[Kunty McPhuck]

England squad gets announced and a World Cup winner from 66 has died.

@ Cahill. Only going because he has experience.

 

[Bboystyle]

maybe Spain depending on how well Diego Costa does

France

Team full of brothas gonna show out

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

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

TAA

Cahill


Wele


I have no issue Wele going, always plays well for England and can cover all roles across the front line.

Cahill going because of experience and he plays in a back 3. He's just an accident waiting to happen.

TAA nice tidy player, hasn't looked out of place, when I saw him play in the CL qualifiers. Had seen him play for the England youth teams, so I knew he was good, just wonder how they cope when they step up to senior level.

France never had a combo of Dembele and Mbappe in attack though. That could just be enough to win even with Deschamp incompetence

Kinda surprised Cahill made the squad but Smalling didn't

If he didn't know how to play in a back 3 and previously stole 50 + caps, he would be sitting on the beach.

i'm not sure they can lead a team to the World Cup

England's midfield is weak to me

It's better than shoehorning Gooney into midfield.

I don't know who else you would want. Livermore?

Wheelchair and Lallana bodies cannot be trusted. Lallana is unlucky, he got injured early into the season, rushed back too early and did himself another mischief, which set him back and he hasn't been the same since.

Chalobah and Winks been injured.
Cook isn't a defensive midfielder.
Shelvey is probably unlucky, but he has temperament issues and when you already have Alli, you can really only have one.

Hopefully Bossgate plays a 3 man midfield. Dier and Henderson playing in a 2 vs Panama and Tunisia is .

:neymarlol:

Neymar slid through like

 

[TTT]

Delle is listed as a midfielder but he might as well play as a second striker. If they can drop Hart they can do that to Cahill.

 

[phcitywarrior]

6 full backs for England though
