I'm calling Southgate now, his best 11 is obviously as follows!

Pickford
TAA Walker Stones Gomez
Rice — Bellingham ---
-- Saka -- Palmer -- Foden --
Kane

Trent to be inverted, leaving Walker on the right of a three.

The best lineup for England is this one 👇
433

PICKFORD
TRENT WALKER STONES SHAW
RICE
BELLINGHAM FODEN
SAKA PALMER
KANE

The problem of Jude being a box to box is not only moving Jude back, but also that’s making Rice just sit, limiting the both of them. You can start foden on the left & Jude in the 10 and then they can alternate, with Jude drifting out wide and foden drifting centrally.

When haven’t England been favourites for every tournament since 1966? 🤔😡☹️😱😤

Even though I'm confident England won't win Euro 2024, I still expect them to easily beat Serbia. Serbia are simply not a good team at all. They were poor in qualifying and their two best players are currently in the Saudi Pro League.

You must be dreaming about 9 points mark my word they’ll drew the first game lose to Denmark and drew the last game

[BohemianRaichu]

I've seen england try to play all the attacking players in similar positions at once, I want balance.

[leeleung]

so how racist are the england fans going to be against their own players this time? The last world cup was disappointingly shocking...

[nitomeistertv]

So if England doesn’t go through, they’re unlucky?

[Sainno]

England are favorites to win the Euros just like how Arsenal were favorites to win the premier league! Make of that what you want

[wiskasIO]

Not winning anything since 1966, every 2 years.
Nobody:
English fans/media: We're favourites alright. 🤣

[chd]

Tell the euros 2024 trophy 🏆 etcher that its spelled KANE and not CAIN

[DiCimatti]

Here we go again 🤦🏻 Tournament Virgins - yet somehow favorites 😂

[TheDYNAMITE]

It's an EASY group, period. Other top teams would be moving mountains to be in such a group

[nikolalegend]

England is winning coming from a Serbian

[bibbcds]

Mainoo is better than the British Doucoure who plays in Spain

[Joker-emxf]

France Portugal and Germany are the main favorites, England will exit in the first phase.

I can guarantee you that England won't survive in their group.. This is England we are talking about, always have the talents, but don't know what to do with them.. Might as well the young talents migrate and play for a different nation.. I'd take Mainoo to become a part of the German squad.. Saka could migrate to France, i mean, he's not even appreciated by his own people for the extraordinary talent he is.. Basically, they are just wasting their talents playing for England, especially when Southgate is their leader.. I'm so delighted that Musiala chose us over England, and it was for his own good also..
