Italy weren't 'very poor' at the Euros though, just because they lost to N. Macedonia lets not rewrite history.

We have tournament experience and have arguably the best set of attacking players in the tournament along with France. We should rightly be at least top three in terms of favourites. :manny:

The only team i'd be wary of playing is France just because of the level of talent they have, otherwise we should fear no one.:hubie:
England always had good players but they usually don't manage to play to the sum of its parts

Nah i disagree bro, we don't have the defence the play the way you're talking about. We DO have the defence, or at least the defensive set up, to play conservatively.

We have holes, but so does every other team in international football.

Every team we face will be absolutely shytting themselves at the thought of Kane dropping deep on the counter and supplying the wingers we have running beyond him.

Kane dropping deep has been some bs though. Kane up top and SCORING is what he needs to do.

It's usually down to coaches conservatism (this goes way back to Sir Alf days) or front loading the starting XI and not having anyone coming off the bench (Sven and Capello) to change things.

They're gonna get crucified for it through till the end and watch Qatar disregard the issue once the tournament is over
