Last World Cup aside, England often look tired when a summer tournament comes around. After the pandemic and back to back seasons, it just seems that tiredness is even greater than ever. Play Bellingham, Trippier, Sancho and anyone else who hasnāt been subjected to the gruelling demands of an English season.

We look shit, no Bellingham mistake, Rashford isnāt on it, would have taken Ings, Kane playing deep ball like heās fishing it out for Spurs wtf is going on.
Foden coming off was mad, get Saka in there on the left, anyone that actually wants to fucking run at players. 2nd half was dead as fuck.
We play a good first 10mins and get fuck all done though! Itās very disappointing - we made Grant Hanley look like I decent CB ffs.
Fully agree.
Hold up a second, from a neutralās POV*, Scotland played very fucking well to contain that much, albeit misfiring and underperforming, talent and hold England to a 0-0 draw, and it was an entertaining one from what I watched. I think a draw was definitely a fair result for both teams, but going into it, I was expecting England to win 2 or 3-0.
The English team seemed to be playing just ok, while Scotland were fired up for it far, far more, obviously knowing another loss would put them out altogether and hoping to avoid another 4-1 repeat of 1996. One thing which I thought was interesting was how much play went through Robertson and how left-sided a team they are, probably on account of Tierney at left back and Robertson at left mid.
It definitely wasnāt the strongest England team - you could see the fansā excited reactions to shots of Grealish warming up, so I donāt get why he wouldnāt be starting in place of Mount or Kane and put Sterling in Kaneās position. Englandās strength in depth is ridiculous, particularly with attackers (I guess similar to 2010ās midfield of Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard and Iāve forgotten who, Beckham?) yet they need to get it together over the next 2 games to make sure they have the quality connection as a team to get to the semis, maybe even win this.
*Nah fuck it, what am I saying, of course I wanted Scotland to win, ha.

I disagree on your tiredness point. Bellingham and Sancho were regulars at Dortmund, who under Klopp, were masters of gegenpressing, and this how they still play. And, like LFC, left it late to qualify for the CL next season, along with winning the Pokal Cup, their version of the FA Cup. Trippier played every single minute of Atleticoās title winning season just past, so yeah, heād be tired too if that were the case.
He missed 10 games. And youāve seen the lack of intensity in some La Liga games - there arenāt as many which are as truly competitive as in the PL - also Spain only has one domestic cup competition. Or have I got that wrong?
Anyway, my bigger point is we need to play with a higher tempo somehow and create chances. But that was obvious.
