World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

We seem a bit impatient. Croatia two very good goals, but our shape/positioning seems a bit off. Needs to improve.

the problem England have is, they have a good 5 a side team, almost, Pickford and Stones are decent, Bellingham and Kane are excellent, everyone else is a traffic cone
 
Good to see Vuskovic doesn’t seem to be phased with the ball at his feet. Very confident.
He looks very self-assured, comfortable on the ball. The only actual defending he’s done was knocking the ball out for the corner which led to England’s second. Let’s see.
 
Our balance looks off. Gordon hasn't had a sniff, and defensively we look all over the place. Rice and Anderson offering nothing with Harry having to drop deep for any semblance of creativity.

Fair point. I’d reluctantly add Rice to the decent category too.

Yeah in open play there’s been little from the wings, and full backs look shaky.

Our strength is set pieces. Plus we play to percentages better than any other team in this tournament. I’d also say we’re the best snidey divers.

Yep, no guile at all in that midfield. It's all strength and running. Too many average players all over. I'm sure we had better starting 11's in recent tournaments.
