Qatar World Cup 2022. Argentina v France

[andrewjohnsmith]

I was correct on the Newcastle thread a few weeks ago that Callum Wilson could make the England squad

Would have preferred Toney. But Southgate never gave him a look

[andrewjohnsmith]

Klich left out of Poland squad.

Talk was he'd been offered assurances before xfer deadline that he'd get enough playing time to make the world cup. He hasn't really demanded playing time though.

Wonder what's left for him now. International career probably over. Will he be tempted to see out his contract at Leeds and sit on the bench? Or will he be looking for a new challenge in January?

Another that's lost the plot since Berts departure.

I think its energy for him. He could play the high energy for 3 years. I just think his legs are too old for it now.

Proper training seemed to do him the world of good, all lazy feckers now.

Bar Brenden, Tyler, Rasmus.

There's a lot to be said for Bielsa getting the best out of Klich in terms of fitness. But he'd already lost it in Bielsa's final season. He was brilliant for the most part of the Bielsa era. But after 3 years I think he was the one to suffer from Bielsa burnout more than any one. No surprise given he's 32 now.

Pleased to see Xavi Simons there. Wasted his talent at PSG, goes to PSV and immediately makes the WC squad. He was the bargain of the summer.

When was the last time he had a good game? He's been out of his depth at PL level.

[SG90]

England

How in gods name KP, Grealish are in who knows.

And look at those defenders.

Dier, Coady, Maguire.

Henderson

Henderson

I've never spoken to a football fan who can say what he does . . . . .

How is he good? What makes him good? He is just there.

Maguire going to.
Shaw
KP
Grealish
Stirling

Hardly picking players based on form

He's slipping down the pecking order at Leeds now. Will always hold fond memories of his achievements here. But wouldn't be sad to see a free transfer in January.

I like him as a person, as he seems like a cool hipster. But I won't miss him running in treacle.

Forgot they qualified Bet Tomori's gutted he picked England instead

Bruno Fernandes speaking out against the Qatar World Cup

Fair play.

But just Incase it's made you think "ah he's not so bad really" . . .

This is also Bruno Fernandes

No Alphonso Davis? Injured? Shame because I think he's one of the best LB's in the world.

What happened to Jonathan David?
