Good lord 😆

This is the first time in a long time I’m actually looking forward to supporting England. The kids are alright and mostly likeable.

Leaving our Ramos is one thing, not calling up Nacho? Clearly something is wrong with Enrique and Madrid players

Here's England provisional squad

QuincyAbeyie

Yeah, Nacho has been great this season and can literally play across the entire back four without problems.

mentalvortex

Iago Aspas deserved to be there imo.

Probably the best performing Spanish attacker and has pretty much single handedly kept Celta Vigo in the premier division for a few seasons.

jones

Yeah him and Moreno are easily Spain's best attackers. You can understand Ferran and Oyarzabal but no idea why Morata and Sarabia have been picked ahead of him.

mentalvortex

Luis Alberto is another notable omission. He has been consistently producing the numbers for Lazio.

Netherlands have named their final 26 man squad. A far cry from the glory days of 90s and 2000s.

Goalkeepers - Cilissen, Krul, Stekelenburg

Defenders - de Ligt, de Vrij, van Aanholt, Blind, Ake, Dumfries, Veltman, Timber, Wijndal

Midfielders - Wijnaldum, Frenkie de Jong, de Roon, van de Beek, Gravenberch, Koopmeiners, Klaassen

Forwards - Depay, Weghorst, Luuk de Jong, Malen, Gapko, Promes, Berghuis

Clrnc

Veltman, van Aanholt, Klaassen, Berghuis... wow those quality.

Surprised Hateboer, Botman, Bergwijn, Boadu not called up.

yeah but they're not exactly shit either. Certainly have players to work with there.

There’s enough talent there. Especially when managers like Southgate actively seek to neutralize their own assets

Italy final 26 man squad.

Goalkeepers - Donnarumma, Sirigu, Meret

Defenders - Chiellini, Bonucci, Acerbi, Bastoni, Di Lorenzo, Toloi, Spinazzola, Emerson Palmieri

Midfielders - Jorginho, Verratti, Florenzi, Barella, Pellegrini, Locatelli, Sensi, Cristante

Forwards - Immobile, Belotti, Berardi, Chiesa, Insigne, Bernardeschi, Raspadori

Why is Bellingham so highly rated? Technically good and tidy but I don’t see anything remotely special in his game but I’ve only seen him 4 or 5 times.

Claudius

He’s 17 or so and each time I’ve seen him in the champions league he’s gone out and played really composed game against grown men. And he can score. He just looks like a quality player. There is a a chance that he’s a physical specimen and he’s just fully developed early, but he looks good already. He would’ve improved us a lot of games this season next to Partey

QuincyAbeyie

I've mainly noticed him in the CL and thought he looked great there. Can't say I've really paid attention to him while watching their league games.

goon

I think there’s a temptation to overrate players who make a breakthrough at a really young age because the assumption is they’ll get a lot better which isn’t always the case. I remember Henderson was really highly rated because he was 18, composed and could pass 15 yards. There’s Douzi and Denilson too. Could be wrong though, as I say I’ve not seen him enough.

Grealish having a poor game too, makes you wonder how well he would do in a side that would come up against deep defences regularly.

Saka doing us proud.

goon

Sakaaaaa

Good finish from a tight angle from our lad.

Bellingham has won the ball about 4 times since I wrong the post above. Maybe I’m doing him a disservice.

Claudius

He looks good tonight. But Grealish is another level.
If Saka hadn’t run central on the last cross from Grealish, he might’ve been open at the far pIdt

Clrnc

Grealish is not fit. You can see him still limping with the ice pack.

Bellingham has everything to be a great CM. Tackles well, great on the ball and could thread a pass. Like a young Vieira. Whether he develops to that level remains to be seen but you can see why he has such a high price tag now

Seen this opinion a bunch of times now here. He's easily England's biggest CM talent, Clrnc says it he has basically no weakness in his game. Athleticism skill on the ball and understanding of the game, it's ridiculous how far he is in all aspects for a 17 year old.

Big Willie

Are people really that vexxed by people taking the knee to boo that much? Fucking hell, talk about being triggered. Guess not having fans around during last year's run in and thus season allowed the players to show their solidarity against racism and discrimination without that kind of nonsense. Some people really are cunts.
