Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Dahnsouff]

People with their outrage, but Maddison has only trained once, so was never likely to be involved was he?

 

And Southgate is a dinosaur, so…

I was annoyed at Rashford's inclusion in the squad but to be fair he's been great for England so far.

 

As has Maguire.

Just wait till they come up against actual quality they have played championship standard so far lets be honest 

[TrentFox]

Without wishing to slip into casual sexism, the lass doing the time/subs board is seriously fit!! Okay, I may have slipped into casual sexism. 🤷

All 5 used mate

We have a 6th to use.

[Ric Flair]

Maddison will come on in the 28th minute of injury time when it's 10 nil

So Gallagher will get some minutes probably.

Remember we've got another sub to use.

All 3 slots for subs have been used, we cannot bring another sub on

Looks Southgate sees Maddison the same as Coady and Gallagher, just there to make up the numbers.

Most likely says more about the poor situation at a Manchester United. Both are very capable players that have struggled with confidence.

Players that are great to have around the squad. 

[Jonezy]

This is a very convincing win from England. Might be boring, but its very effective; very Italian-like. Does help that the Welsh GK looks a bit dodgy though. 

 

England-France in the quarters is gonna be an interesting battle.

He would be ok to play 20 minutes ? No point naming him on the bench otherwise 

[Nod.E]

My respect for Jenas just went through the roof. Calling Mowbray out for the west guy that he is. Fair play Jermaine, fair play.

Don’t we get an extra due to the Wales Williams sub?

Such a shame that Wales took the place of Ukraine at this tournament

They didn't take anyone's place they won the playoff fair and square.

There's a "under constant bombardment" joke there, that I'm not going to make. 

[filbertway]

What a waste of a world cup spot Wales have been

[Vlad the Fox]

Here’s the free kick bale has been practising all week for. Shame he’s not on the pitch.

They are all on the bench unless they have the shits like that golden fellow

[Izzy]

I swear if we win this WC some posters will still moan because Madders didn’t get a game. 

It’s not the end of the world if he plays or not. What matters is that England progress.

[ithuriel]

My opinion, Southgate took Madders due to press and pundit pressure, he really has no intention of using him and he will warm the bench, kind of feel sorry for him since he was so happy to be heading out there.

I know I’m quoting myself as well but I’m obviously not sure of the sub rules now, yes we get an extra sub due to concussion rules 

 

I thought the normal rules was 5 subs in 3 separate windows but wales have made 5 individual subs in 5 windows

No more goals, please, I predicted 3-0!!

England fans watching this are as bad as the scab Nottinghamshire coal miners in the 80s.
