I think England can win the Euros (there ive said it)

[One Planer]

Been watching a bit more of the soccer lately , and watching it ive come to the conclusion that England have a great chance of winning the European Championships , just think they are pretty solid enough & have alota firepower & different ways of playing ,





If they believe in themselves & go into it believing & playing like they can win it ,they might just do so

Is this on the PS4 or X-Box?

I don't think he will play Rooney , I also think with the power n pace available up front that should make the oppo defend a bit more , with Rooney up front the oppo wing backs get free reign putting pressure on midfield & defence ..

He's already said he will iirc unless he's playing mind games of course. Imo he won't drop Rooney, captain of the team etc etc.
Am I the only one who thinks Rooney has actually been playing ok since he came back from injury?

See what I mean about the press and the fans:lol:

Can you name someone better than Hodgson to lead England ?
His win ratio for England must be pretty high.

The current squad have a good young defense and I would move Rooney to midfield where he is best suited.
You also have a few strikers who know where the goalposts are and seem to be unafraid to have a go.
My only worry would be the goalkeepers, not the greatest IMO.

Eddie Howe would be one, Hoddle, Big Sam, Redknapp, Curbushley, Southgate, not the best candidates for England but all would do better than Hodgson.

His win ratio for England is ok but you have to consider the opposition for most of these games.

The games where it really matters we were truly awful.

The defence will be our downfall especially in the centre, I have no worries about our goalkeepers.

Wish we would just go no nonsense at the back and play a CB pairing of Scott Dann and Michael Dawson just to see how fed up the generation sky idiots would get who wouldn't have the first clue about football without messers Sounness and Redknapp.

Okay! So you don't like Hodgson but your list of alternatives includes all the under and non-achievers and over-hyped no hopers.

In fact the only ones you seem to have omitted are Venables and Mclaren.

Absolutely zero evidence that any of those clowns would ever achieve anything more than Hodgson.

How exactly is Eddie Howe a clown?

Thats my point all these no hopers as you put it IMO would do better than Hodgson.

I think it was Rio Ferdinand that thought Hoddle was the best manager he ever played under.

Harry Redknapp 🤔
Really??

In my opinion, Rooney shouldn't even go to the the Euros. Hasn't been good enough all season.
Defence is where we are slacking a touch, but we do have a good chance, if playing with the freedom, rather than the cautiousness.

France will definitely be there or thereabouts. Very much under the radar, but a better team than they had at the World Cup

I think a Rooney injury now, so that he doesn't go would be good for England's chances.

I am not sure they can win it but if they can play with pace like Leicester and the Spuds have this season then who knows,

 

[Papas1982]

I think now that Rooney himself has accepted his lack of pace. He will be an even better asset. I think he's every chance playing off the forward line. And he has as good and array of passing as any midfielder we have.

Its all all well and good picking all these youngsters. But experience is needed when the game gets tough. Spurs Chelsea Monday showed what pressure can result in.

I think you must have really struggled with that list.

Hoddle is a great manager but he will never be picked again for England.
Howe is an untried prospect but the others.......deary me.

Have you watched Manchester United this season? Jermaine Defoe should go before Rooney or Welbeck do

 

[drewster]

I think we can win it with a caveat that he builds the team around the players in form , who aren't scarred and that have something in their locker to make the other teams think about us for once . Alli, Dier, Smalling, Barkley, Kane and Vardy all spring to mind.

Has Rooney played up front or in midfield for England?
Before his injury he'd come back to form. It's easy to pick holes in him. But he's performed for England during qualifiers.

Utd playing poorly isn't due to Rooneys form.

 

[MegaSteve]

You only really win stuff if you have at least a couple of 'world class' players...
Currently I don't believe England have any...
A couple that may mature into achieving said status...
But, currently, still 'works in progress'...

Having said that I'll be supporting them all the way...
And, on any given day there is always the potential for 'things' to go the teams way...

Glenn Hoddle is probably the biggest charlatan of them all.

Constantly boosted by the London based media and yet achieved next to nothing as either a player or manager.

 

[Val]

England lack the belief to win it, belief comes from the manager and run doesn't believe either.

Sorry fellas I think you'll get to quarters at best

 

[Snelly]

No chance.

To suggest otherwise is the usual delusional tripe spouted by English football fans in advance of every single major tournament.

The only thing you can guarantee is that this lot will flatter to deceive and crash out ignominiously as per.
