Now another thing the song Football's Coming Home is irony we don't actually mean it in 1966 we hosted and won the World Cup we invented modern football. In 1996 30 years later we hosted the Euros and two Comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner who hosted the fantasy Football Show asked the English band the Lighting Seeds to write Three Lions aka Football's Coming Home as literally it was and we hoped that maybe after 30 years on Home Soil we could maybe win it. It was also used as the Marketing Slogan for that Tournament unofficially I believe. It became so popular we sing it everytime we do well. Out of Hope. Now The Media BBC and ITV on TV BBC are fair the criticise England if we do badly Praise if we do well. Sky have a nack on Saturdays during a Premier League season to get a bunch of Football KZbinrs to chat absolute Shit with wank opinions to target the Younger audience on Social Media for Clicks. Now I'm 20 I see right through I prefer the Match analysis by ex Pros. Now the Papers do the same. Sadly a lot of the world sees this. Now the other day I was eating my tea and the England Squad was announced and Jamie O Hara who wasn't a great player said This is the Best England Squad assembled. Despite the fact Harry Maguire was missing, our Left Back isn't guaranteed to be fit and a lot of young inexperienced players some of whom have good end of seasons are in there. For example Best Left Back would be Ashley Cole, Beat Centre Back along With Stones would be Terry, Moore, Campbell or Ferdinand. Best Midfield, Rice, Bellingham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Wingers Foden, Saka, Beckham, Grealish who wasn't named is useful for the impact, Barnes, Le Tissier, McManam, Midfielders also include, Gazza Strikers Kane, Shearer, Wright, Lineker, Geoff Hurst that would possibly be the best England side built with Seaman, Banks, Shilton in goal

[@cugash]

For Portugal I'm not sure I'd go with Eusebio. Eusebio is arguably the best ever portuguese player, on equal terms with Ronaldo (I can't place one over the other). But a striker's job is to finish the plays set up by the attacking midfielders, and in those positions Portugal is more than well provided, with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafa Leão, Vitinha and a rising Francisco Conceição, who can be one of the emergent stars of the tournament. So with this attacking potential we just need a competent finisher, and even an ageing Ronaldo, along with Jota and Ramos, can provide the goals. I think that Portugal's greatest weakness is in the center back. We only have one player who's at his prime, Ruben Dias. Pepe is 41 and injured, Danilo was never a top defender (more a defensive midfielder) and both António Silva and Inácio and still not fully matured. Therefore, I would bring a prime Ricardo Carvalho to play alongside Ruben Dias. I believe this would be an ironclad defense. And also, Nelson Semedo isn't the only right back on the squad, we also have Dalot and Cancelo, who are both right backs, although they can also play as a false left backs.

Hey Alfie A video about the rise, fall and redemption of OFK Belgrade would be pretty interesting. They just secured back to back promotion to the Serbian Super League They used to be powerhouses in Serbia alongside Red Star and Partizan. After their relegation in 2015/16, they were languishing in the 2nd and even 3rd tier of serbian football. OFK Belgrade is also one of the oldest clubs in serbian football with a pretty decent history.

Watching this after the Euros, and he's right about most of the teams here, especially France and England Oh, and Portugal too

[@LeeRenthlei]

I would cut off my toe to see Zidane in this current French team.

[@gazza6160]

20:22 As a Pole, this pronunciation hurts, but Boniek is a good choise!

[@EagleEyes77]

I love these videos and the rankings too.

[@theromalepe8600]

Lord Nicklas Bendtner for Denmark would light up the EUROs 🔥🔥🔥

I met his Dad once at a hotdog stand on the main square in Copenhagen. Not much of a claim to fame but there you go :)

[@mr.beamss9106]

Courtois wasnt left out he had a falling out with the coach because he started a whole fight over absolutely wanting the captains armband

[@skoczek777]

I think the most concerning for Poland is not the lack of creative midfielders. With likes of Piotr Zieliński, Sebastian Szymański and Nicola Zalewski, this team is capable of being an attacking threat. It's the defence which is everyone worried about. Poland lost goals in 5 out of 8 qualifier matches including loss to Moldova 3-2 and Albania 0-2 and two of them in which they didn't was vs Faroe Islands. Statistically Poland concedes moer than 1 goal per match. There is no stability there. Arsenal side Jakub Kiwior, even though talented, lacks a bit of defensive capabilites. Long-time Southampton defender Jan Bednarek is directly being called a pussy and noone believes he's gonna stop anyone competent, let alone Mbappe. And there is no permanent solution to half-right back as Poland plays back three. Whether it'd be Hellas' Paweł Dawidowicz, Lech Poznań's Bartosz Salamon or Heerenveen's captain Paweł Bochniewicz, noone's truly convinced towards any of them. The likes of Kamil Glik or Władysław Żmuda might be more helpful than Boniek.

[@zosiazaremba7479]

Yes, Żmuda and a younger version of Glik would immediately transform this squad. Although we have to consider Boniek's leadership qualities, his personality would most definitely make an impact

[@PassivesAbseits]

Funny thing is: Germany just got a legend back, but Kroos also plays at zentral midfield, a position, where the team is pretty stacked.

[@tomchamberlain4329]

Cole has to be one of the most underrated world class players I can think of. I think he's one of England's greatest ever performers, world class for a decade. Good choice. Shoutout to Bobby Moore who was even better but cb is slightly less problematic than lb

[@reverseflashplays8615]

Here after Maguire isn’t picked for England

[@nuno289]

Being Portuguese i would love to have Ricardo Carvalho in our defense as our current ones havent convinced to be honest. I think hes very inderrated and probably our best defender ever, Pepe close 2nd. We have had so many good attacking players over the years for example Figo, Rui costa, Futre, Nani, but i feel we have good attacking players at the present also.

[@brew_guy8947]

Alfi what are you talking about? Chapuisat did not win the ballon d'or! And Alexandre Frei is by far the better striker.

[@luchogonzealaise3717]

Vieira is a very interesting pick, I was scared you'd pick Zidane or Platini who are obviously brilliant picks but it's not really the side of the pitch where they need the most help atm. Some underrated picks would be Sagnol or Amoros for the fullback positions.

[@dafyduck79]

Wow the fact you mentioned Popluhar which almost forgotten here in Slovakia makes you a big expert in my eyes 🇸🇰

[@davydbubbles7613]

I think I commented something similar on the previous iteration of this video before the WC, but if rewinding an active player to their prime is an option (see Iniesta), then Portugal should most likely just rewind Ronaldo, no?

[@JigsawLV]

Panajot Pano sounds like someone was making fun of him for only scoring penalties

[@mrb6094]

14:38 Ivano Bonetti before he hit the big time in Cleethorpes.

[@KrollTheBigSquid]

I feel like at the end of these videos you should say who you think would be the favourites if everyone got their legend, and who would be the least improved
