:laff: Sandro Wagner went to Bayern for nothing (yeah he won the league :ld: but he went to make the world cup squad) :laff:

Might be able to expose the left back position for Germany.

Only concern Germany will have is fitness as there are quite a few players in the squad who usually do themselves some sort of mischief.
Reus:sadcam:

Good young attacking full back, but :flabbynsick: centrebacks.

Good midfield of youth and experience, but nothing really outstanding apart from Ruben. Most have failed to deceive when they've move away from Portugal

Forwards once again nice blend of youth and experience, but goddammit still calling up Quaresma in 2018 is :laff: , let Gelson shine. Nani is whatever.


Oh yeah they have a C dot. :mjgrin:

Who else can they call besides Quaresma?

Portugal can shock people, if Carvalho can protect that back line. I hope Ronny Lopes makes the final squad.

Joe Hart sent to the bushes :blessed:

But at the same time, his experience could of been useful as that is what the squad lacks.

Hopefully the squad is something like this

Pickford
Butland
Pope

Stones
Maguire
Jones
Dier

Walker
Trippier
Rose
Young

Henderson
Wheelchair
RLC
Lingard
Dele
Lallana
Delph
Shelvey

Rashford
Harold
Sterling
Vardy

Young provides cover for both WB slots.
Delph provides cover for LWB and centre midfield.

Not a fan of Shelvey as he can be liability, but he plays the Hollywood ball better than anyone else.

Jones or Cahill:mjgrin:. I take Sloth, makes better meme faces.

It's a shame Gomez is made out of wet tissue, he would of gone.

Outside bet is Cook.

Thats what the manager is there for surely - Hart was never playing

Nah, international football looks a step way above for Livermore. Every game I've seen him play he has been :snoop: he would be a decent goon if football was still played that way. He struggled in qualifying matches and you saw how pony our group was. Tbh I wouldn't take Shelvey, but he plays the Hollywood ball better than Henderson does, which would fit well with the WBs, Dele, Lingard, Sterling, Vardy and Rashford pace and movement.

Outside of Cahill :hhh: no one else has 50 or more caps.

The 3 keepers who will be going will have no major tournament experience at senior level, it does make a difference.

What I mean is, make no real difference bearing in mind Hart wasnt gonna play anyway - he been piss poor.

A manager should and does guide players who haven't had the experience

How you meant to get experience anyway

We will be out Qtr finals anyway, I expet to beat Tunisa and Panama no probs, we will lose to Belgium but would have qualified, based on the winners of the other group we should get a team we could beat, Qtr finals would be one of the faves where we crash out.

If our best GKs in England cant handle Tunisa and Panama we have more issues TBH.

Hart has the Free Head and Shoulders samples along with Henderson and Lallana bringing the Nivea we'll be the best groomed squad in Russia.
