I said Jay, before you tell us whether you agree with Bukayo Saka, we're going to have a look at some of the other top ranked nations, okay? So, you've got England's front four there from the other night. But, if we go to the reigning world and European champions, Spain, you can see their front four. You've got Lamine Yamal, who we've been talking about, Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, and Mikel Oyarzabal, who actually isn't even a natural striker, but does, well, certainly scores very important goals for Spain. So, that's their front four. What about Argentina? We've taken Lionel Messi out because he's retiring from international duty after his final game. So, we've got Julian Alvarez, we've got Lautaro Martínez, Giuliano Simeone, and Nicolas Gonzalez, who started at the World Cup. And we'll move on to Brazil as well. You've got Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha, uh you've got Rayan and Matheus Cunha we've put in there. And finally, France. So, France have got Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, Désiré Doué, and we've got Michael Olise as well. So, Saka thinks that England's front four can be the best in the world. What do you think compared to those other nations? >> Well, in terms of Spain, and again, I'm just going to play for play. The only player that is getting in that team from Spain is Yamal. I would say Yamal is better than Saka. Um so, I will I will go and say England's better than this front four. >> Okay. >> Right. Then, Argentina, you don't need to bring them up cuz none of them are going to get in it. >> Okay. Yeah? So, so England's better than them, fine. >> Yeah, England's better than them. >> Who do you want to >> the only player that you would put in really is Vinícius um on the left-hand side ahead of Gordon, apart from you can take them down as well. Um and then France. France is the one where you're like, "Wow." Like, I'd probably I'd put Doué ahead of Gordon. I'd put Mbappé like right now, right now, because obviously Kane's Kane's at the end of his career now. Even though he's been fantastic and he's scoring goals. >> was a World Cup final tomorrow >> would well, the next to say the next World Cup. >> Yeah. >> The next World Cup >> I'd go Euros cuz they're both in the Euros. England and France are in the Euros. >> Okay, Euros. I'd I'd I'd put I'd put um Mbappé in there. >> Ahead of Kane? >> Yeah, because he's he's more athletic. He's going to run around. He's going to get involved. And then I mean, it's not even a question for for Alisson. >> So Alisson on the right side. >> It does does Does Dembélé play on the left or does Dembélé play play play play play >> Or does he play 10? >> I know. Bellingham's playing ahead of >> No no no, I'm No no no, I'm saying but for France, does he play at 10 or does he play wing? >> I don't care where he plays. He's in the team. >> Yeah, fine. >> and and Dembélé For me, I'm looking at Dembélé. Dembélé is a left, I would say. I'd say >> see. >> Yeah. >> That's what I'm asking. >> He plays at the 10. >> Right. >> Alisson >> For France, Alisson he plays right. Fair enough. So he'd be right wing for France. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, fine. Fair enough. Right. Okay, so but Mbappé ahead of Kane. So all in all, you think they're front four >> I mean, listen, overall >> kingdom, you've got them ahead of England. >> Yeah, I say them then England. And so forth. >> forth. Okay. >> But I I Listen, again, yeah, I think England are really strong. And by the way, let me give honorable mention as well cuz Anthony Gordon cuz I was talking about Anthony Gordon from about 3 years ago. I was saying I wish Arsenal signed him cuz he's a great player. Now you're starting to see how good he actually is. Now he's playing with a top side. That's how good Anthony Gordon is. He's got his energy. He runs forward. He does a hard yards back. He's link-up player. He arrives in the box. He's he's got the He's got everything in his game. Again, Bellingham, one of the best midfielders in the world already. Kane, arguably, you know, the best number nine, you know, of his generation even. >> [snorts] >> Um And Saka's Listen, Saka, there's no doubt about it. I love Saka. He's you know, he's Arsenal through and through. He's from, you know, from London. But I'm looking at Saka and I'm saying Saka, 5 years ago, that he He more direct. And his numbers, you know, his numbers have been top. But if you said to me, is he better than Jamal? I can't say he is. I think Jamal is a better player than him. I think like if Elise was to play on the right-hand side, he would be a better player than him. I just think that. But there's no doubt about it, Saka's a great player. But the four, as a four, that's top. I think the worrying thing for England going forward is more the back line. And that used to be one of our best things, the back line. Now, we look at that and say, the only way I believe England can go and win a major, which is the Euros and the World Cup, is if we sort out that back four and then these players are on it. But then you look at it and say, is Kane going to be in the World Cup? I think he'll be in the Euros for sure, cuz it's only two years away. But the World Cup, I'm not sure about that. Who's going to play in that position?
