In the coming days, an identity battle will play out between Gareth Southgate's England and Jack Grealish's England. The winner may determine the Three Lions' progress at Euro 2020. Southgate's England is already familiar to snoozing millions. The first two games...

But the football is dull and it'll end in the round of 16. Southgate's England cannot prevail against any of the waiting giants from Group F.

Southgate's England might offer the obvious counter-argument that in all three games, two narrow leads and a decent draw discouraged reckless attacking. But Grealish's England offered a viable alternative. He set up the goal and floated where he pleased, encouraging the energetic Bukayo Saka to do likewise on the right side of a 4-2-3-1 that woke Harry Kane from his slumber.

Why can't they play like this all the time? What can't they entertain, rather than exasperate? How can a maverick like Grealish not be accommodated in the first XI? But, in the last two years, Southgate's innate caution has been routine, as evidenced by his preference for a double pivot. Similarly in Group D, the three fixtures were controlled, rather than dominated.
