Unfortunately they will still lose somehow.
It’s not coming home bro ðŸ˜
lol favourites 😆
Shoulda brought Grealish cause I know y’all going home early for sure
Extremely successful? England usually lose as soon as they come up against a top nation. Southgate’s win against Germany at Wembley was the exception but that was a home advantage . Belgium (lost) Croatia (lost) Italy (lost) France (lost).
Their best Euros player from last time is at home, they won’t get bailed out and will get grouped sadly.
