We ended up playing a midfield 4 and a front two that ALL wanted to drop into that 10 position. Fantastic players, terrible team. Missing a left wing and a DM, and can realistically only play 3 or at absolute most 4 of Scholes, Lampard, Gerard, Rooney and Owen

@TheDevilsAccountant Ex pros also say Gerrard is the best, difference is people said that about Gerrard while he was playing. Everyone knew Gerrard was the best when they were playing, it was only 10 years after they all retired when people suddenly started talking about Scholes. Gerrard was the only one to get in world XI's, UEFA all time XI's and got the most ballon d'or nominations, Scholes couldn't even get in the England team over him simple as that.
Rio has actually made unbelievable progress to become the most unbearable pundit.

He was great when he was great, and we can love him for his peaks in retrospect, but he was an absolute donkey for a good long while there and when people are living through that, of course they’re gonna look at him for what he was at that present time and not the past.

Egotistical nonsense. The current generation is the greatest generation of England players. Even Sven said the current generation is better than the golden generation he managed. Yes people know the legendary names of the golden generation, but forget that golden generation lack major depth in quality and outside of 14 players the rest of the England players were 2nd division level talent by today’s standards. They also don’t mention that teams like France, Italy, Brazil, Netherlands, Portugal, Argentina and Spain had much better players. The current generation are the second most successful England generation outside of the 1966 team with 2 semifinals and 1 final in senior football. Had unprecedented success for any nation at youth level with 2 youth World Cup and 4 youth euros wins in just 6 years. The current generation are closer to the best teams in talent than the golden generation was and in terms of depth of talent the current generation is far superior with 60 players who can play at international football level. Not only are England’s back up players are in massive European clubs like Tomori, Smalling, Abraham, Sancho and Dier, but big nations are stealing English kids because they England have so much talent. Musiala, the Nmecha brothers in Germany, Frimpong in Holland, Robinson, Musah and Balogun in the USA, Broja for Albania, Fabio Carvalho for Portugal, half the Nigeria team is English kids and Michael Olise who was born and raised in England playing France. Rio can’t handle that England pride better generation of players after his generation.

Teams today are outstanding too. Spain dominance came towards the end of the Golden Generation (Beckham and Owens weren’t at their prime in 2008); Portugal’s current team is better than back then; Italy yes back then was better; France had a stacked team during the golden generation but their current team may be more successful and in terms of talent the teams are not far off each other; Brazil doesn’t have the players that they once had but they might still be the most talented national team currently; Germany may have a better team now then back then. Now add to that teams like Belgium and Croatia which back then didn’t make much noise, plus teams from around the world being better too whether it be the big teams with Argentina’s Messi, or even smaller footballing nations like South Korea with Son, Egypt with Salah or Senegal with Mane; football is more global now and the competition is higher now than ever before. Of course it was difficult to win during the Golden Generation, but it surely isn’t easy to win now.

Germany now, Italy, Spain, Brazil, France - all nowhere near as good as they were 15 years ago.

But what I always say in defence of Neville is, most people consider Denis Irwin as one of the best LB's in prem history (though I think Ashley Cole edges it for me) but Denis was a RB, he only played on the left because Neville was on the right

Exactly. Except his speed Walker is below the average Right backs in every parameter. He can't play football, his decisions are very funny, he can't defend players who hold the ball and can dribble but not run. The fact Walker played for City & the fact that he achieved everything with them eventhough he is the least contributor has tricked everyone to consider Walker as a good right back. Even Arnold is a much better RB than Walker. Walker can't defend well and can't attack almost at all. He only can hold fast forwards just because of his running. He is a runner than a footballer. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Sorry Kyle🙌

Depends if you base it off club performance vs national performance. Rio and Terry are miles ahead of Stones and Maguire but based off England performances Stones and Maguire are the better picks

I mean club performances is now closer with Stones to Rio and Terry since all three have the same trophies and all three were important in really big seasons Rio for the double and 3peat in 08, Terry for the Prem in 04 and Stones for the treble/3peat and historic 4peat just last season, Magiure however 😅

VAR - That! is why we're doing so much better, yes we've improved in players and manager but there are so many times a decision went against us in crucial moments in previous tournaments before VAR
They can win all the tournaments but they winning in an Era where football skill level has gone down. Is not as competitive as before. Where you had powerhouses after powerhouses.

100% Kane can’t run with the ball he’s too slow and the only reason he’s scored more England goals than Rooney is because they’ve been penalties. He’s scored 64 goals and 21 of them are penalties. Rooney 53 goals and 7 of them penalties. Take the penalties away and Rooney has more goals.
We are absolutely rubbish ? Punters', football players just wtf internationally have they ever won !! Nish 🤔

the 2000s england team were bottlers, and incredibly slow.
Shining example of why everyone laughs at your punditry, Rio.
They already are ahead of the golden generation, 2 finals in 3 years
Should all get in . That squad for the ability was an absolute disgrace
That era should have lined up as such; Ashley Cole acting as a kind of attacking wing back who would drop back into a 4 man back line out of possession but push up and play as a wide player to balance the right side of Beckham in attack. The rest is self explanatory. James Neville Campbell Ferdinand Gerrard Lampard Beckham Cole Scholes Rooney Owen
The main difference is we now have players on the bench that can make a huge difference all over the park. The old team struggled after the first team.
Micheal Carrick & Owen Hargreaves. so underated.
Was anyone else expecting him to say “Pickford, because David James was shit”
That was the golden generation for everyone, this country is in bits now, we need reform. 😔
Interesting that this video didn't include Rio in the line up. It had Sol Campbell and John Terry.
Gerrard and lampard were never the same for England and achiever what
Other keepers making a save: 😊👏😎 Pickford making a save:😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬🤬
Saka and Bellingham winning the Euro would be just 😘
How the game is played right now older Legendary players especially like Scholes would have schooled(orchestrated) the game of football in absolutely brilliant ways. Also we have to take in account players don't need to foul or make fouls like in that eras and many other niches . For me football has evolved a lot I think one aspect players should focus on is following all the structures/ plans / tactics etc a team plays with they also should think and create or challenge the meta and do something new.
Every generation looks at the next and says, there weren’t as good as us.
I don't know why we were called the golden generation.... but at best, two of these new dudes could make our squad.
He actually said Hargreaves 😂
Wait until young Adam starts playing regularly for England in Midfield. He’ll be an England great.
The golden generation couldn’t lace the current crops boots. They were a total let down.
Yes but you have to remember the calibre of players during rio's time opposition wise was a level above anything you see today.
The real question should be how many of the golden generation would be in the team now. I think scholes, Rooney, Ferdinand and Cole
Wow look at that team. What a crime no trophies
The Golden generation is a bunch of brilliant individuals but they didn’t even reach any semifinals. The current team has done it more than once.
It would have been Nicky Butt in there for one of the midfielders and Lamps and Gerrard rarely played together in 442.
I'm amazed that eng team back then still won fk all considering the players they had
Literally all of them can be put in they've got a lot further than them consistently
Paul Robinson, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole on the left, Steven Gerrard, Terry, Ferdinand all start and then lots on the bench
And yet they have done far better in tournaments and qualifying than your whole team.
It doesn't matter if this team wins the Euros, you should always put thing in prospective
