England certainly have a chance of winning Euro 2024 but actual World Cup runners-up France have to be the favourites, while hosts Germany will be contenders. The idea that anything less than winning a major tournament is failure is ludicrous. ‘I’d like to see us get a bit ‘Dennis Wise’. Wisey used to shake opponents’ hands, scrape them with his nails and stamp on their foot as he did it.’
“If you looked at the French team, it was one of the weakest France sides we’ve seen. When I played them in 1998, they had Zinedine Zidane, Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira and Didier Deschamps as their captain – these were players who could turn the game. Redknapp was indeed part of an England team that faced France in 1999 but what he does not mention in his roll-call of the star-studded France team is the England XI, which contained David Seaman, Tony Adams, Paul Ince, David Beckham, Alan Shearer and Michael Owen. They were hardly chumps.the midfield was over-run in embarrassing fashion’. That will be you, Redknapp. And yet you are somehow now in a position to say that this modern England side should have done better.
“Any young, English, Premier League manager worth their salt would have gotten England to the quarter-finals, when you look at the teams we’ve played.”Of course it’s all bollocks because plenty of England teams have not made it to the quarter-finals of major tournaments, and certainly not to at least the quarter-finals of three successive tournaments.
