My not-too-left field prediction; Italy. |  |

Huh? 🤷â€â™‚ï¸ |
I'm just pondering why the relative mental strength of, for example, the 1970 England World Cup squad, might be relevant to England's chances in the 2020 European Championship.
Football teams having eternal souls being one possible explanation. |  |

You made a comment about there being big medal winners in the squad. I'm just saying England squads have often had European Cup/CL medal winners in them. Doesn't mean they have the mental strength as a squad, to win international tournaments. |  |

but, and correct me if I'm wrong, your reason for believing they lack mental strength seemed to be simply that they "always" do so? | |

France or Portugal for me. England are going to have to improve massively just to make it to the knock outs. |
France, Portugal, outsider's
Italy and Spain
Don't know if Belgium have a winners mentally England simply Not good enough and pinning one's hope on Maguire really he would never have played before Ferdinand, Terry or Cambell in the day and England won nothing why now |  | | |

As a national team, which is what we're discussing, they do. | |

Is it really that strange to see a team featuring 7 finalists from the biggest club competition in Europe as contenders for being the best team in Europe? | |

No. I said England always lack mental strength and that has been the case since 66. | |

So, Phil Foden lacks mental strength because Peter Bonetti did? | |

It looks as though it's France's to lose, but Germany, not particularly fancied by many, will probably get to at least the final. |  |

Portugal to beat France in the final
England knocked out in the last 16

No, that's a stupid comment, with respect. Your point was that England are mentally strong because some players have Champions League medals. I'm just saying that hasn't been the case in previous years. | |

Turkey are the dark horse. |
My son, who is a major stat nerd, also says Turkey.
An England/Turkey final, no less.

Yes, it was a stupid comment, that was the point I was making.
We've still not got any closer to why you think all these English players lack mental strength. | |

Oh dear, this isn't easy. My prediction was that England won't win the tournament because, as usual, they will lack the mental strength to win it. My reasoning is that England squads have lacked the mental strength to win a tournament over many years. Your reasoning for not agreeing with me, is that some of the players in the squad have won CL medals. Now here's the thing, I don't think that's a good reason because having European Cup/CL winners in the squad is not unique to this year.
I'll leave it at that as I don't think we're getting anywhere. | |

Christ if we came 2nd in our group and then went out to a fairly poor Spain side Southgate should leave on the spot like Hodgson did.
It's coming home! |
I’d fancy us to beat Spain. Only teams I’m scared of are France, Portugal, Belgium and Italy. Which is why it’s annoying we’re likely to get one of the first two in the second round | |

Surprised to see so little belief in Germany. Results have been indifferent lately but they have a very strong squad on paper and a history of getting the job done when it matters.
World class keeper in Neuer.
Full backs are nothing to write home about but Hummels and Rudiger are quality centre halves with pretty good cover in Sule.
Superb midfield options of Kimmich, Kroos, Goretzka, Gundogan and Havertz.
Attacking options of Werner, Sane, Gnabry and of course the superstar Muller.
Hard to see many sides as good on paper, France yes, England, Portugal and Belgium maybe. |  |

Gotta be a way to beat a team that's lining up a back line as slow as Alderweireld-Vertonghen-Vermaelen. | |

England! Only joking
Quite fancy Portugal
I’ve got Germany in the sweepstake so hoping they do one of their ‘never write off the Germans’ stories [Post edited 7 Jun 2021 22:27]

France, Germany and Portugal all in the same group. Who ever wins the group, I think will win it. Outside shout for Turkey. |  | | |
