One of the Hernandez brothers will probably start at LB. Bemused Laporte from Man. City didn't get called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Names cut form Portugal squad: Rolando, Luis Neto, Antunes, Nelson Semedo (that one surprises me), Joao Cancelo, Andre Gomes, Ruben Neves, Sergio Oliveria, Nani, Eder, Rony lopes and Paulinho. Can see Portugal going out first round. Have Spain first game so losing that will put them under big pressure. Morocco have very decent side and Iran will be difficult to beat with Quieroz managing. When you look at their central defenders it does seem to be a farewell tournament for a few of their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 How in the name of McGrath is Bruno Alves going to the world cup, he has been terrible for Rangers. Surely Ilori should be ahead of him based on his poor form for a superior Reading team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a wildcard (I.e: hit “random” 3 times and play as the team it lands on) game on an old version of Pro Evo, Bernard Mendy scored a hat-trick from right wing-back for me as my Hull side beat my mates’ Chelsea side 3-2. One was a screamer from about 40 yards. Complete cult hero, purely because of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm happy with the England squad. I mean it's a weak squad, but from the players that were available I think he's picked pretty much the right players. Southgate has been decent so far, imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I like Southgate and I like the squad. He's gone for players that fit his system and can play the way he wants them to play as a team. I expect to see a team like this start the first game: Pope/Butland Walker Stones Maguire Trippier Rose Henderson Dier Alli/Lingard Sterling Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is kind of one of the best players of all time and one of the two biggest names in world football right now (and for past decade)..........I'd say there's some justification for it.

I know it’s probably claret tinted glasses but I’d have been really tempted to put Grealish in the squad. His ability to hold the ball, win fouls and see out games is worth it alone.

I'm just waiting for Jacks Instagram post about how pissed off he is, that Southgate is a clueless idiot and he is clearly a vastly superior player to everyone else in the squad. All that being said I'll be cheering the boys on etc etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yeah something tells me no one feels sorry for joe Hart, jack wilshere maybe but hes not a guaranteed starter for arsenal, maybe not played enough football, needs to pick where he is next season very carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
