This has to be the least hyped England campaign for decades.

Not a bad thing imo

I forgot about O'Reilly. Mad that Guehi doesn't get in ahead of Konsa though. 

Apparently Guehi has picked up a minor injury, was wearing a wrist brace in some pics

Still a terrific player.

Of course, I’m just amused by the image of Wazza rolling about up front for us now. 
 

Just shows how well Modric has looked after his body. 

Reminder that Modric is older than Rooney

Madueke offers nothing, should have took Palmer

He offers width. Palmer was auditioned for the role on the right in friendlies and was really poor. 

Very lucky to avoid a red there for the clothesline on Wissa stopping a dangerous looking attack. Arm to the neck to stop a guy at full speed is surely dangerous play…

These “hydration breaks” starting to piss me off

No hes not

I mean he’s obviously top class and it’s close, but for me is tainted by the fact he was also a cheat in his actions on the pitch, famously above, and also was caught taking performance enhancing drugs, it wasn’t just coke.
 

Messi has exceptional longevity and his entire career more or less he has been the best player in the world, he has unrivalled consistency. Has nearly double the caps and triple the goals for Argentina than Maradonna does, and in an era where he is up against far superior athletes to those in the 80s/90s.

A certain CR7 will want to make his mark on the tournament now .

.

I hope he elbows someone again so fifa have to try and justify again why they don’t have to ban him for World Cup games 

I mean he’s obviously the best player ever, but he should have been sent off for that high studs up challenge from behind, nowhere near the ball. 
 

If an Algerian had made that challenge on him it’s a nailed on red, VAR didn’t even check it… 

Senegal very unlucky to not be ahead there 

Should be a great game this. Still think one of France’s biggest weakness is the size of the ego of certain players. If they can keep their dressing room harmonious, their depth and quality is nuts, and they should win it all really.

Dorsett speculating - basically creating a story that isn't there. My issue on this point is with the England press not TT. 

 

I would however have selected a direct replacement rather than another CB 

There is clearly a trend towards backup players being versatile and physically strong/tall. Chalobah can also play RB. I wouldn’t even take Trent if Chalobah were unavailable tbh, probably would go Lewis Hall. 
 

Picking a squad of giants in a knockout competition where set pieces will be key is not a silly strategy imo. 

Hopefully he has a good world cup 

It’s been 20 mins, it’s time to go 

I can’t bring myself to watch him talk yet 

Our first Russell Martin 

His teams have been some of the worst sides I’ve ever seen, and at rangers he was one of the biggest managerial failures of recent years in any top flight, his saints side was similarly catastrophic in the prem. 

Couple to that his inability to take any blame or criticism, this is not going to end well.

Strap yourselves in, League Two will be smacking us in the face before we know it. 

Unfortunately the odds on us getting relegated again are not available yet. Interested to see what they look like

Username checks out 

He is a shit manager whose teams play shit football in my mind, some of the worst football I’ve ever seen in the premier league at that. 
 

He's going to have to earn the benefit of the doubt from fans with early results else it could get ugly fast.

"technical error stopped us making the graphic but he was totally on". amazing FIFA has been able to become more corrupt than the days of Blatter 

 

 

Looks offside in that first image to me, line drawn in an odd place with the Swiss players body being partially beyond it…second one is on though 

I think the only positive here is we’ve actually appointed a manager before the season has started. But that is literally the only positive, Martin can get in the bin. First manager ever at Leicester that is going to have to win me over rather than being given the benefit of the doubt from the off. 

Well, League Two is one trophy we’ve never won.

Think this particular Brazilian team needs a more mobile striker who isn’t afraid to come deep..

Someone like Joao Pedro…? 😅
