My theory is they are grooming Mason Mount for the future England managers job. War Prowse did take a good corner in the first half though. Now we we've got Phillips back to exhilarate us.
None, Southgate just has his favourites and always has.The last three games have been utterly turgid. I want to know what dirt Mount has on Southgate

Phillips, Maguire, Pickford & Mings all had shite seasons yet are automatically included because Southgate likes them. Mings isn’t even the best English centre back at Villa ffs.
Trippier is injured for the last however many months of the season but gets an automatic spot, whereas the most in-form English player (Maddison) doesn’t get a sniff.
How anyone can still back this fraud is beyond me. I genuinely hope we get embarrassed in the group stages in Qatar so he fucks off. Doesn’t feel like a proper World Cup to me anyway.
Agree with a fair bit of that rant but disagree about pickford....bit shakey with a very shakey everton at times this season but seems to grow in an England shirt..... he's far from perfect but still our best option
That is true. We too defensive under Capello and Ericksson too
Page has a very good chance of being the manager at the World Cup, I suppose it hinges on the Ryan Giggs court case. If Giggs is found to be innocent then what happens next?
Which one?The Villa lad at the back too. I think he's from Villa
The one from Villa.Which one?
I think he is a defensive midfielder rather than defender
One of a few odd friendlies taking place. Got Real Betis v Marseille at Chesterfield and Tamworth v Al Hilal coming up.Linfield, of Northern Ireland, have beaten the Qatar national team in their first friendly of the summer.

"The system was trialled at last year's Arab Cup and Club World Cup, where it was estimated to have reduced the time taken to make offside VAR decisions from 70 to 25 seconds." so it's not going in completely cold. I'm guessing they got enough data from that and didn't want the extra cost of running it for a whole season firstI don’t know why they’re always introducing technology at the WC instead of trialing in some bum fuck league.
That actually sounds reasonable if it works. I’m not a huge fan of the whole being a mm offside is offside and think that there should be some leeway but if the decisions are immediate and fair on both teams then give it a go.

The whole point of VAR was to stop the huge ridiculous errors. This seems to be going the opposite way. I guess if its instant and the same system is being applied to everyone then its ok but as you say why do they always make changes for major tournaments. Its asking for trouble.That actually sounds reasonable if it works.
