Pickford has made, literally, one mistake for England, he's been excellent Maguire is not going to be in the team if Guehi is fit Thats an if though I just don’t rate Pickford. His distribution is poor and he’s erratic. It’s no coincidence that Everton have struggled in recent years and he’s in goal. He’s a capable premier league keeper. He’s not top half and he’s not the kind of keeper who wins titles, European or otherwise. Now, I don’t think there’s a better option currently and he will play, I just don’t see him as good enough for us to win anything. I think our attacking options are phenomenal. I just don’t think we have enough defensively. Hopefully I’m wrong. He's miles worse for Everton, all those things you describe he's very reliable for England it is weird Better keeper would be great but he's fine

Belgium are a tasty 17/1 I understand they've underperformed but still nice odds

Frustrating when our attack looks so good but I think we’ll be vulnerable at the back against the top teams. If we get to the last 4 I’ll be surprised.

Both of them just don’t inspire confidence and are prone to mistakes. Personally I can’t see either of them being good enough to get us anywhere near winning the competition. Pickford has made, literally, one mistake for England, he's been excellent Maguire is not going to be in the team if Guehi is fit Thats an if though Southgate starts Maguire ahead of Guehi doesn’t he?

France are surely favourites (despite what the odds say) - they are just a very good and more balanced side than England who have a 10/10 attack and 5/10 defence.

France by a mile, if they are in the right place mentally they are the favourites Spain, they look like they used to look before that golden spell when they won everything : good players but lacking killer striker Quarters but maybe no further? Portugal might be more likely to score but are they still beholden to Ronaldo Dutch look terrible The Spanish young players look terrifyingly good tbh. A striker is their obvious issue but if they can spread them through their wide attackers then they can go far. Spain has a 16 year old kid playing on the wing. Lamine Yamal. This tournament could still be too early for him, but he could make an impact and is a super talented lad.

They’ve got to learn from how they used Pedri and not make the same mistakes.

England are favourites on bet365 @ 3/1.
I think France will win it.

They’ve got to learn from how they used Pedri and not make the same mistakes. And with Rodri running midfield they are technically very good. I remember them battering Italy in the semis in Euro 2020. 1 down with minutes to go and I was waiting for them to lump it into the box. No. Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.... and they lose the game. Might be the same story this year

Italy and Germany too.

Germany have been shit for many years now and have been even worse since the World Cup however the last friendlies they switched their team around bringing Kroos back in moving Kimich to full back and had two very good wins they do have good young wingers However won't be a shock if they fail to get through their group as Switzerland are better, Hungary are a good side on their day these days and just maybe the Scots will be a pain

Hungary are weirdly not bad, they’ve only recently lost to Italy, otherwise their recent record is good.

England will win EURO 2024. They basically drew with Italy at the prior EUROs......they lost via the ridiculous ritual of penalty kicks. After 30 minutes of extra time, England and Italy should have been declared co-champions. If not England, probably Slovakia.

Returning to form and home advantage.

Returning to form and home advantage. They might well do but its probably the most even group wouldn't call two friendlies as definitive return to form They play the weakest team, Scotland, first so they probably have to win that one

If we don't I'm going to be insufferably excited until we back it up with defeat to Switzerland. Seen Scotland long enough to know the script off by heart by now: - lose to Germany but a morale boosting performance - huff n puff v Switzerland in the dullest 0-0 of the tournament - Excited v Hungary that we could finally get out of a group but inevitably fuck it up and head home.
