Off Topic International Break Thread

Good. He’s only got to get back from the UAE too rather than the far East.

Fly back tonight/tomorrow, ready for Watford on Wednesday? I live in hope...

 

Yes, he's coming home and is likely to feature next Wednesday.

 

Do the team not have to do a tour of the country to apologise for not winning the competition?

 

Yup. Doesn't stop Llorente starting against Palace, mind...

 

Oh bloody hell, we're losing Son yet again

...to a South Korean variety show

 

Some bloke called Messi gets to say he played in the same team as Paulo Gazzaniga

 

And Foyth.

 

And Lamela

 

They can all discuss our next CL tie against Barca.

 

Gazza & Coco don't make the cut, but Foyth does

 

Hopefully the Danish Eriksen will come back

 

Hopefully there's a bizarre incident where Kane, Son and Eriksen all somehow drop their suitcases on their feet when boarding the plane home so they will be unable to fulfill their international commitments...

 

Sonny v Big Dave then.....

 

Important question: can we ask Eriksen to have a word in the shell-like of Joachim Andersen?

 

It's finally dawned on the FAW to stop having the coach's big giant face dominate the remainder of the squad then...

 

The England Women's team has a different kit to the men's side for the first time.
This is the away kit:

17 year old Troy Parrott included into the Ireland U21 squad.


Trippier over AWB... da fuuuuck?!

 

...so if Hugo and Moussa could have a word with Ndombele (and, just in case, Fekir) that'd be great

The usual queries (which are friendlies / competitive / "dead rubbers" ) ,
and then how badly will Southgate run the Inger-Spurs into the ground
while sparing those of the media darlings.
