Forsberg has not played a single Bundesliga game for 90 minutes last season. But he played in all but 5 games (of which he was injured in 4) He had one 90 minutes game in total in the last season (vs ManU in CL) | ||

Plus the bracket has been kind to England, and been tough on the other top teams. In short, the deck is stacked nicely for England. Really no excuse not to win, and win with style. Why are neutrals not invested or excited in England? Because despite all the advantages given on a silver platter, they are playing scared and just hoping for more good fortune to fall their way from their opponent's mistakes. | ||

Because it's inexplicable we're not seeing Sancho 24/7 -_- I don't get it. And Denmark is more exciting. | ||

No, don't give me a technical reason based on availability of other venues. I'm sure matters can always be arranged to strike a balance between fairness and safety. Just like CL Final shifting to England. | ||

Everyone's complaining that we aren't playing Grealish, Sterling, Sancho, Foden and Saka but no-one seems to have given a thought to how that would work. We can't play em all and Sterling, Grealish and Saka are all in amazing form. I think people are too critical of England's style. We haven't won a tournament since 66 and we seem to have hit on a formula for clean sheets. We would be wise to stick to what works | ||

But with these Euros, nothing happens like it should England will be attacking into a full defense mode Ukraine. They advanced to the EURO without a loss. And they like to play from defense on breaks. So all in all it breaks down if England can win in such conditions outside of their home. Considering how much effort they had to make to win over Cze it's iffy. | ||

Sancho apart from Sept 20-Feb 21, has been one of the best scorers in alle of europe for two years now. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing Grealish and I totally see that using Saka helps England right now but not using Sancho at all (apart from what 2 minutes)? And I'm not complaining that they aren't playing all at the same time. Mount played some fantastic passes to Sterling during the first game. He was the one offensive guy who would've had a safe spot after that game. Kane, Foden, Sterling? Not so much. That game gave enough reasons to start one of Sancho or Saka in game 2. | ||

Saka was a nice bold tactical touch against Germany. Sancho deserves more playtime too. Due to home advantage, England has higher energy and fresher legs. The game-plan should be to apply pressure and tire opponents, rather than sit back and slow play. So field players who can run hard and pass well. Teams like Spain and Denmark have figured this out. Keep possession and pressure, and eventually the opponent will crumble. Croatia mounted a great comeback, but their legs were just gone at extra-time. It's just odd that England isn't playing to its advantage, and plays too reactively. That's perhaps where the criticism comes from, which is actually high praise - England has the potential to outplay good teams in Euro, but is too timid to try. Or in other words, England is just making each match more difficult than it really is. | ||
