They are like Arsenal of international football right now

Not some beautiful football but they keep winning and are very solid defensively

Oh yeah and they have a long history of bottling it in this competition

So we'll see

England is the dark horse in this WC, they just cant stop winning under Tuchel. Think they will reach at least semi final, probably final

We can't win it without Kane. The squad is stronger than I can remember but we dont have a number 9 to replace him even for a few games. Watkins isn't what he was a couple of years ago and Delap is extremely raw. An ancient Danny Welbeck is a bettee option than both right now.

Should Kane get injured before or at the WC I think the most sensible option would be to play Bellingham as a false 9. He did really well there for Real Madrid in his first season.

I think we were Southgated in the recent finals more than bottling it. Tuchel is on a different planet in a far away galaxy to Southgate tactically. With Tuchel, there's not a chance we would have lost to Italy at Wembley in 2021.

It will be Foden as a false #9 I think, not Bellingham. City have won the league with him playing that role in the past.

I think both are capable of being stop gap options. Plus there's Rashford who can also play there, albeit he is obviously much better playing out wide cutting in. I do expect Tuchel to take Watkins as backup though just as long as he finds a bit of form at Villa by the end of the season. Even if he's not having the best of times in front of goal he is still quick and presses extremely well.
