Hopefully a few of them will be getting knighthoods

I don't imagine too many teams will be exactly quaking in their boots after looking through that list of players.

My expectations are very low this time around so, who knows, maybe we'll do better than expected?

I think Southgate is eager to pick a young team to develop. Problem is, I don't think most of that list will ever develop into world-class players.

Hopefully, Kane isn't completely knackered this time around and Alli will do something more than commit a few sly fouls whilst attempting (and failing) to backheel/flick an outrageous pass through when simply controlling the ball is a better option. I wonder how many times Sterling will go on a promising run before shinning his shot hopelessly high and/or wide?

Delph and Welbeck wouldn't be near the squad for me. Shelvey and Llanna instead.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Would leave Dier back home and take Wilshere. Not sure about Welbeck nor Delph

Shame Joe Gomez has had an op, then we could have left Cahill at home.

If Lallana's fit enough to be on standby, he'd be in my squad instead of Welbeck.

Big fan of Wilshere, but he's been either outstanding or poor this season, I'd have gambled by taking him as he's different to the rest, but I guess GS has gone for Delph's strength and reliability.

And I'd prefer Bertrand to Young.

Squad lacks a bit of class at centre half (Stones apart) and inventiveness in centre mid for me, but GS's ethos of team ethic over outstanding individuals will probably achieve a bit more than people would expect..

Whooahhh....who are we gonna turn to when we need a mistimed 20 yd sliding tackle if Dier isn't in the squad ?  Think on Golfer.

This is England.

I would have taken both Wiltshire and Llana (as someone has said if he is fit enough to be on standby then he should be seen as fit enough to be in the main squad). Massive lack of creativity in that midfield which means that our main attacking options are either overlapping full backs, or hoping Alli does something clever and seeing as he hasn’t had a great season we are really clutching at straws with respect to goal scoring options.

it's probably the best squad we've sent out since 2006. But thats because we've sent absolutely dog excrement to the last two world cups.

It's says a lot about the academy structure that we don't have a single international class keeper, only Kyle Walker you would say has genuine international pedigree in our defence and we don't have a single world class midfielder ( maybe Alli will become one).
