The back 4 and GK will do their thing, but this is International football and they out-talent so many teams. I'd just advocate 'attack.'

Your mids will hold and your back 4 can hold if supported. But you've got to be aggressive. Thats your strength.
They have to learn their lesson from the 2020 final. They scored in the first 5 minutes against Italy, at home, crowd going wild, and took their foot off the gas. They should have tried to kill that game off right then and there. As you said, with their talent, they should be taking it to everyone.
