    Especially since Rose somehow has.

    At least if Bertrand does take Rose's place in the spurs Squad this summer it will give me something to laugh about.

    No huge issues there for me, I would liked to have seen Lallana make it and I'm sure Young will play over Rose anyway.

    Back 3 with that squad surely?

    Glad Pope is included. Fully deserves his place.

    So long as you are not shipped out there, all will be fine.

    PS: I am having a BBQ on Saturday!!!! And I won´t be watching the Cup Final either.

    Shame no-one at club level to follow.

    Noticeable that none of our young talent that we have sold for good money over previous seasons have made it either

    The likes of clyne, chambers, lallana, Shaw, all potentially the next great things not found the consistency. Morgan was around the France squad when with us, no where close after he left. Could argue that Ox would have gone if not currently injured.

    Heaton and Livermore as back ups while Bertrand missing out for Rose who barely played all season is annoying but agree with a fair portion of the squad. Poor Bertrand.

    I think it's true that Theo's only World Cup was the one he went to aged 17 when he'd only played for us.

    I'd be slightly annoyed if he was tbh. He's looked pretty disinterested for most of the season.

    Every coming tournament the quality of english squad is just getting lower and lower.

    So Lallana goes to the World Cup as a Saints player, but misses out as a Liverpool player. I may allow myself a little smile at that.

    Possibly because if they were still in our team, they’d have been guaranteed a place unless injured and (possibly) been able to showcase their talents.
    Too much time spent on the bench for many of them, so less chance of going.
    But, to be honest, do players REALLY bother about going to play for their country these days? I somehow doubt it, personally

    Don't understand why I get warnings about things of a sensitive nature when Romeu posts, but a picture like this can just appear on my computer without any warnings at all. And me with a dodgy ticker and all.

    As if by magic, another Romeu tweet with sensitive material....ps there won't be any....just any photo of Romeu is censored. Hope he's not of a sensitive nature. :).

    As the World Cup is being discussed on the next manager thread, has Hughes signed yet?
