Media reports this morning suggesting Saka back in whilst Henderson retains his place. Foden’s being dropped ain’t he.
Edit: now Talksport reporting Foden will start. That means Rashford missing out? Seems odd.
Foden is a wide player. Guardiola doesn't play him in the centre and not sure he can play the 10 role at international level. Is Rice injured?Holding out hope for

Can’t wait to be disappointed.

We should get the front four pressing hard cos we can replace them all or most of them with just as much as quality later in the game.
Most of these goals were hat tricks against terrible opposition in the group stages.Batigol at World cups View attachment 27596

If you needed someone to score against Bolivia or Venezuela, then he was your man, no question.Cool , don't count then , and his superb copa America record too ?
I mean Messi has scored against absolute power nations in world caps to be fair , not mentioning that yesterday was his first ever goal in a knockout game in 9 attempts

(I guess my point is that I don’t really see what comparing goalscoring records in international tournament proves in terms of arguing which players were better)
I just mean it’s all relative - being “better for Argentina” is a fairly meaningless statement if you’re comparing individual players. Argentina fans wouldn’t pick Batistuta over Messi for that reason, so I’m not sure what it proves.Batistuta was better for Argentina and won more with them .. prove me wrong
Messi as a better footballer ? Sure easily
I guess if you're going to jump on and try argue you need to be ready to accept that 10 goals in 12 WC Games, is better than 9 in 23 , 2 copa Americas is better than 1
Not sure what more to say
Lionel Messi has always been better at club level than he has for Argentina

One thing I love about this England squad is:
Rice - Bellingham
Saka - Foden - Rashford
All are gaining valuable experience now and all will be good to go in 4 years time. Many hitting their prime.
We may well miss out now but that is going to be dangerous for years.
Assuming we beat Senegal, I see nothing to worry about from France or Poland
Are you sure about that?
I think we are going to have to play at the very top of our game in order to beat the French. They have undoubted quality.Are you sure about that?
Yup. Marking has been poor, but you can't give him a sniff can you.He's a bit good at this football malarkey, isn't he.
