I’d have Foden ahead of Sterling but that’s about it really. Sterling has been better than Foden for England though and it makes sense if Southgate doesn’t know how to use Foden.
Fair enough!
I guess the point still kind of stands either way. If he wasn’t doing this stunt he wouldn’t have been giving the money to charity and nobody would be talking about it.
People are saying the £10k could’ve gone somewhere else to help but… I don’t think that was ever on the table as an offer? If he wasn’t doing this he’d have just spent the £10k on himself and nobody would’ve known or cared, right?
That starting XI is decent if true. As always it will depend how we play it, like. There are two quite attacking full backs.
What formation do Iran play?
what I’m not getting is that the lines seem to have been drawn from when the keeper punched it? Not when the free kick was taken? Need to see another replay to see who it comes off
I’m just gonna do the first round of group games here and include the 2nd and 3rd rounds in separate posts if that’s ok @Sons FC?

just squeezing all the fascist stuff in right at the last minute. Wonder what's next. Like, I'd definitely fear for the LGBTQ people who've gone out there.
there are a few sides to this argument and I can’t side with any of them
Qatar - nope
Fifa - nope
Budweiser - were happy to advertise their brand on stadia built by slavery. nope.
Fans going to Qatar - nope.
I’m working on the basis that England Pickford is not the same as non-England Pickford
My main/only memory of Seaman is that World Cup so I don’t view him favourably. Probably harsh tbf.
I didn't even see Ramsdale there to be fair! Just assumed Pickford.
No need for Ramsdale. England Pickford's distribution is great and he's probably the best keeper we've had in my lifetime.
