  1. There's absolutely no guarantee that these players will improve.  It's a proper myth. 

     

    You could have said the same thing about Sterling and Barkley from the previous tournament and neither pushed on at international level.

     

    To do better next time, we would need better players, playing in a better system with a manger who can be more decisive and flexible during games.  That's a lot needed to be done.  The quality in the French, Belgian and Brazilian squads alone are streets ahead of us.  And of course, they will also be looking forward to seeing their young talents improve in the next 4 years....

     

    Fwiw, we have loads of talented youngsters coming through the youth teams, but again there is nothing to say those players will make the jump to adult football. 

     

  2. Third place game and semi final put this England team into perspective.  We only made the semi final because of the easy draw.  Any knockout game against an actual contender would have seen us leave.

  3. I mean, Belgium look a better team than us.  So good that we can go into the final group game against them with minimal pressure.  Hopefully we decide to lose and take the easier draw from the 2nd place finish or we go to win and they rotate loads of their big name players.

     

    Really don't trust this 5-3-2.  Maguire and Young look out of sync on the left.  Rose didn't look up to speed when he came on.
