Depth in the squad was England’s advantage over every team in this tournament IMO.

I don’t think other teams have the game breaking talent on the bench England had available to them.

Not making a sub until the 80th minute once you’re down 2-1 wasted that advantage completely.

IMO Portugal had some similar issues. Leao, Vitinha, Cancelo, could have been starting in a more attacking oriented squad IMO. And it’s always tough to not start Ronaldo and then lose a game 1-0.
