4-2-3-1
GK - Pickford
RB - Walker
LB - Shaw (or Trippier depending on fitness)
CBs - Stones and Maguire
6 - Rice
8 - Trent or Gallagher
10 - Bellingham
LW - Foden
RW - Saka
ST - Kane
I think Portugal have a shot at winning it |

"I really hope he doesn't play 2 holding midfielders"
He could go with Rice and Bellingham with Foden as the 10 but I think he's handicapped himself with an out of form Grealish and unproven Gordon at LW |

I think Joe's nailed the starting 11 (I'd go Gallagher over Trent).
Who will win? France will be hard to stop, but think Germany might surprise people, despite shit recent showings in big tournaments. We've genuinely got a decent chance! |

I'd go with that, Foden in 10 role and start Cole Parmer on the left of the front 3 |

It's a weird one, isn't it? I remember the clamours to start him at the last Euros but it feels like even though his career has got better, he's regressed as a player |

 I'm a grealish fan. Always plays well for England, draws players in and constantly wins fouls |

That's an interesting shout! I don't think Palmer has played LW before although admittedly I've not watched Chelsea that much but might be worth trying for his performances at club level |

who's we? Spain?

Earps in goal.
Spain or France to win.
Three Lions to be played on repeat until someone is photographed weeping, on the front of a red top newspaper, probably wearing jeans and a vintage Engerland shirt. |

I'd banish him for the socks alone...
But in all seriousness, I think there are better options now. |

Mon the Scotland !
All joking aside, England will do well and have some class players. Bellingham is great and Foden is on fire .. just a shame about your manager. After Scotland, i think France will be tough to beat. |

"What's your starting 11 for England this year and formation?
Bonus points for predicting this year's winners"
Not many people’s first choice team but this would be my go to team.
GK. dean henderson
RB. Kyle walker
RCB. John stones
CB. Harry Maguire
LCB. Jarred branthwaite
LB. Luke shaw if he’s fit
DM. Declan rice
RM. Phil Foden
AM. Jude Bellingham
LM. Bakayo saka
ST. Harry Kane
In my opinion this would be the most balanced with stones stepping into midfield when we have the ball and over lapping runs from walker and shaw too
England to win it at last |

ST : Kane
LW: Foden
RW : Saka
CAM: Bellingham
CDM: Rice
CDM :Mainoo
LB: Shaw (with lots of bandages)
CB: Stones
CB : Dier
RB: Walker
GK: Pickford (shouty man).
I reckon it’s a toss between England, France and Belgium.
Gotta be our lads to win  |

I'm quite indifferent to England generally but I don't think they're going to be contenders, purely because of Southgate. I mean Luke Shaw is still starting games in 2024 for crying out loud....
I think this tournament is France's to lose, I also think Germany with home advantage will do much better than expected. |

Gomez is shite (I know maguire is too, but does well for England). Tomori should get more of a look in |

Tomori should be there. But I’d play Gomez over Maguire every day of the week. I think he’s got more experience having played many times in big games for Liverpool alongside quality centre backs. I think the CB position is our weakest and Southgate’s selection is mostly to blame. |

I didn’t even realise Tomori wasn’t going! 
We’ll have to agree to disagree on Gomez, but I do agree on the CB position being our weakest.
Put Bellingham there, he can do everything else |

Tbh I’m not a huge fan of the squad. I think it lacks depth in the DM and CB positions. I think that’s the difference between us and France. I really can’t see anyone beating them. But a final or semi final should be a minimum expectation for us. Southgate’s in game management will need to improve massively though. |

Yeah I mean Gomez/ Maguire are our most experienced CBs other than stones and they’re not great. so it doesn’t really matter either way- they’re a weakness.
Bellingham will be exciting to watch next to Kane. Hope Southgate gets that tactically correct. |

Yeah 100% Southgate’s game management needs to improve.
Roll on the disappointment again |

Problem with the England team is there’s no one to keep the ball when they’re winning and Spain have rodri,Germany Kroos,France greizmann. We have talented players but not a manager that knows how to see out games |

England's strength in depth in the final third is quite formidable but the back 5 (inc goalie) is not strong enough. A ropey defence is likely to be found wanting in the knockout stages.
Potential winners would be Germany on home turf, Portugal and France with Hungary as dark horses. |

Jack Grealish is by far England's most talented player, and he's going to be sitting at home watching potentially Jude Bellingham running around wearing his number cosplaying as a creative forward
Group stage exit incoming... |
