Probably not. We have some very talented young players, but there may be too much hype around them, and a tournament too soon.
I'm not at all sure what the likely starting team will be or even the formation. I'm not sure Southgate knows either.
History suggests they'll lose to the first decent team they face.
Having said all that, there is a big home advantage, if the games all go ahead as planned.

@Burnley123 I was probably being a bit unfair on Southgate. I'm hoping he does know who and how he is going to play,but he's kept it well hidden in recent games. I wouldn't be too surprised if all of the English players from last night's Champions league final play, though Walker might be in a back three. It's looking like Alexander-Arnold might not even make the squad. I think you're right about defence. I think we also lack a top quality defensive midfielder.

@SW-User I agree up until the last point. I think Jordan Henderson has matured into that role and I also think Declan Rice is emerging as a world-class player.
Defense is the big worry because of lack of cover, quality keepers, and cohesion. The last point is the most important because you get such little time in international football and other teams have more settled units.

@Burnley123 Henderson and rice are certainly the best we have, and I think they'll probably both play. The thought of a back three of Pickford, Maguire and Stones is a bit of a worry.

{@burley123] may you think i am being sceptical here but if anything it will yet again a case of so near yet so far by other world cups ans european championshipsengland just lack that something . it shows every competition and maybe some bad luck to boot. .

@smiler2012 I dunno. In previous tournaments, we haven't been good enough. Now I think we are looking better but there are fine margins and there will always be good competition.

@Burnley123 yes i agree that we where not good enough as i say we lack that that sometime . proof in the pudding this time around let us hope you are right . time will tell

@Burnley123 I think Portugal will have a good chance, but Croatia tend to be stronger than we give them credit for. I hope it'll be fun to watch at least

My hopes for the Euros ;
1) Trent not to get picked.
2) Hendo not fit enough to start but given a couple of twenty minute run-outs.
3) Kane to do his ankle and scupper any move to one of the Manchester clubs.
P.S. In case you hadn't noticed ..... I have precisely zero interest in international football. 🥱
