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

Is Phillips THAT essential to be included when hes half fit though? This just reeks of Gareth Barry in 2010.

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

He has Busquets and Alba who both are not so good anymore. Alba's not even a starter for Barcelona these days.

Expecting the Dutch squad to be a bit of a shambles now

Moans about the England 26-man World Cup squad: I get the loyalty of bringing Maguire over Tomori, but one is Manutds 4th choice CB, and one is a starter for AC Milan. And Tomori has recovery pace. At least he should've taken Guehi. Logically, this should be Maguire's last tournament because if Southgate keeps picking him even if he does fck all for United, he's blinded by something. I love to be proven wrong by Maguire, but as a Manutd fan, I've waited the past 18 months for any consistency. Also, I don't get the hate for Coady. His main criticism is "he only can play in a back 3" but he's proven at Everton that he's alright in a back 4. I mean I'd rather take one of Tomori/Guehi, or maybe a backup LB like Mitchell, but Southgate needs someone to lighten up that boring squad he has, and Coady seems like a lovely bloke. I'd rather people moan about how Maguire is still in there. That midfield is also trash for the simple fact that Phillips is barely match-fit, Henderson is barely in-form, and Gallagher is barely playing for Chelsea. 2 of the 3 would be fine, but not all of them when they're all not selected on merit. JWP, while not in-form himself due to the club he's playing for, should be in that team above all of Phillips, Hendo, and Gallagher for actually being fit and durable. I genuinely think Henderson's finally past it, and this is his last tournament. Praises about the England 26-man World Cup squad: My views on Benny Blanco has changed - he definitely deserves a callup, especially after James' injury. Thought Arteta switching him to RB this season would deter his chances since England definitely don't lack one of those, but it actually showed White's versatility. The timing couldn't even be more perfect with Walker struggling with injury, Trent being out of form, James missing the World Cup altogether, and Wan-Bissaka has since gone AWOL. And since he's also a CB option, it means at least Mings isn't there, so that's a thumbs up from me. Seeing Maddison there is a relief, he was probably the main selection I was invested in. I bet everyone was gonna be livid when his name wasn't on the 'midfielders', but cheered when his name was written in the 'forwards' section. Southgate probably got bullied by the public into his selection, but it's hard to argue that he didn't deserve it. Was half-expecting to moan about Southgate selecting Bowen or Sancho ahead of him, but he got this one right. Hope he actually plays him now. And Callum Wilson is such a wild-card selection, but one the whole nation should get behind. He's quality. If he was like 5 years younger, he'd be playing at a Champions League club right now. Abraham would feel a bit hard done by since he's been in most of the squad post-Euro 2020/1, but seems like Southgate doesn't like him that much. Selecting Wilson only seemed a surprise cause his last callup has been a while back. His legs are fragile, though, so that's the only risk about him.

25 players and not a single natural RB. I still consider Pavard a CB playing RB anyways, but this squad seems so unbalanced. A little too many CBs. I'd have said probably one of Upamecano/Konate could be cut for Jonathan Clauss as a precaution, but Deschamps literally has an open slot. Idk, I seem a bit uneasy about this squad. And I get a bit bothered when managers don't bring a full squad of the allowed numbers. They're ruining dreams for players in some way.

I count 4 keepers. That's a first, surely?

I thought Sainsbury was a shoo-in given he's already IN Qatar

Jokes aside, if Moriyasu wasn't going to replace Nakayama with another defender, I still can't believe he passed up on Furuhashi. Guess he really doesn't fit in his system.

Why? What happened to Mitch? Are there any reports as to why? Australia are one injury away from Redmayne starting at the World Cup

And who would you have replaced for Gabigol? The strikers list are already too stacked that I doubt all of them will get minutes anyways.

As long as Dani Alves is alive, he'd be called up for Brazil. That's surprising... Thought Emerson Royal might get the nod. Yea he hasn't been that good, but I doubt Dani Alves has been any better. And isn't Coutinho a Tite favorite? Thought at least Firmino would be in as well, but that forward list absolutely stacked.

Isn't Gizzy Scottish tho? He can't be seen predicting England winning if so

So um... when's the World Cup sub-forum gonna open?

So weird that Furuhashi and Hatate misses the squad, but Maeda does.
