Announced on Wednesday.
Shelvey for England?
You’re thinking of the Irish Taoiseach.
:lol:
England's gaping hole is going to be midfield again though, I daresay Wheelchair is going to get picked out of necessity more than anything else.
We might actually have a chance of reaching the quarters.
Our group has pub teams in it and we’d have a second round tie against someone from group H, which is another pub group.
I don't think Colombia are a pub team tbf. Especially given England's propensity for going out against well, anybody in the knock-out stages.
Didn't we lost to Costa Rica last time?
Shelvey with the England squad:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eUVS66b_zvY/maxresdefault.jpg
Butland; Trippier, Cahill, Stones, Young; Shelvey, Wilshere, Grealish, Lallana, Sterling; Kane.
A first touch>fantasy football points.
Media is claiming Hart hasn't made the squad. Odd, considering he's such a well known world class keeper, according to the pundits.
Wilshere hasn't made it either apparently. And Grealish obviously won't make it because he's playing in the championship. So there's goes my interest in England's team. Southgate didn't have any balls or understanding of technical ability in 1996 and he doesn't have any now. I shouldn't be surprised. A cowardly man.
Surprised Wheelchair wouldn't be there, I don't really know what other midfielders there are.
Also, Hart was being projected by the pundits to be there for his 'experience'. Experience of what exactly?
Wheelchair isn't very good and frankly the entire England squad is rancid anyway. Kane is the only difference maker we have but he's going to need some quality service. No Eriksen or Son to rely on here.
Think Lallana's pretty good. Dier has shown he's useful in a holding role. But yeah, there aren't any real options and all this shows is that technical ability isn't really a requirement. England are still stuck in the stone age. I look forward to the England neantherdals getting killed.
Does this mean no Arsenal players in the England squad?
I imagine Welbz will be
Three stone carvings of a pissed Gazza in the centre circle would have more ability, mobility and nous than the England midfield.
If Wheelchair was being omitted for some genuine talent like that twelve year-old at Man City, it would be understandable. But when Southgate has constantly favoured slack-jawed uruk-hai to players who can sometimes resemble footballers, it's embarrassing. Young and exciting Southers is a bigger dinosaur than Fat Sam and Pulis somehow.
It's all academic anyway. Like us in the CL. Pub it through the early stages and get knocked out by the first decent (or in the case of England, awful) team we come up against. Pointless watching them because we already know what happens.
Vardy has quietly had a very good season scoring 20 league goals TBF.
When is this squad released so that I can pencil in when we will get knocked out. Early on whoever is in it.
Squad is already released.

Welbeck
Me too, to be honest fair play for not taking him to the World Cup, he's never proved himself to be good enough and can't ever stay fit, he's been living on hype for his entire career, when he does leave us which looks to be this summer that will pretty much be the end of his career at the top level, only Walcott managed a longer stint with us based on hype alone.
Got to say though, taking Welbeck what was he thinking, the guy can't score for toffee.
WTF is that midfield?
We've had good players who haven't turned up in finals so not done well, but this must be the weakest squad we've ever assembled. Not one player here excites me, you know, when they get the ball and you think something good will happen.
I hate to pick on the only Arsenal player in the squad. But Welbeck? There is no way anyone can convince me he is one of the top four English strikers in the country.
I hope he ends up playing 90 minutes of every game.
Unless I get England in the sweepstakes.
He is. Which shows how low the bar has dropped.
Long way from the days of Shearer, Sheringham, Owen etc
He doesn't have a bad goalscoring record for England but then again he has barely played for them since we killed him.
Spare a thought for Theo. :lol:
Token inclusion in 2006, cut from 2010, injured in 2014 and now finally too shit for 2018.
What a waste.
Welbeck the only Arsenal player
Embarrassing for us but also England if that's the best they can find
I can't wait for the referees to set about Alli - he'll be lucky if he makes half time :redcard:
