For me it’s mentality, I’m not sure Dunk quite has absolute top level mentality as we’ve seen through his career in pressure situations. This would be his last tournament and personally I’m not sure I’d want him starting for England so given his injuries and some ‘costly mistakes’ in the last...
Sorry that’s ridiculous. Spain had a second string squad because 12 of their squad who had been regulars refused to play for the coach.
Player for player we had a squad who played for top clubs, Spanish players ? Not so much
Which of the current squad did Southgate have in the U21s in his last tournament in 2015?
Not many is it
No.

It’s quite funny really as you can compare Englands ‘big failures’ with our own last season right ?
Italy = Charlton in the league cup
France = Man Utd in the FA cup
Still nothing is a sure thing. Look at Pep in the champions league and how many attempts that took, with some terrible tactical decisions in knockout games along the way.
