What a good feller he is. Even if the team bomb at this Euros, he has achieved something quite special I think: making the England team likeable and inspirational again after years of the public perception being that they were overpaid bottlers who didn t really care for the national side.Â
Could also be a draw, I guess
But in the immortal words of Private Baldrick: Well, to be quite frank sir, I didn t consider that eventuality.
Will England beat Croatia?
I suspect they probably will. If it was in a knockout round, I would say probably not. The Croats were worthy winners in the World Cup semi in 2018. But in a less pressurised group game sitch, I think England can probably do the job.
