My England 1st 11 (currently fit) Butland Walker, stones, McGuire, Bertrand. Dyer, Ali, , lingard, lallana. Rashford, sterling 5 subs. Pickford, rose, Gomez, ox, vardy. Plenty of pace, attacking, bit of experience, plenty of youth. Could go either way. I'm going for quarters. Valiant defeat to someone good....Uruguay. History repeats itself with England.
He’s still got a decent chance of an England U21 call-up, he’s been watched a few times this season by the England camp, I doubt he’ll consider Wales until he thinks that interest has gone.
The OP has now been updated in full, with details of where all the players are traveling to. Irvine could be up against Henriksen and Grosicki could be up against Aina.
It's a bit imbalanced and it'd be like having a man sent off in the first minute but we could field a team from our players away on international duty. I'm amazed that our current squad are thought worthy of representing their respective countries though. In fact all things considered, I'm disappointed not to get a call up myself.
I see Liam Kelly at Reading has turned down the chance to play for Ireland, waiting for an England call up. Is this guy really good or something? Or are England really that ****? I find this really bizarre that someone at Reading is waiting for an England call up.
I’m not judging him on England performances, I’m judging him on club performances. You know, the basis for a call-up. And he’s been ****ing ****e for about 5 years, and was only ever average for his entire career before then. But taking your point about ‘if he was foreign no one would talk about his form’ and it being ‘trendy’ to knock him, let’s take the words of the Torino president, who is foreign to Hart and won’t be following any trend: “We probably didn’t expect so many mistakes”. https://www.football-italia.net/102519/cairo-surprising-hart-mistakes
Hart’s snivelling comments about Southgate are pathetic. ‘He’s always said my performances for him have been good and I think he’s a loyal sort of guy’. He needs to give his head a shake coming out with bollocks like that.
