holy moly, I do think this is a great generation of footballers for Japan and this was just a friendly. But that definitely puts pressure on Germany's coach. 1-4 at home...

If Henderson plays a massive role in the game on Tuesday maybe it’s time to panic, but not running Bellingham into the ground in the first international window after he’s been carrying the Bernebau on his back seems sensible. Henderson’s also probably the most drilled at covering for an attacking full back out of the three, which lets Walker do more?

Think for me, the front six is less 3 & 3 and more 2 & 4/ 2 & 3 & 1, with those 4 interchanging a lot;

Ya it's crazy how much more fluid they look without Ronaldo. I do think Ronaldo has played well in the matches I saw him, he actually seems way less selfish when playing for the national team. But their front 3 should definitely be Leao - Ramos - Joao Felix. Ronaldo could be a great impact player off the bench but ya he has to basically retire otherwise its hard to bench him unwillingly.

They did it during the World Cup but Roberto Martinez is a cowardly manager so I doubt he'd have the stones to do it.

Ya and Ronaldo had a argument with the manager about it. Also the guy got sacked since they lost the quarters but their best performances were without Ronaldo starting or when Ronaldo would get benched. I am sure Fernando Santos's relationship with Ronaldo had something to do with the sacking and not just losing in quarters closely to Morocco. If they sacked their Euro winning manager, I do think they won't have a problem with sacking Martinez if he pisses off Ronaldo. Ronaldo is too important to the FA and brings them a lot of money. If Ronaldo had a brain he would know he has a better chance of winning if he was starting on the bench. This Portugal side is absolutely stacked with talent, they definitely could win with Ronaldo still featuring off the bench. But Ronaldo thinks too highly of himself, which was fine when he was younger and the best player in the world but it's his time to take a different role. Or if it's humiliating for him to stay on bench he should retire from international.

You need atleast one player who isn't getting any game time in the starting 11 with Maguire on the bench.

I really play Scotland wallop England just to see the English media rip Southgate apart. He has enough goodwill to get through the Euros but his football is boring and he has outstayed his welcome.
