Says England are close to winning a major tournament and he’s happy Southgate is still the coach 🤡
Hopefully he’ll continue as starting goalkeeper 🤪

I'm not as he is excellent. England are close to winning a major tournament, close but nae cigar close.

Thing is England don't have a proper league anymore.
Amazingly less than a third of starters in the EPL every week are English and I suspect most of them are the relative duffers.
As regards elite Champions League minutes played this season by English players they are 6th behind even Brazil players whose teams are naturally not playing in a European tournament although it does emphasise how many Brazilian players are plying their trade at elite European club level which acts as a finishing school.
I'm not seeing England winning the World Cup anytime soon.
 
I found a Norman Bishop but he plays under 18's England or something.Or was he the ice hockey goalie?
 
Pickfords actually a pretty decent keeper.

And tbf, they have come close, they're just never the best team at a tournament. Hopefully never are 😁
 
They have came close in recent years and in the past they have had very good teams which probably should have won a tournament.
In 1990 England had IMO their best team probably since their 1966-1970 squad, and had they won the shoot out with with Germany in the semi-final IMO would have went on to win the World Cup. 1996 presented them with another great chance with another excellent team and playing all their games at Wembley, but once again their nerve failed them on penalties. The Euros in 2021, well they should never have lost to an average Italian team especially having taken the lead so early on. As has been said they are a good squad, but for me they are not good enough to actually win a tournament. They forget that other nations in Europe will be improving in the next few years as well so whilst the Euros are a possibility it is still going to be very tough. As for the World Cup that's not going to be won again for a very long time if ever.

Pickford is a very good goalkeeper, but he should just concentrate on helping to ensure his club are still in the top flight next season.
