In my opinion, England has never been a bad team. They’ve always had elite players and were often among the favorites to win. Croatia knocked them out in the 2018 semifinals, Italy beat them in the euro final, and France eliminated them in Qatar in 2022. When you look at their squad, it’s full of top class players who play for the best clubs, but the chemistry and the coach’s choices have never really worked well together. They are still a quality team, but whether they can prove themselves now  we’ll see. They are the favorites in the group, but i still think Croatia will be a tough challenge for them.
England is always one of the best soccer team with back up by good system and strategy, but sadly they have never been capable of winning in big event, this is always dilemma for them and their fans. England produce too many big names, but they have never been ideal as a whole team which can bring good moment for them.
I don't see the English team as powerful as you guys see them, if I were fair here. I would rather say of the team that I see more of weakness than strength. If you take a careful look, most of their wins were luck, and it was obvious, unless you guys do not want to look towards that angle. Big name doesn't translate to effective coordination, and a national team is different from a club team, so coordination and feat display vary even if it is the same personalities. And in this coming World Cup, I don't see anything different to watch from them.
