England v Czech Republic

Solid if unspectacular last night. Do I think we can "defend our way to the title" - no. We will play much better attacks than those faced yet. That said, our forward players haven't really gelled so there's more to come from us going forward as well.

Honest appraisal - face any one of Germany, Portugal or France and we're out.

i wouldn’t be overly worried about portugal

they were poor for 80 minutes against Hungary, got a very fortunate goal and Hungary fell apart in the last 10 mins.

then they got steamrolled by Germany, a team most felt are not great.

not saying Portugal would be easy by no means, But I wouldn’t fear them either.
 
I would strongly fancy England against Germany or Portugal. France would be very tricky, but I wouldn't fear them, and ultimately whoever wins this will have to beat france at some point.
