imo first 11 is still very good have you seen France midfied? it's poverty they still calling Rabiot and old man Kante ffs also spain have not good attack i think each team have some weakness.

Baena is of a similar quality to Anthony Gordon imo and they don’t have anyone of the quality of Yamal.

Their midfield, back line and goalkeeper is silly quality though. Raya won’t be starting them that’s how good they are.

As for France they could still put out a midfield of Tchouameni, Camavinga and WZE no?

Dembele - Mbappe - Olise with Doue and Ekitike on the bench is too OP.

First England manager who is picking based on form and minutes rather than reputation.

That said, this is also the weakest England set up I can remember in terms of star names. There aren’t any. Bellingham but he isn’t playing like a star atm.
It’s better this way. Great depth in the squad, the Golden Generation were incredibly top heavy. Nice having a start XI but not so mic when the bench has Aaron Lennon and Darius Vassell.

I was thinking that. In the big moments though, not sure this team has the quality.

Imo Spain are probably more fav because of the experience they have and France got the super talents but tuchel is smart guy will be interesting how he'll approach games against top nations

Tuchel wants to take a 4th GK just so he can be there for training purposes and take the load off the other three who will be the playing options.

I’m sure I heard in one of the previous camps there was an issue with not having enough GK’s to cover training games and a fitness coach or something went in goal.

Bad Take Central


Still not Alexander Arnold and obviously no White


Strong squad but some poor choices also:

I'd ditch:

Henderson - Was bang average in his prime nevermind now that he's past it.

Palmer - hasn't been good for his club since 2024.

Folden - Always been so woeful for England.

Spence - Hall and Lewis are ahead of him at LB and Spence isn't great at RB. Only one RB in squad in Livramento who is injury prone.


I'd instead have:

A.Scott
Barnes
MGW
White
