England 5-0 Czech Republic: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis

#4 Young and Exuberant England squad

The future of England is in good hands

England has a wealth of young talent brimming in their squad ready to take the world football by storm. Among them, Jadon Sancho was brilliant on his first competitive start as his direct running, sharp passing and flamboyant tricks bamboozled the opposition and got the England fans out of their seats.

18-year-old Callum Hudson Odoi came on for Sterling to make his debut and played a bright cameo. It was his run and shot that resulted in the own goal by Kalas. Declan Rice too made his debut and put in a neat and tidy performance. In spite of missing many of its first team players, this team still cruised to an emphatic victory pointing to their incredible squad depth.

After an impressive World Cup campaign, Southgate has managed to maintain the optimism, positivity and feel good factor around the national team. The sky is the ceiling for England’s young team.

Wins against Spain and Croatia have further strengthened the belief that this team can go toe to toe with any opposition and lift silverware in the near future. Today’s win provided further proof that exciting times await the England team and their fans.
