Yeah if he gets game time he'll be at Utd or Liverpool by the summer 

He's the kind of player United should be replacing Fred with, hands down.

Squad of Qatar:

Their whole squad play in Qatar. If only the whole Brazilian squad played in Brazil...

Hope they get absolutely spanked.

Brazilian squad:

No Gabigol  

Daniel Alves called up despite being awful in the last few years...

Alves is there because Danilo has been transformed into a central defender by our brilliant club coach.

You must have no center backs left to call Bremer up.

Easily. Could replace Gundo at City in the summer if they don't get Bellingham.

Could play at any PL club.

Interested to see if anyone has been paying attention, or will they let him go under the radar like Bruno G did. He's the perfect Jan signing for us, really is

[Smallen]

Still can't believe teams let us go and get Bruno G for £36m. Idiots

Yes, it’s surprising he didn’t move to a big club.

Lads, I am miles behind now with updating the squads in the OP. I will attend to this at some point today.

But if Wiki is up to date, then Ecuador, Iran, Mexico, Tunisia, Canada and Ghana look like the only ones we are still waiting for. Plus the added names to bulk out Denmark’s provisional squad of 21.

Fingers crossed we don’t see too many injuries in the last round of club games today and tomorrow. Missing out with a known problem is bad enough. Can’t inagine how gutting it must be pulling out after the squad has already been announced and you’ve already got your travel details and stuff.

[skybluedave]

That's a pretty cool video

Love that there is a place in Uruguay called Fray Bentos  And after googling I now know the pies were named after that place

[Rob1981]

Updated the OP

Waiting on:

• Ecuador
• Iran
• Mexico
• Tunisia
• Denmark (21 of 26 already named)
• Canada
• Ghana

[Rob1981]

Oh, and Sevilla's Jesús Corona is out for Mexico.  They haven't named their squad yet but he has had to pull out of their provisional squad with injury.

[Rob1981]

Canada squad is in:

Goalkeepers: Milan Borjan (Red Star Belgrade), James Pantemis (CF Montreal), Dayne St Clair (Minnesota United)

Defenders: Sam Adekugbe (Hatayspor), Derek Cornelius (Vancouver Whitecaps - Panetolikos), Alistair Johnston (CF Montreal), Richie Laryea (Nottingham Forest), Kamal Miller (CF Montreal), Steven Vitoria (Chaves), Joel Waterman (CF Montreal)

Midfielders: Stephen Eustaquio (FC Porto), Liam Fraser (Deinze), Atiba Hutchinson (Besiktas), Mark-Anthony Kaye (Toronto FC), Ismael Kone (CF Montreal), Jonathan Osorio (Toronto FC), Samuel Piette (CF Montreal), David Wotherspoon (St Johnstone)

[Rob1981]

First St Johnstone player at a World Cup since Jason Scotland made the 2006 Trinidad and Tobago squad.

[Heartwork]

Lot of quality in that Canada squad. Could be a dark horse in their group.

Wonder if Argentina regret not calling up Garnacho.

[PMLF]

Change in Poland's squad:

Sorry, but...which quality? Compared to even Morroco.

Obviously underdogs can surprise way easier in NT football, but other than Davies and David, not a single player would even make Croatia or Belgium squad.

Quote

Yeah, they didn't even call up Angel Correa, but they'll regret Garnacho.

[Heartwork]

The Canadian attack with Davies, David and Larin (who hasn't quite settled in Belgium yet but has been on fire for Canada) will be a huge threat. Eustáquio has been in great form for Porto too and Herdman has got them working as a cohesive unit which will cause problems for other teams.

[Rob1981]

Final five names to be added to Denmark's initial list:

• Frederik Rønnow
• Alexander Bah
• Yussuf Poulsen
• Robert Skov
• Christian Nørgaard

[Rob1981]

Iran is here as well:

Goalkeepers: Amir Abedzadeh (Ponferradina), Alireza Beiranvand (Persepolis), Hossein Hosseini (Esteghlal), Payam Niazmand (Sepahan)

Defenders: Rouzbeh Cheshmi (Esteghlal), Ehsan Hajsafi (AEK Athens), Majid Hosseini (Kayserispor), Abolfazl Jalali (Esteghlal), Hossein Kanaanizadegan (Al-Ahli), Shojae Khalilzadeh (Al-Ahli), Milad Mohammadi (AEK Athens), Sadegh Moharrami (Dinamo Zagreb), Morteza Pouraliganji (Persepolis), Ramin Rezaeian (Sepahan)
    
Midfielders: Vahid Amiri (Persepolis), Saeid Ezatolahi (Vejle), Saman Ghoddos (Brentford), Ali Gholizadeh (Charleroi), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Feyenoord), Ali Karimi (Kayserispor), Ahmad Nourollahi (Shabab Al-Ahli), Mehdi Torabi (Persepolis)

Forwards: Karim Ansarifard (Omonia), Sardar Azmoun (Bayer Leverkusen), Mehdi Taremi (Porto)

[Rob1981]

Only 25 instead of 26 in that Iran squad, and they've put four keepers in.

[Jeroen Thijssen]

Amine Harit suffered a horrifying injury and is out of the Morocco NT.

Was surprised Ali Karimi would still play.

Until I figured out from Wikipedia there are other Ali Karimis.

[Rob1981]

Saudis have replaced Fahad Al-Muwallad with Nawaf Al-Abed as well.  Something to do with a doping scandal, looks like they thought Al-Muwallad would be OK to play but now WADA are appealing his ban being overturned or something.  Sounds like they don't want to risk him in the squad in case they can't use him when push comes to shove.

[Jeroen Thijssen]

Marcus Thuram added to the French squad making it 26 players after all.

[Jeroen Thijssen]

And Les Bleus also see Presnel Kimpembe injured.

Axel Disasi replaces him.

[adhikapp]

Makes no sense for Deschamps to callup uncapped Disasi to replace Kimpembe. At least call up an actual fullback.

[Rob1981]

Yes and no.  Ochoa is in a fifth squad but only played in two out of his previous four tournaments.  Unused sub in 2006 and 2010.

No Byron Castillo.

Thought Castillo was cleared? Surely that was the only reason why it took so damn long for them to announce their squad

Odd how Saudi's have called up 2 players from lower tier when their top league is pretty much 80% Saudi players

So they didn't kick Ecuador out after all? After playing a player from another country?
