Southgate comes over as the most boring bloke on earth , imagine the squad being locked in the dressing room with him , it must be a yawn fest
It's coming home
another easy group and another poor performance. get rid of southgate now
Macedonia AKA Slayer of giants
England can have prime Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Lingard, Maldini, Cruyff, Zidane, Messi in their team, they still won't win with Southgate at the helm. A dud manager won't get you anywhere, no matter how talented the team.
Honestly this England squad is stacked like a 2010 Spain or 2014 Germany with a better coach they could definitely win it.
Meanwhile France brushing aside Gibraltar 14-0
Germany are 3rd?!? Spain & Portugal 4th and 5th?!? Is this a joke?!
England Number 1 just like Belgium was Number 1???? ZERO trophies
Man southgate really is a championship level coach .
All that talent and you draw to a place thats barely a country
Very soon we shall be hearing, "Football is coming home!" The English and their trumpets! They love to blow them in public!
Belgium were number 1, they hit the heights and will always be remembered for that achievement more than the French team that were number two and just a measly World Cup
Belgium was number one for a long time and they didn't win a worldcup ….whats the point of being number one
DROP CRISTIANO, THEY ARE BETTER WITHOUT HIM😂😂😂
France are gonna win this euros. Rest of Europe are horrendous it’s a disgrace. Portugal and England are the only other teams I can see challenging France but Southgate’s will be England’s downfall. Spain, Italy, Belgium and Germany look awful. Germany will go out in the groups
I agree with Burley on this one. What's the point of No. 1 if you can't win the World Cup or the Euros?
I'd rather be ranked 69 but win at least one of those tournaments.
The only way England will reach number 1 is if they release a record.
Never underestimate the Azzurri
england should kick manager out already
Not foreseeable in the nearest future 😂….Uruguay 🇺🇾 will be NO 1 in the world before England 🏴 can even be in 3rd position 😊
There's always massive overanalysis when it comes to England. It was a nothing game. It doesn't tell anybody anything.
Southgate has lost the spot
Does Burley need to shout?
England will never be No. 1 as long as Southgate is the coach. He is setting them back!!
Never beaten a proper team in world cup.
England the worlds most overhype football team ever, okay it all has to do with inferiority complex, 1 WC in 60yrs and a bunch of average, above average players, coupled with the best league in the world which is run, coached, owned by foreigners, and still hasnt helped english football. What will?? These are the true number one teams on earth who have got a lot to show for, brazil 5WCups, and 9 copa america, Germany 4WCups and 3 euros, italy 4WCups and 2 euros, Argentina 3WCups and 15 copa america, France 2WCups and 2 euros, Spain 1 WC and 3 euros and uraguay 2WCups and 15 copa america. England has only won 1 WCup and still making too much noise
Hilarious how england not even trying against minnows has got people excited for them to bottle it 😂😂you know they are worried
England should have already been no.1 getting old now sackkkkk himmm please will never win a trophy with him
That Euro 2024 winning odds are quite discriminate.
My Picks: France, Portugal, England, Spain, Belgium.
Germany will finish 3rd in the group stage. An embarrassment for the host.
Germany is 6-1 before they are the host
They aren't even no.1 in Europe and they want to be no.1 in the World. What kind of tea they are drinking these days?
I think people are often too hard on England. They are consistently solid and perform well. They haven’t won a major competition in many years but they are most certainly a top 5 team in the world at the moment and they are absolutely a favorite for the Euros. I think France deservedly should be the primary favorite because of their depth but don’t sleep on England.
Exactly. The spuds were ranked No.1 for over a year in the rugby world rankings and were eliminated yet again at the quarter final stage.
Nah they won't, southgate is useless, I predict a Germany-france final,shut up gab you know as much about football than i do about snail racing
