England Will Win The World Cup
You heard it here first.

England will win it soon but not in Qatar. It'll be too hot there.

Re: England Will Win The World Cup
England is showing a lot of weakness now, particularly in defense. They also still, classically, do not have a world class midfield orchestrator...yet again relying on being greater than the sum of the parts, which isn't easy for them.
Decade after decade since the 1970s, England still are behind top football nations in technique, football IQ, composure, and tactics. I think it would take a minor miracle for them to win. Recall last WC: they lost 3 games, having difficulty once they met quality opponents.
Can anybody name 1 great midfielder? Grealish, Foden, Mount, Rice, Henderson? Who's going to pull the strings?

I don't think it is that. For me, there are some nuances with the coach. But I don't think any coach in the world can get that much from England than can Southgate, foreign or domestic.
Consider the last WC. England was outclassed technically by Belgium and Croatia. It come down to players. Who do England have like De Bruyne or Modric? Being a Croatia fan, I'll also bring in Kovacic and Brozovic.
English football training and culture seems to emphasize running, tactics, athleticism, and, maybe I'm wrong here, conformity to a degree that degrades individual ego, guile, and leadership. Never mind the highest technical quality. Even when in possession, England seems to run harder than a Spain, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, or Croatia.
I love this topic because I'd like to see a good English team. Like 1966 and 1970. I love rewatching that England vs Brazil 1970 match, featuring Pele, Tostao, Jairzinho, B Charlton, B Moore, and so. Oozing with class, to a degree I have NEVER seen England play to again.

England always come out flying but once the other team settled down you see England retreat. It's because they don't have an orchestrator to run the show front the middle

I've opinionated on similar points herein, but many think I'm simply prejudiced about English/British football.
Premiership might be the best league in the football world due to its competitiveness but the better teams,
without doubt, have a lot of foreign influence in terms of players and coaches.
It's quite unfortunate that Nigerian domestic football, via coaching, have a lot of English influence. What with
a continuing display of those English attributes in the local league and players? Emphasis on athleticism, crowding the ball, long passes, and hopeful shooting from distance. Just to name a few shortcomings.
Again, your observations and dissection of English football is 'spot on'. Thanks.

Re: England Will Win The World Cup
^and yet, one would wager, the team that wins the jackpot will have covered more ground than any other (average mileage).
The English curriculum ordains substance over style. Athleticism holds hegemony, ‘tis their pursuit of all else that has brought their ascension to plateau and plummet.
Last 4 of the World Cup, runners up in the European Championship’s, not bad return on 4 or so years. Can they win the WC, not without considerable fortune and much luck, but can they definitely not? absolutely not. They’re in with a chance but must concede their limitations and extrapolate on their strengths.
The Nation’s League brought opportunity for experimentation which was overlooked, leaving Southgate with little else to do but stick with what he knows and hope for tournament-performance consistency.

As for a good player in the midfield, there's this guy that plays for Borusia Dortmund, Jude Bellingham who under a tactically aware coach and playing alongside that guy that moved from Leeds to Man City, Kalvin Phillips can be the springboard of a great English team.
But definitely not under Southgate. Never seen a coach so tactically clueless.

Regardless of the NT, if these guys are that good, they will be stars on big clubs. Again, can English players be that: especially in midfield? Great midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta became stars on their clubs, being spotted, developed, and put into their respective NT roles.
Not selecting them would be a crime. Is there really a comparable English player? A superstar of such heights that can lead the team...only for Southgate to be totally missing it?
