I noticed that most of the major European teams seem to be in reconstruction phase right now.

We're not, to be honest.

We are a far better team than we were compare to the 2018 World Cup, and we have a lot of decent options. Especially going forward, I think we could blow any team away. I just really, really worry about our defence. That is what will stop us winning the tournament.

In my Predictions League at work, I have us losing to France in the last 16.

Oh I agree with you on England.

I think England right now has their best team since the 2006 World Cup.

Why do you think you'll get knocked out by France in the last 16? You think you'll finish behind Croatia in your group?

Croatia were definitely the better team 3 years ago, but now I think England are clearly better (Croatia's team is pretty old now). I don't see why England couldn't finish first in their group.

Lech, if we win our group, I think we play the 2nd placed team of the mental Germany/Portugal/France/Hungary group in the last 16. That group is insane. I think we'd be underdogs against 3 of those teams, and even Hungary are a side not to be underestimated.

Horrible scenes watching CE collapse like that. Life is precious.

That was absolutely abysmal from England.

Absolutely great day of Football. All 3 matches were brilliant to watch.

Italy - Belgium is possibly the finest first half of football I have witnessed (as a neutral) in over a decade. Just wow.

[GenerationTerrorist]

Wow, I was blown away by our performance against what was, in honest, a Ukraine side that looked knackered.

Denmark is going to be an incredibly tough game. They already beat us at Wembley just over a year ago.

Both of these are going all the way to Penalties, I think.

Absolutely devastated
