England always carries a burden during international football tournaments due to excessive pressure put on them by both their fans and the media.
The three Lions have always been a team to fear, but not necessarily favorites. But after their dominating performance against Iran can we put them along with Brazil, France, Germany, Spain, and Belgium as outright favorites for the World cup?
English fans always cried about how their golden generation did not achieve what their potential promised on the national stage, but they seemed to be missing the fact that the current crop of players are exceptionally gifted athletes capable of winning any team on their day.
They currently boast an attacking lineup of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and Callum Wilson. that’s an array of attackers so diverse in their styles that every substitution has the ability to turn the game on its head.
Roberto Carlos praise Trent Alexander Arnold as a prodigy yet he was stuck on this talented English sides bench. This is a squad that can gather a team without the likes of Jadon Sancho who was left out of the World Cup.
The redemption story of Bukayo Saka was beautiful to see as the forward bounced back on the International stage to put in a stunning performance where he registered a brace.
The next opponent for The three lions are the young but wildly bright USA team, any hype about the potential of this England squad will be tested against a side with a more aggressive attitude.
