Don't like Foden personally, but he's too good not to be playing. Sterling is shite.

Wondering if Southgate will make changes? I think he needs too!

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Unfortunately the win over Iran made the usual “it’s coming home” expectations kick in again ……. This performance against the US has been dire so far. No creativity, no pace moving the ball and slower build up play than a glacier
Maybe the substitutes can save the day

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
My missus who loves watching England actually dozed off at about 78 minutes in
Can’t wait to hear what Roy Keane has to say about it

I've got Harry Maguire as our best player, no more to say.

I got the result right....just not the score.

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
For anyone interested in that sort of thing, there's quite a nice interview with Kevin de Bruyne (and family) by Simon Hattenstone in today's Grauniad.
Seems a pleasant chap and relatively unscathed by the adulation/wealth. Even makes his case for being paid £350k/week.
He thinks Belgium are just an outside chance (some players too old, some too young) and that 2018 was the big chance for most of the current squad.

Kane is injured - or is just being too lazy to bother. Sterling was waste of time.
It was some desperate that you could and seen Southgate sending in Henderson ...

Re: World Cup 2022. The football discussion thread.
Hard to argue, but apart from Harry M, none of them played well, every other name was anonymous out there, but Rice and Mount stood out as the worst to me. Saks didn't do much but did try, as did Bellingham
