I think the England vibe is much better these days, egos won’t be an issue. Long gone are the toxic John Terry’s and “the big man is back in town” days.
I really don’t agree with this. How is one team ruining football?
As for Grealish, I’ve always felt he’s a one trick pony/ flat track bully. Easy to turn on the style against Championship and most EPL teams ….but seemingly cannot do it regularly at the truly elite level. He’s moved to a level...
I disagree. If England played well but were beaten in a final I do not think many would complain. It's more the limp and lucky way England perform at the moment which is the issue. Anyone with an ounce of football knowledge knows Southgate lucked his way to finals. If England were genuine...
