England reveals Euro 2021 squad - full list here!

After much anticipation, England has finally announced its final squad for the upcoming Euro 2021 tournament. The 26-man squad was named on Tuesday by Gareth Southgate, the manager of the English national team, who had to make some tough choices due to England's wealth of talent in almost every position.

The squad includes some familiar names like Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Pickford, and Marcus Rashford, who have been integral to the team's success in recent years. However, there are also several promising young players who have earned their spot in the squad through impressive performances in the Premier League this season.

The Squad

Here is a full list of the England squad for Euro 2021:

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Sam Johnstone, Jordan Pickford

Defenders: Ben Chilwell, Conor Coady, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice

Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling

The Youngsters

Jude Bellingham, a 17-year-old midfielder, is the youngest player in the England squad. Bellingham has had a standout season with Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga, impressing fans with his composed performances in midfield and his ability to play beyond his years.

Bukayo Saka, another young player, has had a breakthrough season with Arsenal, playing in numerous different positions and impressing with his versatility and technical ability. Similarly, Phil Foden, who has been a key player for Manchester City in their title-winning campaign this season, has earned his spot with some dazzling performances and goals.

The Controversies

As with any major tournament selection, there are bound to be some controversies. A notable omission from the England squad is Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool full-back who had been a mainstay in the team in recent years. Despite being one of the best right-backs in the world, Alexander-Arnold was not included in the squad, which some fans and pundits have criticized as a mistake.

Another controversial decision was the selection of Bukayo Saka over Jesse Lingard, who has been in terrific form since joining West Ham on loan in January. Despite his stellar performances, Lingard was not included in the squad, which some have deemed as unfair.

The Expectations

Despite the controversies, Southgate has emphasized the unity and harmony of the squad and has expressed confidence in the players he has chosen. England's team is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the tournament, with top-class players in almost every position.

With England hosting several games in the tournament, expectations are high for the team to make a deep run and potentially win their first major tournament since 1966. However, with tough opposition like France, Portugal, and Germany, a victory for England will not come easily.

Conclusion

England's Euro 2021 squad looks strong on paper and has the talent to compete with any team in the tournament. However, success in a major tournament requires more than just talent. It requires teamwork, resilience, and a bit of luck. Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether England can live up to the expectations and bring home the trophy.
