I think 22 players in that 26-man squad have won a trophy in the last two seasons.
And when you look around there, you can see the quality, the individual quality.
And you have those individuals, the Harry Canes, the Wayne Roonies, the David Beckhams.
And when they're fit and they're playing to the level that they have been doing, like Harry Kane has this season, you know that you're always in with a chance.
I mean, he's going to get half a chance and he's going to get a goal.
You've always got a chance when you've got a player like that in your side.
He is vital to England.
You touched upon Jude Bellingham there.
Thomas Tuchel has proved that England don't need Jude Bellingham, but they're better if he's there on his game.
England need Harry Kane.
He's not a player who can be replaced.
Yes, they've got Ivan Toney, they've got Ollie Watkins in the side, they've got Marcus Rashford who can play there, but he is that pivotal to England.
England are nowhere near their maximum without Harry Kane.
He's that important to them.
