World Cup 2026 - Thread

[AlexLaw76]

Squad announced today. 

I see Maguire has not taken to being omitted very well. Pretty arrogant reposes IMO. but there we are.

Foden misses out it seems, which is displease people like Henry Winter.

Big question, will "Trent" be on the plane?

 

[James]

If the BBC reported squad is correct there are a few pretty weird ones. No Palmer, Toney back in from nowhere, Henderson in…

Trent OUT according to Sky Sports

Henry Winter will be in tears

[ChrisPY]

Djed Spence in.

[skintsaint]

How the hell Gibbs-White missing out I will never know.

[benjii]

Cole Palmer not included is mental.

[trousers]

Another German manager trying to be too 'clever'...?

Tuchel saying that he's only picked "unselfish" players... 

[trousers]

Just waiting for one of the journos to ask Tuchel if he's spied on any of his World Cup opponents yet....

[Wade Garrett]

Can’t understand Spence and Burn being picked for LB when we have left out Lewis Hall.

That’s one positive.  Wonder what Gibson will pay him to talk about it.

I never noticed Foden at Wembley until he was substituted.

Yep. Shaw can feel hard done by too. He's had a great season. 

Gibbs-White missing out is nuts too.

[SNSUN]

Squad rests on Tuchel's head and only he can make the decisions but he'll also be the first to go if we go out in the group stage. I don't think it's a good squad at all but that's just my opinion and, as a result, they will probably go on and win the World Cup.

For England to win the WC, you got to get the best out of Kane, who is in unbelievable form.

Study Bayern's formation/setup (not within 72 hours of a game) and go from there.

Gibbs-White is a great player but he’s not ahead of Bellingham or Rogers.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Got to have Henderson for experience and gelling the lads...

Seriously just take him as a mascot or part of the coaching staff for that.

Who over the last few tawneements has proved to be completely knackered after the group stage.

It’d fall apart without Hendo’s influence though. Perhaps Tuchel should take Nivea as one of his back room team as well.

Nah, he'll be busy over the summer trying to assemble a Saints squad as our new gaffer. 

[Toussaint]

Football is all rigged, FIFA have already made up their minds Pakistan are going to win.

Hall not going is crazy. Palmer is somewhat questionable too, but Chelsea fans have some interesting views about him this season. In terms of Foden, I do remember him really struggling to fit with England in the last tournament, we tried with Foden and Bellingham and it just wouldn't work. We tried for years with Lampard and Gerrard and it didn't work, sometimes you pick the team rather than the names. 

The outcry over Trent is laughable though. The guy can't defend for shit. 

'He's got a great cross' - yeah, but ultimately we need him to defend against the best attackers in the world and he can't do that. So that's that.
