Wembley and away at Montenegro.

After winning their 19 th game on Monday night under coach Gareth Southgate, some punters have
started to use the
Genting bet promo code 2019 when looking for odds for England to win their
upcoming games. It needless to say that their strong performances have highlighted how much they
have come through in recent games.
This comes after they remarkably finished in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia, after losing
to finalists Croatia, and later in the year making it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League
against a resurgent Holland, the games will be played this summer.
When examining the England games, it is no surprise that the star performer has been the
Manchester City attacking winger, Raheem Sterling. He has scored four goals in the last two games,
and it seems he is finally bringing his superb club performances to the England team, something he
has been accused of not doing far too many times by football pundits and fans alike.
Other rising talents in the England team now include Borussia Dortmund’s 19-year-old Jadon Sancho
and Chelsea’s 18-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi. It is no coincidence that the latter two players are
getting a lot of
attention from other big clubs who are willing to break the bank to have them playing
for their teams, the reason for this is because they are now showing they are key figures in
Southgate’s attacking line up.
The style of play which was developed under the England coach in the last two years allows naturally
gifted players like Sterling, Sancho and Hudson-Odoi to play free football, often cutting inside from
the wing, all at the same time, making defenders step out of position and therefore expose other
England players who are able to simply tap in the ball into the net when facing a goalkeeper on a
one-on-one situation.
If in previous years England were the laughing stock of the major European teams, as they always
seem to falter against weaker teams, today England are without a doubt one of the strongest teams
along with France and Spain.
All they need to do now is start winning some silverware, with their eyes already set on the UEFA
Nations League trophy as the one that may have a domino affect on the other competitions to come
in the next four years.
