Engerland world cup squad

[YorkshireRed]

I’ve had an outside e/w bet on Senegal. I don’t really think they’ve much hope but I tend to pick an outsider, it was either them or Denmark. 
 

I’d lump on Denmark if I was you. 
 

My hope is that Argentina win. They have a player who’s legacy would be cemented by picking up the trophy. Not that he needs it, in my opinion, but it would shut the ‘Ronaldo is better’ clowns up. I’m not referring to the Brazilian Ronaldo either.

I'm taking Kane over Shearer every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

 

[dave u]

Much as I can't stand him, Kane is one of the best strikers I've ever seen. He gets better every year too, just a brilliant all around forward now. 

[El Rojo]

Shearer and Kane were/are both brilliant. England wouldn't have gotten near the Euro '96 final or last year's Euros final without either. Almost guaranteed goals regardless of the game or opposition. Look at Kane's the other day against us, FFS, few others could have scored that. 

[dave u]

I would have given Shearer the edge until Kane suddenly decided he was going to become just as good as a number ten as he is as a nine.

[No2]

I've come around to the idea that Trent getting selected is a good. One thing for certain is he needs the announcement over and done with, the microscope he's been under seems to have affected him badly. He's not as shit as defending as he's been showing for months now. 4 weeks in the sun barely kicking a ball will do him the world of good, should be very little travel involved giving the size of the country.  

 

Same deal with Fab, a few weeks away won't do any harm. We need them home after the quarter finals though. Madly it looks like Villa will be worse off than us when meet after the World Cup.

[MOGLET]

Theres a world cup on? didnt realise, mind you, its not really been in the news much.

[Lario]

Richarlison over Firmino is laughable.

Kane over Shearer? Nah.

Brazilian Ronaldo over both Messi and the rapist.

 

That's about all really.

Agree with this - much as I hate admitting it. 

[Razoray]

How many of our players will go?

 

Alisson and Fabinho are in

Henderson will go but will Trent and/or Gomez join him?

Konate only recently got into the French squad but i presume will be picked. 

VvD - certainly 

Thiago - doubtful.

Darwin - banker. 

So 6 definites with 3 other possibilities. 

 

We could get a proper pre-season into the other 16/17 players - a better one than we had in the summer anyway - and the remaining 60%+ of the season could look a lot differently.

Really? He plays in Harry Kane FC where the whole team is built around him,ditto England. Shearer did it everywhere he played and in teams that were not always built around him or challenging for trophies often. Kane is deadly around the box but I dont think hes that great a link up player and needs Son to be most effective,eg Sunday.

There is so much wrong with this post, I honestly don't know where to start.

Harry Kane is a slack jawed, mouth breathing, diving, dickhead turbo mong.....

 

But he is an absolutely superb footballer who has developed his game to be extremely effective.

I see that Netflix documentary on FIFA is out today. 
 

I hope there is a deep dive into the allegation that crusty old Blatter got to pump Irina Shayk if he voted for Russia.

Given Mane has a tendon injury and is out, I think you’ve wasted your money.

Sadio Mané’s leg injury is not “too serious” and the Senegal international should be fit for the World Cup in Qatar, Bayern Munich’s assistant coach Dino Toppmöller said.....

Really? Everything I’ve seen today says he’s out.

[El Rojo]

Trent will surely now be picked with Reece James out. While he probably wants to go himself, it's clear that the manager has little faith in him and large parts of the English viewing public will be keen to scapegoat him should anything go wrong. 

 

Another side of Neville's snideness is the prefacing of constant criticism of Trent with 'Martin I honestly think this kid can be the best right back the world has ever seen, but...'

Not many would agree but I reckon Kane would score as much as Haaland if he was in the City team, and is a much better all-round forward.

I agree. Kane is a fantastic player.

Looking forward to pages and pages of posts of people saying how much they don’t care.
