Some of whom went through a terrible ordeal after missing penalty kicks in Euro 2020. Their superfan hooligans are largely trash, but the team itself is very likeable in my opinion. Harry Kane and Declan Rice are as Irish as anyone on this board.

- I like the idea of anyone new winning it. - PMan, 2026-07-09, 09:19

- I quite liked that 2021 England team - HCE, 2026-07-09, 12:14
- Yep. Kane's dad's from Galway, Rice's grandparents from Cork - Jack, 2026-07-09, 11:14

Jack,
2026-07-09, 11:19
- He won it in 2018, just FYI - HCE, 2026-07-09, 11:22
- Yeah. I think France & Argentina are the most complete teams -
hobbs,
2026-07-09, 09:45
- Not sure how "complete" Argentina is -
BPH,
2026-07-09, 09:57
- Let me amend that. IMO ARG is the most complete team - hobbs, 2026-07-09, 10:20
- They're not complete at all. Completely fortunate so far. -
San Pedro,
2026-07-09, 10:11
- Their run defies all logic -
HCE,
2026-07-09, 10:21
- Yeah, but politically as Argentina's NT Coach - hobbs, 2026-07-09, 10:55
- I don't care for Messi, but his record is insane. -
San Pedro,
2026-07-09, 10:27
