2022 World Cup
- Thread starter Blackleaf
- Start date
A former Wales player before the match said that England have the strongest squad at this tournament.
It just comes down to whether manager Southgate will use his squad wisely - starting the players that need to be started, bringing on the required substitutions and when necessary, his formations and tactics.
Having the world's best team doesn't mean much when your manager doesn't let it fulfill its potential.
Let's see.

Absolutely amazing in Group E tonight.
Spain and Germany knew they would qualify if they beat Japan and Costa Rica respectively. Most people probably thought it was a foregone conclusion that that would happen. However, Japan had other ideas. Germany did beat Costa Rica 4-2 but Japan - who had already beaten Germany - beat Spain 2-1! This means that Japan are group winners, Spain qualify as runners-up and Germany are out!
Bye bye, Germany.
Japan have beaten Germany and Spain. Can they win the World Cup?

Meanwhile, Belgium - the world's No2 ranked team after Brazil - are also out after drawing 0-0 with Croatia.
England, Brazil and France are looking very good - France lost 1-0 to Tunisia but fielded a weakened side having already qualified for the Last 16. One of those three will win it.
