World Cup Thread

Australia haven't announced their squad yet, so we're waiting on Bennie's call up.

Do we have any other players going....? I cant think of any.

Everyone happy with the England Squad? Great to see Eze there.

The former Rs Lyndon Dykes has made the Scotland squad.

I put a tenner on Dykes as top scorer at Euros. If Bennie makes the squad I'll have to back the lad, I hope none of our other players have slid into any squads or I could be tossing away a score or more.

I had an e/w on Dykes to be top championship scorer once. The p1llock came within something like 15 goals off me winning my bet! Dykes might get 30 mins against Haiti and might hit the post!!

I cant see Bennie making the Ozzy squad, I reckon it was more of an introduction to the scene and a view to next time.

Im really pleased for Eze and reckon he'll get some minutes across most games. But im not expert on how England set up.

Im heading over there for five weeks, but with no Wales there, it will be sightseeing away from the football cities. The hotels during game windows are just crazy! Youre looking at £500-700 a night for a 4*

Can't believe it's now three World Cups without Italy. Surreal what's happened to them.

Tuchel not sticking with idiot Southgate's boys' club mentality then - seems he's gone for players that are decent ballers, fit, in form and deliver consistently.

England missed 1974 and 1978 but Italy missing 3 is big.

I know I dont follow the prem, but there are 3-4 players in the England squad that I've never heard of.....

The inclusion of Tony is an interest one after playing in the rubbish league. But hes a decent player and now used to playing football in very hot conditions. That alone may be why hes there.
