Kane looked fucked against USA. Should be starting Callum.

 

 

 

 

Never going to happen is it

 

First name on the team sheet.

Sargent  

[Billy Warthog]

We'll probably win, but it'll be unconvincing as usual. 

 

Prove me wrong...! ?

 

[dorty]

I fancy Iran to beat the USA.

[nemtizz]

My interest levels in England drop so low without Trippier in the team.

It's still England.

Part of me wants to watch the Iran - US game instead, think it'll be a more interesting game.

Definitely will be and that's what I'll be doing. Got no time for either England or Wales admittedly but cant see it being good.

Either easy for England, turgid struggle for England or Wales hanging on to something.

[Cronky]

A totally incoherent selection by Southgate, but I don't think Wales are good enough to take advantage.

 

And yeah, I'd much rather watch Iran - USA.

What happened to that shit hot Spanish kid that plays for Dallas? How is Sargent our best choice?

They literally just did a feature on him and everything, right before the team got announced. Whoops.  

[Miggys First Goal]

If Wales get an early goal, could be interesting.

[Astroblack]

Hope he proves me wrong but I’ve never seen Foden have a good game for England. More of a system player imo.

Fuck's sake.

[Disco]

Can Weah not play upfront?

He can, and given that Sargent has had a decent season for Norwich playing as a right-sided forward, it probably makes more sense to swap them around.

[Yorkie]

Bet Foden does absolutely bugger all as is customary in an England shirt. 

 

Hope we get the game won early on and Wilson gets a run out. 

 

Potential egg on my face but feel very confident. Imagine it'll be a routine 2-0.

Four players out of eleven are not defensive minded.  

 It could still get worse, five at the back and he would sacrifice one of the forwards. Although it’s usually a stretch to call wingbacks defensive in that formation.

[cubaricho]

Oh my god that “it’s called soccer” chant on Fox. What the fuck.

[Ste]

Again, no idea which side is going to turn up. 
 

Id like to see some bravery, we looked shell shocked vs USA and nowhere near positive enough in possession. First thoughts when receiving the ball should be, how far can I carry it and where’s the forward option. 
 

The players are good enough, just lacking initiative and belief. Wales have the potential to cause an upset, we need to rid them of their belief early doors. Set a standard and raise it. 

[Mike]

Apparently the kid from Dallas is there, and he's gotten 0 minutes. 7 in 15 for the team already but no chances up until now. Odd.

He’s your most talented player imo.
