England are the team to beat at next summer's European Championship. There are no more excuses or mitigating factors for coach Gareth Southgate and his squad to fall short again.
Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, John Stones, Kyle Walker, plus Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Declan Rice and Marcus Rashford, are players who would walk into any national team in Europe. England have them all either in their prime, or approaching it, as they prepare for their Euro 2024 campaign in Germany.
