’t give this young team credit for being one of the best international teams around at the moment then they need to have a look at themselves.
