    Totally agree, and then to rub salt into the wound, Blatter comes out with some nonsense that it should never have been awarded to Qatar...

    I wouldn’t have thought so, he creates and scores goals and that is against what Southgate has tried to do with England. Get Toney in there in his place

    Agree, love how he didn't make the squad so instead of going off in a strop, put City to the sword

    Great to see. Southgate clearly doesn’t rate him though, because even when he got picked for the last squad for them friendly games he didn’t get a look in. Stuck to his usual favourites <doh>

    That's the problem with Southgate, too cautious

    If he lets them go out and play with freedom we have nothing to fear in this tournament. As soon as he picked Kalvin Phillips I think that tells us everything we need to know.

    Southgate couldn't manage a pram, nothing but a yes man with the cream of British talent to pick

    Correct. It’s not about form with the England set up, it’s all down to the club you play for

    Agree, unfortunately think we should have moved on after the last tournament, though not sure there were any shining lights available?

    Man City star Kalvin Phillips issues injury update and outlines World Cup intentions
    Phillips is ready to return to action and is hoping to be named in England's World Cup squad

    Right, are we using this thread for the footy matches. Or are we having another? I would like a thread for just footy, and nowt else. Is it poss to have one to talk about the off field stuff, and another for the beautiful game?
