Your Euro 2024 England Reflections

Do you think England can make it out of the group stage of Euro 2024?

Transcript

00:00I think they'll make it out of the group, but whether they'll, how far they'll progress I don't know.

00:07He's got a, he's dropped quite a few of the big players, hasn't he?

00:12And, but you never know, you know, we always hope, don't we?

00:17They've got some good players, but Foden doesn't seem to be able to recreate his club form for his country.

00:25I don't know why, but he seems a bit stifled somehow, he's a bit inhibited.

00:31I think Grealish is a bit unlucky not to make the last kind of 22 or whatever it was.

00:38But they were okay, whether they're good enough I'm not sure.

00:42Obviously Jude Bellingham playing really well, I thought.

00:46He's kind of the star boy right now.

00:48But, yeah, I think if we're going to beat these bigger teams, you know, France, Germany,

00:54a better performance will be needed from the lads.

00:58And yeah, but it's good to be one.

01:00You know, you just start slow and kind of build up, I guess, towards the end of the tournament.

01:04The style of play these days where they pass it out from the back, it's so dangerous.

01:12And sometimes you just say, just get it up the field.

01:16I'm sure that most genuine fans are feeling the same thing.

01:20And also, the goalkeeper seems to get more passes than anybody else.

01:26I'm thinking, just pass it forward for God's sake, honestly.

01:31This is every team now, they've all taken this new style of play on,

01:37and I find it very unattractive to be honest.

01:40We both remember the 1966 World Cup.

01:43Yes, yeah.

01:45And you always hope.

01:47But, well, good luck England.

01:49Just keep going.

01:50You know, you want a winger going down his wing and beating his full back and crossing it.

01:56Football hasn't changed.

01:58That's what gets you off your seat, you know.
