we are crap and will not beat whoever we get in the next round, too much i hear this is our time, this is the golden generation, the talent is too good and is a selection dilemma, give me the old guard back of the 90s, they were players, Gazza, Lineker, Ince, Pearce, Seaman, Neville, Sheringham, Shearer, Butcher, Shilton, Barnes, Waddle, apologies to any great players i have missed
@divegeester
There are a lot of people that know more about football than I do.
Being a German (first generation Canadian), I am reasonably familiar with German play. I find that Germany plays the same when they are up 4 goals as when they are down 4 goals. It either works or it doesn't. When their game is on, impressive !! When it isn't, ordinary. Square heads I call them. 😆
Italy, it is almost an art form, different from say, Brazil, but an art form.
Same with Spain, Portugal. France ? I'm not sure with them. They come and go with talent.
England ?? I call their game "set piece" football. They rely on free kicks and corners for much of their offence.
Their most significant contribution to football ? A movie. Bend It Like Beckham.
Loving the Denmark result. Love to see Russia destroyed. I was in Marseilles in 2016, but thankfully at the opposite end of the ground. If the English had behaved like the Russians did it would be ten year bans. Russia kept the World Cup two years later. FIFA are easily bought. 4.1. Love it. Pack your bags Russia.
@wycombe-al saidWe have plenty of talent coming through. Probably too young for this tournament, but there is quality produced by the youth systems at the major clubs with young English players training and playing with the best in the world in the Premier League.

Usually we expect to win it. Now we expect to be crap. Where is the middle ground?? Maybe not this tournament, but we have good players coming through.
(As you say too many to remember from the 90s but I'm adding Platt to your list.)
@trev33 saidVirgil Van Dijk, Kenny Dalglish, Andy Robertson...
How many world class players played in Scotland?
