Brighton Jambo Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1 minute ago, JackLadd said: England have a 1bn market value squad which is a lot higher than even France or Belgium. There is no way in a millions years anyone is having the fact that England have a higher squad value than Belgium. What a rubbish argument. Belgium have one forward who moved in the summer for more than all of the forwards and midfielders England have playing tonight. If your talking purely notional values even that is debatable and is really scraping the barrel to prove England should be better than Belgium. De-Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku are worth at least 350-400 million between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALDOS' Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 These qualifiers are partly why England have struggled so badly at tournaments, as soon as they meet good opposition they have no idea how to break them down. Even back in the world, any decent side they came up against had them sussed. A bit like champions league, the only way forward is to scrap the seeding pish.

Rudy T Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Kosovo keeper is hopeless.. dare I say our Bobby might have done better with a few of those! England are always great against these teams... it’s when the real stuff starts they are exposed. That defence isn’t the best but feck me it’s one of the most expensive in history!

They always seem to have an easy time qualifying, in Celtic's can through domestic football, then can't step up against vastly better opposition when it matters.

One major final is a very poor return. I don’t think right now they are overhyped, fans and pundits recognise they are behind the likes of France and Belgium in that tier of 4/5 teams who could do very well with a bit of luck. I do believe for the vast majority of fans the horrors of 2014/16 have knocked the whole we are favourites mentality out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
