Huge call to leave Hummels and Brandt out after the season they have had
EUROS 2024
Thought Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka would make the squad, then again I don't even know half the players in that squad!
HomeSteak I think either England(if they play Saka) or Romania will win this.
We're not winning anything with Southgate in charge. He's lived a charmed life to date but got found out in the World Cup. Shame the FA weren't paying attention.
Don Pacifico Bad managers with good players can still win tournaments, so I think there's a decent chance.
QuincyAbeyie depends how bad the manager is and how good Mbappe is.

Southgate dropping the hammer!
No initial spot for Rashford or Henderson is mighty bold.
Curious how he’ll fit Foden, Saka and Bellingham in, and if Palmer can sneak in.
and who starts on the left (Grealish vs Gordon)?
Quansah over Tomori is wild.
Adam Wharton really deserves the call up. What a superb player
Can't be fussed with sorting out defenders, but something like this may work nicely.
----------------Kane -------
-- Gordon -- Bellingham -- Saka --
--------- Rice ------ Gallahger ---
I'd also be curious to see if a Watkins and Kane partnership could work. Some sort of narrow/adventurous 4-4-2...feels like something Wenger could get humming along until the midfield gets exposed vs a top team.
------------ Watkins --- Kane --------
Grealish -- Bellingham -- Rice -- Saka
I expect Foden to play on the left. He will certainly start.
would be very southgateish to not start foden.

MistaT and who starts on the left (Grealish vs Gordon)?
he'd be mad to start Grealish over Gordon. Though he may start neither.
Palmer definitely shouldn't start either. The only question he needs to ask is does he play Bellingham deeper. If not then Foden left, Saka right. Simple. If he does then you have some questions on the left.

Southgate needs to show some balls and make difficult decisions and drop big players. He can't fit them all in and if he tried he'll just upset the balance of the team.
Also how the fuck is Grealish in the squad ahead of Sancho/Rashford? I am also surprised he dropped Rashford. Rashford has had a very mixed season but the whole Man Utd team is in turmoil. England don't really have many players who are genuine game changers, even off the bench Rashford would bring something different. Actually think being away from the Man Utd squad would probably do him good and he'd perform better.

Got a gut feeling Germany will win the Euros with Kai being their outstanding player
Favourites are France imo, after that you'd think maybe England but they have history of choking. I think Germany are definitely dark horses going into this.
