Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted November 10, 2022 Does anyone actually give a toss about this World Cup? Stupid time of year. Stupid Location. We'll probably lose to Iran or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaunieboy77 73 Posted November 10, 2022 I'm going for 4 goalkeepers , 18 defenders Phillips Rice Mount and Kane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcstar 292 Posted November 10, 2022 Maddison is in the squad apparently. Shows how much all of these armchair pundits really know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knowing Southgate think we all know Maddison will be subbed on at the 87th minute against Iran and that's all we will get to see of him 🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 10, 2022 I know you can't put 10 Messis out on a pitch and you need balance, but we do have have a great bunch of forwards and I don't want to see the usual concentration on not losing by Southgate. Foden, Grealish, Bellingham, Maddison, Kane backed up by the dependable Rice should be able to breeze through the group stages. Lets not call a 1-0 win over Iran as anything other than efficient. I remember Eric Idle saying club football is the 51 weeks of the year life. England should be the week on the beach in the sunshine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Lo 224 Posted November 10, 2022 For the first time ever, I'm not bothered about this World Cup. I may be when it gets going but it's hosted by a country that I have little time for and isn't really that interested in football. When it's hosted in a footballing nation, it really seems to add to the excitement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First saw him when we purchased him from Coventry as a kid and we played them pre-season, won 6-1 I think, and you could see even then what a talent he would become 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,250 Posted November 10, 2022 No real surprises and to be fair no real other options given injuries and form. Tournament football is a different beast to the glorified friendlies that is the Nations League, and qualifiers. Hopefully previous experience will benefit England.

Ken Hairy 3,773 Posted November 10, 2022 Is Maddison playing at the world cup worth an extra few £££ to us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canario 205 Posted November 10, 2022 As we always hear, games are won and lost in the midfield. Ours is bang average. Last 16 / quarters as usual at a bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get why Foden, Maddison, Saka are listed as forwards in that graphic up top. They're midfielders in my book, but i'd even class Grealish as a midfielder. My book must be out of date?! 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed although I would add that the World Cup should also go to a country with a strong sporting tradition not necessarily football. That would include Australia for example. South Africa was fine from that perspective as well. Playing the tournament in an artificial environment in desert is (and always was) an absurd idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 10, 2022 So the clamour for Maddison to go has been answered. Struggle to see him starting though… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weirdly not great as one of two in a back 4. I'd have taken Ward-Prowse ahead of Gallagher for his versatility and dead ball skills but aside from that nothing much to complain about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
