Again, it's going to sound like an excuse, but I do think it's maybe an underplayed part of the analysis of England's performances compared to other countries.
The Premier League?
Mbappe at Real Madrid for example famously doesn't do much defending and Dembele for example gets rested in Ligue 1 a lot so that he can prioritise the Champions League whereas England's best players are playing 65 games a season because they're going deep in the Champions League and every Premier League team is a much bigger challenge than the bottom half of La Liga or Ligue 1 and over long periods of time that will catch up with their bodies and Rice is the best example which again
makes the Mainu exclusion like if you're going to bring him and not play him that's the confusing bit um obviously Henderson breaking his arm doesn't help the fact doesn't help the midfield depth but we saw Bellingham have to play as an eight too often um
And yeah, like you said earlier, we knew that Rice was knackered and then the illness is unfortunate.
But to not have another midfield option there where, you know, we've ended up, I guess he was leaning on the versatility of players like O'Reilly and James and then Rodgers played there for a bit against Norway.
But yeah, the Premier League aspect of just how tired these players are going into the tournament is maybe underplayed in the post-mortem.
2010 Ghana.
I'll start it so I'll finish.
I've got a real thing for bad shirt numbers.
Ah, okay.
So a striker wearing number three really stuck in my head.
Like Clint Dempsey, I think, wore number two for the US as well.
Sorry.
What was the rest of the question?
Well, look, if England know I'm going to win, I've got to get a victory somewhere.
No.
A tiny bit.
We'll see.
Yeah, it was a good vibe.
