He didn't have the best of luck with injuries either. We gave Boufal that excuse and he was just as poor this season, so hopefully Lemina will remain fit and have a decent season for us, under a decent manager he should do.

You've got 6 of the 7. The other is Peter Sillett, who was in the 1958 squad but didn't play. He started his career at Saints but was playing for Chelsea at the time.

Here's a quiz question for everyone: Who can name the three England players from previous World Cup squads who were born in Southampton? And another four who were born elsewhere in Hampshire?

The biggest impact on performances will be the loss of Mahrez

I'm surprised that Shaqiri is only 26! Feels like he's been around for a while.

Good move for Maddison, under the guidance of a world class manager he could become a key part of the England team in the future.

If they don’t like it then the six of them can go and form their own league. Greed and money has ruined English football enough as it is.

Are you suggesting that it's another Portsmyth? It's not like our neighbours to make up things with no evidence.

Legs

Not a fan of the Quebec accent. They use all sorts of diphthongs which just sound really weird in French.

Didn't Dave Beasant have a spell as caretaker? Put him as GK

Bialkowski in the squad too, which is nice to see.

I don't think I've ever interacted with Ekon, and I can't say I'm particularly bothered who he is and whether you're involved or not.

Good news. He looked like a cheap buy and a rubbish signing at the start of the season, but he's improved a lot and hopefully he can be the VVD replacement we desperately need. A win for the black box?

Not sure what the hype is with Richarlison, he had a very poor second half of the season. Nowhere near the finished product.

This place really has gone downhill.

Argentina's team is too unbalanced. They only just managed to qualify, could see them being one of the surprises to get knocked out of the group stages. France or Germany my prediction to win. England will get knocked out by Germany.

This happens every year, someone posts the fixtures and lo and behold they are completely different come the release time. They don't get completely signed off by the relevant authorities until a couple of days before hand anyway.

He was born in England. Yes he identifies as Irish, but he's Anglo-Irish.

Why shouldn't people be proud of where they were born? Why have pride in anything, why have pride in local cities, local football teams? What do you propose, let's all compete as one world team, yeh? Why on earth you've mentioned Brexit is beyond me. I'm against Brexit completely but that doesn't stop me being proud of my country, or the football team.

Nope. According to their current squad, they don't actually have any foreigners. Not sure if they have any former players there though.
