Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

So, the Australian media recently posted this "squad depth" of France, who are destined to destroy us in Russia:

A day or two later, the following collection of no-names, no-marks and no-hopers was announced for the March friendlies (the only time new coach Bert van Marwijk names a squad before the World Cup):

 

Goalkeepers: Mat Ryan, Danny Vukovic, Brad Jones.

 

Defenders: Aziz Behich, Milos Degenek, Matt Jurman, James Meredith, Josh Risdon, Trent Sainsbury, Aleksandar Susnjar, Bailey Wright.

 

Midfielders: Josh Brillante, Jackson Irvine, Mile Jedinak, Matthew Leckie, Massimo Luongo, Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Dimitri Petratos, Tom Rogic, Nikita Rukavytsya, James Troisi.

 

Forwards: Tim Cahill, Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse, Andrew Nabbout.

 

We got completely bummed in Brazil, looks like we're getting raped in Russia :(

I know at least two dudes from a football forum that I frequent for the last 10 years who specifically bought tickets to support your boys :lol:For some bizarre reason, your national team is quite appealing here. Have absolutely no idea why, probably nothing to do with Kylie and Hugh :lol:

If they're following us then at least they'll see goals!

 

One of my good mates is going, got tickets for two of the games and is confident he'll get a Peru ticket while in Russia. Experience of a lifetime, but so much footballing pain...

Is Lewis Cook any good?

 

I've been saying Welbeck is fucking average ever since I first saw him play, and here he is still getting in the England squad. At least his mediocrity doesn't stand out so much anymore.

A fully fit first 11 isnt actually that bad:

 

                  Shit keeper

 

Walker    Stones  Lascelles    Rose

 

              Dier      Wilshere

 

Sterling          Lallana          Rashford

 

                      Kane

 

Its just the everything around them thats utterly average/ shit.

serious lack of playing time recently for Stones, Rose, Lallana, Rashford (until a week ago): I'd play Alli and Shelvey for Wilshire and Lallana

Looking at the likes of Livermore & Cook, you can't blame someone for wondering why the far more talented Shelvey isn't in there, but it's all a bit meh really isn't it. Southgate probably has a defensive approach in mind and doesn't see Shelvey as someone who fits that as well as Cook for instance (although I disagree).

 

It's good to see Tarkowski in though, could have just as easily have been our captain but either way it's good to see a lesser known lad who hasn't been involved in past England setups included :thup:
