PieEater Ascotexgunner Portugal for me. Got a really decent starting 11. I think England might bomb, They just look a bit fragile at the back and if they go a goal behind the plan B of TAA just throwing balls in the box won't work.....
It's not just the fragile defence, the whole team of talented players seem clueless how to play as a team or with any sort of system.
Compare that to Germany, who arguably player for player aren't as good yet each player knows their system and as a result they play a lot better.
They might as well play an open game and try to score as many as possible as I can't see them hanging on to any lead.
Neuer > Pickford
Walker > Kimmich
Rudiger = Stones
Tah > Guehi (close call)
Kroos > Rice
Andrich = TAA ( at what being a CM is)
Bellingham > Gundogan
Musiala > Foden
Wirtz > Saka
Kane > Havertz
England 3 Germany 5 equal 2
Appreciate the Musiala and Wirtz opinions might seem strange to those who only watch the PL, but Wirtz was player of the season in Bundesliga with 18 goals and 20 assists, in a team that got to the EL Final. And Musiala is a generational talent in a team that got to the CL semi final.
Saka is a great player as is Foden, but I dont think its clear cut they are better than their opposites in the German side.
