Youre a tad generous with your description of England as a millionaire, Michael...

Somebody called them a Ferrari earlier - being driven by a blind man. I really adore the entitlement... It's like they really cannot see what the rest of us know.

We absolutely stink and have still progressed further than Scotland have at any point in their entire history.

Congratulations on winning the We've still progressed further than Scotland have at any point in their entire history cup.

You must be so proud of your 'millionaire'

Not necessarily proud, just a bit embarrassing for you lads isn’t it.

Callum McGregor is a League 1 footballer.

You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how ludicrous that opinion is, Michael. That's what football forums are all about.


Best of luck with your 'millionaire'

Hi Michael.

I can only speculate as to the reasons why England have managed to bore their opponents into submission time after time, the ridiculously easy draws, and refereeing decisions constantly going their way.

I have come to the conclusion that Gareth Southgate his soul to Satan, Beelzebub, the devil incarnate.

It's the only explanation that makes any sense.

I'm convinced England will win so it'll be a nice surprise if they don't.

Cooee, Mick.

Beating Spain isn't for everyone.

If only England had a player of the calibre of Scott McTominay in their squad. He put the Spaniards to the sword in the qualifiers.

Quarter finalists.

They just don't have the talent. This is Germany, a country with more great players than they can even remember to celebrate. People like Günter Netzer, Bernd Schuster, Pierre Littbarski, Thomas Haßler, Matthias Sammer, and Michael Ballack are barely remembered here. I suppose that's what happens when you are merely great and get overshadowed by the likes of Seeler, Gerd Müller, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, and Matthäus.

Ok, I exaggerate a little, but this current squad is deeply ordinary. That defence is woeful, the manager will probably pick the wrong goalkeeper (who is basically finished), and when you are still finding room for Thomas Müller you know the next generation hasn't come through.

Don't get me started on Leroy Sane.

Germany's only hope is the team is lifted by home advantage, gets a good start, and people like Florian Wirtz and Musiala are inspired. Otherwise, they fall to the first good side they meet.

Germany. The new England.

Prescient.

They should be in a new European tournament for the likes of them .
faroe islands, Malta, San Marino, Lichtenstein, isle of man.
Give them a chance of actually competing.

Saying this as someone who follows Malta, they've got a decent little nations league group at the end of this year. Andorra, Lichtenstein, Moldova. Would be nice to get a few wins out of it. Having said that this is Malta and I'd be amazed if we won any of them.
