I would say Wilshere was playing well. He appeared 38 times for Arsenal this last season.
I would say Wilshere was playing well. He appeared 38 times for Arsenal this last season.That’s one I agree with him on, I would have taken shelvey. Wiltshire hasn’t played well, couldn’t get in the Bournemouth squad, struggling to play constantly for arsenal but expects to play for England? Doesn’t stack up to me. Shelvey was the most inform English player but clearly they don’t like his approach. The issue with the squad is that it’s quite one dimentional, we are clearly looking for the midfield to hold up play and support the back three to let wing backs bomb on but if that’s going to get found out we have no plan B.
I was happy with the inclusion of Welbeck. He's done well for England in the past and I would prefer him to Vardy to partner Kane.Even the arsenal fans were saying he was a shadow of himself but I guess we will never know now. Wasn’t happy with welbeck but seems to play okay for England and maybe fits his style of play. Need goals from vardy also, we can’t rely of Kane solely. It’s the centre backs that worry me but don’t think there was much options for him
I suppose it depend on whether we intend to play one or two up front or one drop off as support which might suit welbeck. I would have liked to have seen Wilson get a call up but that’s probably with sky blue glasses on!I was happy with the inclusion of Welbeck.

Got a text today from DHL informing me my tickets will arrive tomorrow.
Same. Was hoping we’d collect them. Don’t fancy walking around with them over there.
Don't think they'll allow 12 v 11 matePickford
Trippier - Walker - Stones - Cahill - Maguire - Rose
Dier - Henderson
Sterling - Kane - Rashford
Is how I'd play if the tournament started tomorrow. The midfield is obviously that way to keep us tight but full backs coming forward and Sterling and Rashford cutting in could cause problems. You also have to option to bring in Alli and Vardy for those two if you want an attacking midfielder and a partnership up top.
For the first 2 games I don't think we need two holding midfielders. Therefore I'd swap Dier for Alli.Pickford

Strange really, I find myself really not caring about the World Cup at the moment. I am still pissed off with that twat Blatter and his crooked cronies giving it to Russia and Qatar over Blighty. Russian fans are scum, no one wants to go there. Looking forward already to next season to see how the mighty Sky Blues cope when they go up a level. Hopefully England will not be shit and lose to Panama etc. Maybe I will be better when it starts.
I’ve not really been able to think about the World Cup with City’s Season going on for so long. It will start to feel real when we play Nigeria.
I've felt much the same and I'm going!!! Wasn't really p!naming going but bought a ticket for the Nigeria game last night so will start to get more real after that. I'm still in a high from Monday.
It’d be brilliant for the country and for business. Personally I’d rather go to a tournament abroad than one here however the fact that those two countries got them over here and the States is an absolute travesty. Even more so that evidence has since emerged to prove the voting process was corrupt and they still continued on regardless anyway. I don’t care if the stadiums are already built. Both should be stripped.
bordering on racism the sterling stuff,always out for himThe Sterling fiasco is ridiculous. Only the English media (more the Sun) 2 weeks before the World Cup starts would try and target one of our best players for a tattoo
Unfortunately not. It would be about 200 miles each way for me and on a school night i wouldn't get away with it.Going up to Leeds too?
Still can’t get excited for it just yet, our win still hasn’t worn away. I like the look of the squad and the culture Southgate is trying to instill in the team. Just hope we aren’t too defensive and go out and attack teams. I’ve gone for France to win it but quarters are realistic for england
Not as sure on this, Belgium have an exceptional team at the moment. I think they should be beating us and anything up to Semi's if not potential winners. I think we have the potential in four years time to have a similar teamBelgium is a massive yardstick for how we’re doing.
Finish top of our group and confidence would be sky high.
I've got half days booked for the entire group stageIs it just me who really isn't interested? Obviously would want England to win but unless the games are on the TV when I switch over I can't see myself going out of my way to watch them.
Sorry about swearing I've calmed down now. Watching him trying to play football raises my blood pressure four fold.Sterling what a fucking embarrassment. How the fuck is he a professional footballer.
Massive twat on top of this so he hasn't got much going for him, apart from being a multi millionaire that is.
