England is "dangerous" every tournament but this world cup is for real. If only Tuchel can make it click they can fight for the trophy easily. And imagine if Rashford redeems himself in Barça, they will have a world class team at disposal for a world class coach... Recipe for success.

And southgate let this man on bench in EURO!

He also left Wharton out on the back of a tremendous season for his club despite being the type of holding player England have been crying out for for God knows how many years now. So instead we had to endure Rice as a number 6 all tournament. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Rice and think he's a fantastic midfielder. But as a 6 he plays the first pass far too safe which then means the team can't get ahead of steam in the build up. Wharton moves the ball forward so quickly and it makes a huge difference as it doesn't allow teams to get set.

Shorter story is, Southgate (as nice a bloke as he is) is a tool.

I expect a Tuchel disasterclass tbh. Nothing in his past says he'll be a good fit for a tournament camp, and if Southgate had done what he had recently everyone would be trying to hound him out of the job already.

I won't write him off yet but his start has been underwhelming to say the least. I'm not bothered about losing to Senegal at the end of a season in a meaningless friendly. We beat them a couple of years ago in the World Cup, comfortably, when it mattered. But bringing back Henderson and using Walker (he's half the players he once was) is just baffling.

With the job Carsley has done, winning back to back Euros with the under 21's, surely it's his gig next.
