Based on what I've seen over the weekend, we shouldnt fear anyone. I thought Germany and Brazil would be a lot stronger but both proved they can be got at.
Tunisia shouldn't be underestimated. Would be delighted with any kind of win, a draw isn't a disaster though.
Typing this whilst watching Belgium struggle past supposedly-useless Panama. There's a fair bit of truth in that cliche about there being no easy games at this level.
Banana skin for me this one. Completely agree re: no easy games. Especially if you’re England
I just want us to go for it and try and win with a bit of positivity
If I see us struggle with a 1 goal win I fear it sets the tone for disappointment
If we can somehow turn it on and win by 3 or 4, maybe things have changed
Personally Think Stones is an error waiting to happen, I’d prefer a more experienced defender there. We’ll see
I think this every time I see him play, but Southgate seems to think differently and wants to build the defence around him. Glad Maguire got the nod, he’s looked good in the handful of appearances he’s made. Young adds a bit of experience, walker has the pace to cover stones’ fuck ups and Henderson has energy to cover a lot of ground, although he’s a bit limited. Not sure about sterling behind the lone frontman but I desperately want him to do well after the recent bollocks written about him. I have a feeling this may be Deli Ali’s tournament though. He’s been a bit quiet lately, but he’s the one truly creative player in that team. Kane needs to take his insane form into this tournament, he should be looking at 3 or 4 goals from the first couple of group games. C’mon!

Most of the other "fancied teams" have looked average in their first match
