better than Rooney? I'd have Rooney personally

Yes, Kane is better.

better than Rooney? I'd have Rooney personally

Euro 2004 aside, Rooney was awful when it mattered. At least Kane tends to turn up at major tournaments.

 

[errant]

Seeing the highlights back, realised the Belgium second goal was my trademark unbeatable scoring technique in the original Sensible Soccer for the Amiga… curving floating ball to the far post with a diving header into the net… unbeatable.

 

[cluffy]

Kane is genuinely world class. I’d make no arguments against that. I think Walker and, in time, Bellingham as well.

Anyone who’s a premier league regular (top half say) should be good enough to play well at the euros.
The problem is people like Maguire - who isn’t good enough to play regularly for Man U - and Hendo who is in a lesser league.
I can see the future - we’ll do ok and Maguire will make that one mistake which will cost us

Which version the one from euro 2004, or the one who thought of himself as quarter back at euro 2016 ?

 

[samsafc]

Yes France of course, in tournament in Germany, we’d likely get beaten of the hosts even if it is a weak German team.

Then the usual suspects we probably would come up short against under Southgate in tournament footy
Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy
Possibly Croatia

The same Germany we beat last euros?
We will get to semi finals minimum, winning it should be the aim.
This team will be even better at the World Cup, especially if Kane still firing.

 

[Uromastyx]

I’ve just watched two fixtures where Gordon, Bowen and Sam Gallagher have started.

Lampard and Beckham could do what Rice does with absolutely no issues and pose more of a threat as well. As could Hargreaves, Scholes and Carrick.

If you think that Lampard and Beckham could do the job that Declan Rice does in 2024 football then this exchange ends here. Thanks.

Stones, too. Foden and saka are top class, rice also.

 

[snarlz II]

Our Achilles is beating the top teams at the tail end of tournaments, hopefully Southgate is more positive if we get that far in June

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Which version the one from euro 2004, or the one who thought of himself as quarter back at euro 2016 ?

Different style of players, but Kane hasn’t yet had a tournament for England like Rooney did in 04.

Rooney took the piss out of world class players that tournament. Sensational natural ability. Not many England players have mind

 

[samsafc]

100% agree, hopefully he has the faith in us to be better than the opposition. Instead of us looking to contain them. Can’t wait for the euros now like

They won’t be starting come the summer. It’s just friendlies. We seen plenty of shite players get games in friendlies back when Beckham etc were playing.

 

[cluffy]

Portugal have a good squad like. But they’re managed by Martinez

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

I used to think that football was invented in 1992, turns out it was 2022.

 

[naughtynose]

Jobe's price also rockets

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Can you explain why they couldn’t by they way?

 

[Silly Point]

We'll get to the quarters or semis or however long it takes to play one of the big boys. Groundhog Day from the mags of international football

 

[samsafc]

Can you explain why they couldn’t by they way?

Beckham was slow as fuck for a start.

 

[palm 1]

And got a decent 2-2 draw whilst Debruyne was relaxing at home.

Kane , Walker , Saka , Shaw .

 

[Safc98]

Kane , Walker , Saka , Shaw .

No no. Only their absentees count. Just like Sunderland injuries are never an excuse
