I tend to be fairly pessimistic when it comes to England but if I try and be as objective as possible there are reasons for optimism for the Three Lions and at 7/1 there is value there. After the last couple of tournaments, they’ve perhaps been collectively patted on the back for their displays but the 2022 World Cup feels more like an opportunity missed and there should be a desire to put that right.
Jude Belligham and Phil Foden are already quality players and they will have another 18 months of experience or so under their belts, while the squad looks well balanced in all areas. I’m not totally convinced Gareth Southgate should have been kept on for another tournament but I still fancy England to go far, then get stopped whenever they end up facing the host nation and 5/1 favourites Germany.
