    Wow no Sane in the German squad... One of the best players for City this season...

    That decision is absolutely inSane
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Apparently the reason he hasn't been picked is because he doesn't play the way he plays for Man City when he puts on a German shirt.

    Not sure Payet is an omission, more an injury. ;hmm
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Some good players there!

    Just in terms of England, I think Smalling should have gone rather than Jones.

    Sane’s the strangest because they don’t really have another player like him.

    Fellaini over Naingollan?
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Yeah not picking Naingollan was a strange one..

    But yeah Sane, I think he is excellent... Wish he was English...

    Outcast

    Brandt is closest but you’re right, nobody as skillful and direct

    Brandt did enough to warrant a spot......

    But I don't see why Draxler is there, he's barely played

    Buffy,

    Nothing much new there from BBC Sport compared to previous World Cup build ups. Surely Southgate’s job (and any other previous England manager) is to bring a togetherness to the squad, that’s just a simple basic requirement isn’t it?
    As for England’s chances I am refusing to build up much hope, then again i’m sure most of us are? I shall watch England’s matches of course, this is an improvement on my position of a few months back where I was considering not bothering. I am, as we all are looking forward to The World Cup, but as for England I will take it on the chin as it comes.

    Really hope it's not the last time I see Marko play still as a West Ham player.

    Good old Sam, he’s been on TalkSPITE and asked the question, “who would you play as DM - Henderson or Dier”

    He replied both ;lol

    And also said that a draw against Tunisia would be a good result ;biggrin

    Assistant refs won't flag tight offsides in the WC, so play can carry on, and then VAR can sort it out.

    Think this is a sensible move in terms of VAR:

  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    "They were told to keep the flag down when there is a tight offside incident and there could be a very promising attack or a goal-scoring opportunity because if the assistant referee raises the flag then everything is finished," he said.

    Fair enough. I hope this scenario has been trialled elsewhere first though.
