England name their World Cup squad this Wednesday (16th May). Apparently it will be a progressive squad: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44115625

Who do you think will be in it, who do you think deserves to be in it?

Here is where all the squads will be announced so you can see which Saints' players are heading to Russia: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44083365

Add any other World Cup build up news too :)

You can predict your winner using this wallchart: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/world-cup-2018-wallchart-predictor/
Or if you a lazier: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/01/england-maradona-world-cup-group-of-hope

Curiously, I had France win with my predictor and then again with the generator!

Sessegnon for England?
Fulham v Derby (0-1 agg, 19:45 BST)

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson is among the pundits suggesting that Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon should be included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for this summer's World Cup in Russia.

The 17-year-old has scored 15 goals for the Whites this season in the Championship.

But the teenager was kept very quiet by Andre Wisdom and the rest of the Derby defence on Friday night.

Rams fans will want their side repeat the trick tonight.
 
Really want to see Alireza Jahanbakhsh in action for Iran against top competition. Destroyed the Eredivisie this year, and I harbor fantastic notions of signing him.

Who does he play for in the Eredivisie?

Leading scorer in the league as a winger/attacking mid, one of the leading assist-getters as well. Was one of the people I wanted in January, but he might have already played himself out of our price range (scored 9 goals with 4 assists in their final eight league matches, including two hat tricks against top half opposition).
