My thoughts having seen us win two matches, and a moral boosting win against Italy, if we haven't shown the qulifiers for the finals, our way of playing and our robable best team, so they can analize how best to play against us - especially the best teams.

I do realize we'll be doing the same to them, so my question is, do you think we'll be good enough to overcome this scrutiny and progress to the final? 

I would like to hear what you guys think.

The key to England ticking seems to be Jude B. Not only his individual link up play and assists but he seems to give others confidence as well. With him in the team I see us scoring goals against most teams. The problem for me is any defence with Harry M in.

The problem for me is our Head Coach!
We have a real wealth of talent at the moment, and IMHO when they play for England they become absolutely obsessed with keeping possession, so the "risk" of taking a chance with a bit of individual skill, or an ambitious defence splitting pass, isn't taken - the ball is passed square, or back...... AGAIN.
This ultra safe approach has got to come from GS, and in my opinion it's stifling the players and creates an absolutely boring spectacle for fans.
