Top Scorer (Last 3 Years)
Strengths
The most complete squad in world football — depth at every position. Harry Kane (22 goals in 3 years) leads a devastating attack averaging 2.19 goals per game. The meanest defence among all qualified teams at just 0.57 goals conceded per game. 9 wins in last 10 matches.
Weaknesses
Tournament knockout pedigree remains a question mark despite reaching two consecutive Euro finals. Can be conservative tactically in big moments.
Key Players
Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice
Our Prediction
Should dominate Group L. Among the top 3-4 favourites to lift the trophy.
