Euro 2024

If Toney goes, he goes for pens only.

Ah I dunno. He's a proper centre forward. England are falling down with wingers / outside forwards but they need a back up / rotation for Kane, and Toney is the best option i'd think.

 Watkins seems to the favoured one as the back up.

England have a very good chance. Their defence isn't as bad as its made out albeit they seem to have no natural left back. Their front 4 of Foden/Kane/Bellingham/Saka is as good as what is at the tournament.

Looking forward to it. I've always favoured the Euros over the World Cup for some reason.

If England want it badly enough then they might win it. Top teams don't always give 100% at the euros hence winners like Greece and Denmark. Italy also failed to qualify for the world cup after winning the last euros in which beaten finalists England played every game at home.

Me the same, but the increase in teams and reduced jeopardy in group stages has lessened the appeal.  16 teams 4 groups of 4 should been left like that top two into last 8.

Yeah that is true only 8 of the 24 going out after the group stages does dilute it alright. Next World Cup has 48 teams at it. That is overkill imo.

Micah Richards does my head in.

Him Lineker and Shearer are like an old boys club.
