James Maddison has been called up by England. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been called up by Denmark. Richarlison has been called up by Brazil. Romero and Lo Celso have been called up by Argentina. Dejan Kulusevski has been called up by Sweden. More to come.
If he starts the commentary trying to sell him to one of the preferred clubs will be ****ing unbearable
Alfie Dorrington called up for the England U19s Hopefully this means his hamstring strain is sorted, and not The FA confusing him for Alfie Devine
Pedro Porro has been called up by Spain. Dorrington, Donley, Hall and Lankshear have been called up by England U19s. Devine, Scarlett and Phillips have been called up by England U20s. They've also called up Jedward. Sorry, that's Jed Ward of Bristol Rovers.
On the other hand, Ben Orange said he didn't want to be called up And then the Bottlers posted an online video that made it look like he'd died...
Why do we have to have a f****** international break now? Every club competition is getting interesting. So let’s have a 2 week break I’m sure international games (mostly friendlies) can be played at a less critical time. There are clearly too many games played - and no prospect of that changing. But a division between playing club and international games might make it more palatable
International friendlies in-season should be done with the understanding that the starting XIs will not be filled with the better players, and of those that do start they have not been playing competitively of late (returned from injuries, low cumulative minutes in their legs etc) .
Mainoo should have been called up. England are not the strongest in his position. Rice apart, central midfield is quite weak. Unless Bellingham plays deeper than he should. And what’s the point of picking Henderson for two friendly games?
The man himself says that Liverpool were right to get rid of him. England have a ton of players in every position, possibly with the exception of left-back. Two friendlies should be used to test out the untested. Drop your first XI entirely and give the others a shot at making the squad.
Great article on Ben. Great lad and rightly well-respected by his peers. The game needs more guys like this! Ben Davies - Wales and Tottenham Hotspur's reluctant star - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68511894
Brennan Johnson with a big goal, albeit an exceptionally easy one. Davies and Rodon also started and combined on a disallowed goal.
I see Lo Celso played and scored for Argentina. Funny how he’s fit for them but not Spurs. This summer has to be the time the club gets rid of him. Waste of space
Not disagreeing with you, but he's been on our bench since the Wolves match. Postecoglou obviously doesn't think he's worth selecting. Barcelona supposedly want him, so perhaps something can be done there?
Dane Scarlett hat-trick. First two were very similarly worked. Third was a Harry Kane penalty. Great strike from Villa's Oranjeboom to open the scoring.
