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?

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

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

I never noticed Foden at Wembley until he was substituted.

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

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

Gibbs-White missing out is nuts too.

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.

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

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. 

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.

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.

Less than two weeks away and CL final hasn’t taken place yet. 

I am sure I will get into when it starts but nothing yet about it excites me. FIFA are getting worse and more exploitative, and enough said about the US. 
 

Very much expecting Tuchel to fail. Massively overrated IMO but hope that comes back to bite me.

Modern FIFA and Trump’s America are a perfect recipe for ruining what should be an amazing event. Rinsing every penny/dollar out of people and making it completely inaccessible to normal football fans even if it means empty stadiums. Too many teams, too many uninteresting fixtures, too expensive, travel and accommodation quadrupled in price, talk of an NFL style half time show for the final, makes you sick. It’s not what football is about. I’d have been far more interested if it was just in Mexico, amazing country apart from its troubles in the north. No coincidence that the closer you get to the USA, the worse it is.

Same. Right now, I couldn't give a toss about it and I'm certainly not looking forward to the news constantly showing red topless divs throwing beer around in box park, ugh. Oh yeah and then you have Trump inevitably inserting himself in all the bigger matches, wouldn't be surprised if he was there to collect to world cup, John Terry style.

It will be crap I am sure. Sweltering heat will just slow the intensity down, with massive travelling and big time differences.

The teams he has managed you can't really not win something. With big teama you have transfer mo et avaliable and top players. Its more luck in arriving at a team at the right time. Its all down to the players and England should easily get further than Germany in WC.

QF at least for England.

When was the last time you can remember genuinely expecting England to win the World Cup?

My first World Cup I can remember was Mexico 86. Thought we'd win that. Then Italia 90. I thought we'd win that one. The dream died with the penalty shootout defeat to Germany, and I don't think I've thought England could win it ever since.
