At Betfair we know that nothing is certain in football, least of all when it comes to England.

Maybe it really is coming home this summer. Maybe it isn't. Maybe we can squeeze three number tens into our lineup.

Maybe we've only got one ten and he plays up front. Maybe 48 teams is just too many. Maybe some of them aren't as bad as you think.

Everyone's got an opinion. Back yours at Betfair. 18 plus gamblerware.org. Hello, Sunshine. I'm Alexey

Lalys and welcome with the State of the Union show presented by Zillow. Someday starts today.

This is where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white and blue-colored glasses. On today's show, oh, the British are coming in our final group preview. But first, join me as always my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Mossy. A soccer savant and a Fox Soccer researcher and writer, extraordinary. All right, my friend, let's wrap it up here. Group L.

Group L features England, who, as we know, have not won a major trophy since the

1966 World Cup on home soil. That is now a 60-year drought. They're looking to end,

and of all places, the United States this summer. They've been knocking on the door of late.

Runners up at the last two Euros, semi-finalists at the 2018 World Cup, quarter-finalists in 22, but I actually think they were one of the four best teams of that tournament alongside Argentina, France, and Brazil, just the drawworked out where they had to play France when they did. They lost a hard-fought game. Harry Kane missed a penalty. Also in this group, you've got Croatia, who have finished second and third at the last two World Cups. Can they go on another deep run, led by Luca Modrich once again? And then you've got Ghana, who went out on the group stage last time. But remember, back in 2010, made it to the quarterfinals, went out to Uruguay, that controversial Luis Suarez

handball. And then Panama taking part of their second World Cup. I know you got a huge kick

out of them in 2018 when they were debutante. So here they are again. So we'll begin with England.

What do you think? Is it finally coming home? Oh, God. I hope not. The problem is that this is a really good england team i

was interested in um the you know the 26 and i do think that there is a desire to be we use the word

pragmatic a lot i mean i just think it's much more about being

realistic. The problem is that in doing so, I just hope that you don't take away

some of the flare and some of the attacking intent that we have seen with this team that,

like you mentioned, has led to their success.

And I know they haven't gotten over that final hump in winning a World Cup,

and they've done runners up when it comes to the Euros.

But still, this is a team that is consistently finding themselves,

not just in the later stages in the tournament, at times all the way to the
