Is this the best England chance to win this whole thing since '66?
It's a good one for you.
Good question.
Possibly.
W- w- we've got a couple of games to find out, but possibly.
Why do I say that?
Because it now has a manager who will do whatever is required to get this team over the line- Yeah or over a hurdle, through difficult times.
And he's not picked always star names.
It's not been a pers- a popularity contest with a Foden or, or, or a Cole Palmer.
He's picked specialists for special jobs to get it done.
And because of the manager more than, I would say, some of the players, I would say yeah.
That being said, I mean, you gotta give credit to Gareth Southgate, because he brought the program, Rob- Yeah from, from, you know, a little bit cliquey.
Not functioning.
Yeah.
Not being, kind of, better than the sum of their parts, to get pretty close.
Yeah, the club, people had that club affinity.
And, and even four years ago, like, England were relying on Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden.
Yeah.
I think Luke Shaw.
Yeah.
Harry Maguire.
So it's not radically different.
But you know what the big difference is?
There's one key difference here, and it's two front players.
Yeah.
It's Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
Yeah, world-class.
They were the peak of their powers.
Yeah.
They're world-class, they're at the peak of their powers.
Yeah.
