dylanisabaddog 4,916 Posted June 8, 2021 For those of you who don't understand betting, that means if you bet £10 on England to win the Euros you lose £10. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted June 8, 2021 The sad thing is, it’s a good enough squad to go deep into the tournament, and in an attacking sense, win it. But we have the national teams answer to Mr Houghton in charge so will be out the first time we play a half decent side. Somehow Southgate is still in favour due to the ridiculously easy fixtures 3 years ago, and we still lost to a poor side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing that worries me is that when Southgate first took over we would destroy lesser teams and always thrash them then crumble anytime we played against a decent team and lose ... We can barley manage to get a result against the lesser teams now and people think we can win the whole thing?

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted June 8, 2021 They're ****. Should get out of that group, but quarters are about as far as they'll go. Defence is not good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted June 8, 2021 The draw hasn’t been too kind - win the group it’s likely to be France or Portugal, come second it’s likely to be one of those two in the QFs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted June 8, 2021 I don't feel like England are where they were a few years ago, so will be interesting to see what they can produce once the tournament starts. I'd be happy for us to get to the quarters so we can have a little bit of excitement along the way, anything beyond that is a bonus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted June 8, 2021 Not sure i agree with Rashford that they are stronger than three years ago. Front line is one of the best in the world. Defence, very average. Mings and Coady is not a world class pairing thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don’t be Krul 399 Posted June 8, 2021 There are 6/7 players who would walk into most of the Euro teams starting XI. Kane, Grealish, Foden, Mount, Rice, Rashford off the top of my head and not all of those will be in England's first XI. Shows the strength of the squad but with Southgate in charge we won't make it past the last 16, whereas should be aiming for the final. Won't happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 8, 2021 I'm interested in the Euros only to see how our own club players get on and as an English person, it might be heresy to say it, but I would rather Finland win it than England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrathofthefarkely 54 Posted June 8, 2021 God all the euros with people going on about taking the knee And the Norwich prudes still banging on about gambling and women doing things that make them blush. Plus Gareth hughton grinding us to the semi final then folding. Joy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannot get excited by any of our football, Kane or any of the rest of them as a collection of players/management. All I get from watching England in friendlies and competitive games is wonder why I am bothering to watch such turgid lack of entertainment. Give me a whole hearted up and at'em kind of team that looks like it's giving it's all every minute they are on the pitch with a player like Pukki who I can relate to. What are the odds on Finland? 500-1 I think I saw. That's where my couple of quid will go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 8, 2021 we're decent but those odds are short... must be the bookies protecting themselves from what will be a popular bet domestically... I bet you get better odds from a French bookmaker (is that even a thing?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
