    Before watching more: Not naming Phillipp Lahm when talking about German defenders (and even central midfielders) is a travesty. He was by far the best wing defender of the late 00's/early 10's and should always be named among the GOATs of German football

      ​@@Antibot2025And another England hater our media mostly Sky are awful they chat shit to get clicks. But ask the average Don down the Pub we never think we will win it we hope we will but we don't expect And don't think we will. This Year the Squad on Paper is absolutely capable of winning the Euros there is no disagreement there with England fans. Southgate is the biggest why we might not. There is divison there amongst us Some saying last Chance others saying he shouldn't even be the manager. Now another thing the song Football's Coming Home is irony we don't actually mean it in 1966 we hosted and won the World Cup we invented modern football. In 1996 30 years later we hosted the Euros and two Comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner who hosted the fantasy Football Show asked the English band the Lighting Seeds to write Three Lions aka Football's Coming Home as literally it was and we hoped that maybe after 30 years on Home Soil we could maybe win it. It was also used as the Marketing Slogan for that Tournament unofficially I believe. It became so popular we sing it everytime we do well. Out of Hope.
      Now The Media BBC and ITV on TV BBC are fair the criticise England if we do badly Praise if we do well. Sky have a nack on Saturdays during a Premier League season to get a bunch of Football UA-camrs to chat absolute Shit with wank opinions to target the Younger audience on Social Media for Clicks. Now I'm 20 I see right through I prefer the Match analysis by ex Pros. Now the Papers do the same. Sadly a lot of the world sees this. Now the other day I was eating my tea and the England Squad was announced and Jamie O Hara who wasn't a great player said This is the Best England Squad assembled. Despite the fact Harry Maguire was missing, our Left Back isn't guaranteed to be fit and a lot of young inexperienced players some of whom have good end of seasons are in there. For example Best Left Back would be Ashley Cole, Beat Centre Back along With Stones would be Terry, Moore, Campbell or Ferdinand. Best Midfield, Rice, Bellingham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Wingers Foden, Saka, Beckham, Grealish who wasn't named is useful for the impact, Barnes, Le Tissier, McManam, Midfielders also include, Gazza Strikers Kane, Shearer, Wright, Lineker, Geoff Hurst that would possibly be the best England side built with Seaman, Banks, Shilton in goal

No me da seguridad con el balón en el pie. Cuando le presionan o la presión alta del rival está instaurada en nuestro campo con mucho rival y no porque tenga un mal pie sino porque no elige bien cuando le piden actuar rápido y muchas veces el mismo se mete prisa con la salida y en vez de hacer tiempo porque en ese preciso momento no hay apenas presión y puede detenerse a decidir antes de pasar o dar un pase de seguridad pues decide dar un pase filtrado rompiendo líneas como si se creyese neuer y no es un tuercebotas pero tampoco es Neuer o Ter Stegen por repetirme. Y en el balón parado pese a que no le recuerdo una mala salida por arriba con españa, esto es más personal pero un portero de altura media,media-baja me trasmite siempre en cada acción esa inseguridad de que no llega.

The man was on another level. Ancelotti even admitted recently his biggest mistake in his career was not bringing Baggio back at Juventus, even when Zidane asked him to bring Baggio back, and it got him sacked ar the end of the day Baggio would end the season with 20+ goals and 10+ assists im less than 30 games.

    For Portugal I'm not sure I'd go with Eusebio. Eusebio is arguably the best ever portuguese player, on equal terms with Ronaldo (I can't place one over the other). But a striker's job is to finish the plays set up by the attacking midfielders, and in those positions Portugal is more than well provided, with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafa Leão, Vitinha and a rising Francisco Conceição, who can be one of the emergent stars of the tournament. So with this attacking potential we just need a competent finisher, and even an ageing Ronaldo, along with Jota and Ramos, can provide the goals. I think that Portugal's greatest weakness is in the center back. We only have one player who's at his prime, Ruben Dias. Pepe is 41 and injured, Danilo was never a top defender (more a defensive midfielder) and both António Silva and Inácio and still not fully matured. Therefore, I would bring a prime Ricardo Carvalho to play alongside Ruben Dias. I believe this would be an ironclad defense. And also, Nelson Semedo isn't the only right back on the squad, we also have Dalot and Cancelo, who are both right backs, although they can also play as a false left backs.

    With this out of the way: I wouldnt want to switch Andrich out. Yes, Matthäus would be an upgrade but Andrich is the type of Player Kroos needs next to him. He is basically prime Casemiro from Wish, which in this case is still really good. I agree with the Müller pick, but mainly because strikers tend to have a bigger impact than left backs, otherwise I would have gone for a left back.

    I think the most concerning for Poland is not the lack of creative midfielders. With likes of Piotr Zieliński, Sebastian Szymański and Nicola Zalewski, this team is capable of being an attacking threat.
    It's the defence which is everyone worried about.
    Poland lost goals in 5 out of 8 qualifier matches including loss to Moldova 3-2 and Albania 0-2 and two of them in which they didn't was vs Faroe Islands. Statistically Poland concedes moer than 1 goal per match. There is no stability there.
    Arsenal side Jakub Kiwior, even though talented, lacks a bit of defensive capabilites. Long-time Southampton defender Jan Bednarek is directly being called a pussy and noone believes he's gonna stop anyone competent, let alone Mbappe. And there is no permanent solution to half-right back as Poland plays back three. Whether it'd be Hellas' Paweł Dawidowicz, Lech Poznań's Bartosz Salamon or Heerenveen's captain Paweł Bochniewicz, noone's truly convinced towards any of them.
    The likes of Kamil Glik or Władysław Żmuda might be more helpful than Boniek.

    • @zosiazaremba7479
      @zosiazaremba7479 3 місяці тому

      The Pitbull would be fantastic in this team. Would allow the wingbacks and the rest of the midfield to stay forwards more and I think fix the goal problem as a result of that as well. Much more versatile than adding a strong attacker (If you need to, you could lock the entire field down with a back three and Davids)

  • @Sephcat
    @Sephcat 3 місяці тому +1

    Most of the names/choices I actually agree with but three picks.
    Spain, the nation who have great midfielders coming out of every corner and need a proper attacker atm, and you didn't even mantion El Buitre, Emilio Butragueno. Was a bit of a surprise for me. Croatia you have Bobek over Davor Suker, who is probably the only player with better stats than Bobek himself, if I'm not mistaken.
    As a Dane, we all know about the greatness of Michael Laudrup, but as a personality and character outside of the pitch, he was not that great. I'd even argue that if he had been at the 92 Euro's, we wouldn't have won! I'd much rather have a great attacker as Preben Elkjær or even his younger brother Brian Laudrup. With that being said, of course Michael is our greatest player of all time!
