2) After reaching the Euro finals twice in a row, what will England do next?
3) With relegation to English League B, what will be the result of the first game?
4) When Lee Carsley takes the reins, what will England look like?
All the answers were found during the 90 minutes at the Aviva Stadium, particularly point 4, which was released hours before kick-off, and it appeared ยูฟ่าเบท that the former Everton star, who has been in charge of the Young Lions’ Under-21s since 2021 (and has taken charge of the senior side as caretaker manager), had opted to install a 4-3-3 formation for the Three Lions.
Jordan Pickford is the old goalkeeper, while Marc Guehi and Harry Maguire are the centre-backs, while Levi Colwill and Trent Alexander-Arnold are the two full-backs.
