On paper our squad is outstanding, whether they can be brought together as the best team is a completely different challenge and achievement. So in practical terms no we're unlikely to be... |

I admit I'm no expert but I don't see many of our lot getting in France, Spain, Portugal, Argentina teams. We have nailed on starters who haven't been able to hit a cows arse with a banjo this season and others who can't do 2 consecutive games without snapping a hamstring. I like tuchel but think the media are seeing things that don't exist. |

"Is it? I've just heard another radio show explaining how we are winning the world cup. Are we really better than the rest? "
🤷♂️ only South American teams have ever won in the “Americas” … but I suspect this is another one for Spain |

I haven't seen enough to convince me we'd get beyond the semifinals but the quality in general for football has been getting worse over the years so we might have a chance. |

Brazil, Germany and Italy are all a bit average at the moment. Our squad probably rivals that of Spain, Argentina and France but they all have a bit of world class quality and belief that we always seem to lack. Can see why we're in the conversation but really can't see us doing it. |

Maybe half a chance if they are gifted as easy of a route to the final as they were in the euros (which they still almost fucked up haha) although they did give us a good game in final (Spain supporter here on account of being quarter Spanish haha) |

I've always admired your pure belief, undying & unshakeable confidence every 4 years.
God help us all if you ever do,,, you've been banging on about 66 for 60 years now. |

"We have so much talent there is no reason we shouldn't make it to the final. Tactics and ego will be our downfall.
That and false optimism and unshakeable belief that we are any good."
Also fatigue. The prem is the toughest league in the world. Some of these players are exhausted by the time the summer comes along. I do think other nations benefit from having a winter break, a less competitive league and a more relaxed attitude. Strength and conditioning will play a big role. So many factors. |
