For total misunderstanding of my post, or the one that preceded it - this takes the fucking biscuit.
I understood your post - that the team wasn’t actually that young.
I just happen to think that’s ridiculous - ok so you seem to be referring to the starting line up to qualify your statement, of which only 3 were alive when England last played in a WC semi, two of which were alive by a matter of weeks, players like Alli (22), Sterling (23) stones (24) Pickford (24) Kane (24) Maguire (25) Lingard (25) - are all young. That’s 7 of the starting team aged 25 or less.
You then bizarrely use the example of France who have the youngest side in the tournament as some sort of qualifier for what you are saying, as if that makes our players suddenly 10 years older.
