Cole Palmer England Player of the Year.

Well deserved. True legend.

Excited to see how England play against Greece on Thursday.

With players like Palmer and Trent coming into the lineup. Fresh new England squad that have won a lot at youth level.

i like Palmer but this is as odd choice. How many games did he play for England? What did he win with Chelsea?

Probably tells you more about how the players feel about Bellingham who was a key figure for England and won the Champions League given the award is voted on by the players.

It’s fan voting.

He scored Englands only goal in the finals.
He set up the winner in the semis.
He scored in the penalty shootout.

It’s true he only played 318 mins all year. But was highly impactful when he did.

He qualified for voting having played in 52% of games. Albeit most minutes were off the bench.

If you compare to Bellingham or saka who came 2nd and 3rd, he did more.
Both of those scored incredible goals to keep England in the competition. But other than that were quiet all euros. Especially Bellingham.

Ah that makes sense, for some reason I thought players voted. If it’s fans you can’t expect reason or logic.
