RE: Euro 2024 Qualifiers & Tournament
As an Italophile England supporter, this is normally the stage in the process where I wistfully compare England to Italy and wish that we were more like the latter.
In fact, I already did that after the first round, which they both won, but where England seemed to be frantically “hanging on” in the second half, while Italy seemed to simply “downshift” into a lower gear.
Today, I feel different. England has problems, but there is depth in the squad, table position, and tactical riddles that are fixable. I still think they have the latent quality to step-up and grow into the tournament.
By contrast, Italy just got spanked by Spain yesterday. They simply don’t seem good enough to win this tournament.

difference between italy and england you know when push comes to shove they will show up on the big stage because they have done it before
Southgate really pisses me off he is blind to what almost everyone else can see he was moaning because he had no replacement for Kalvin Phillips if you dont you change your fucking system and style to the players you have if you were to ask every other manager there if they would kill for even half the england team the majority would prob say yes
least past england managers have had the excuse of players missing thru injury apart from maybe Mcguire who else would really be in the team
and you know the clowns at the FA will have secretly offered him a multi year new deal
Least i can always use my German heritage to get far into the tournament again its been a god send the last 40 years
