Russia 2018

Good to see Welbeck gets a deserved call up:

That squad is shite, but theres no one not picked who you automatically think would improve it.

How is Hart still getting called up

How is Hart still getting called up

Never mind called up, he'll probably still start games even though he's become West Ham's cup goalie. He needs put out to graze, he's just an accident waiting to happen.

Typically strange England squad, they try and justify leaving players like Gary Cahill out because he's not playing every week yet pick keepers like Hart who's not playing every week.

He made an absolute howler against Burnley. He's good for 1 a game these days, at least.

That squad is ridiculous, how in god's name do Henderson and Lallanna get called up when neither are really contributing to the Shite at present yet Theo has had a great run of form for us and doesn't get a look in. If Hart starts either or both games over Pickford or Butland then Southgate has lost the plot

VAR will be used.... can't wait for the refs to use it every 5mins to make sure they got a corner/goal kick right

Var used that's Ally's world cup fucked ... banned first game for diving guaranteed as he's dodged it all year when we all wanted it ....now it's England it's nailed on he's bang to rights easily .

Panini can shove their stickers up their greedy arses at 80p per pack

10p a pack in my day, used to spend my pocket money on them and buy 10 packs

Think I'll give it a miss this year. What do you reckon..?

Even if you miraculously only bought exactly enough packs to get enough stickers to complete the album you're still looking at over £106.  For something aimed primarily at kids thats a disgrace, and i'm having no part of it.

I'm going to put the money towards something sensible and worthwhile, like Infinity War Lego sets...

[gizzblue]

Rekon this entire world cup will be marred by racism violence and police brutality ......bit like the 70's 80's .. ..only way worse.

[Escla]

Add to that the fact that you would have to be mad to travel there to support England given the current climate, Boris saying it’s like Hitlers Olympics will cause English casualties at the hands of Putins thugs.
Seriously don’t see the point in risking it for the sake of a team of bottlers who won’t even reach the Knock out stage, Foreign Office should offer to reimburse anyone who has booked but no longer wishes to travel in light of how Boris Johnson’s comments have inflamed the situation.

It'll be fine.

As always, the media are scaremongering.

It's a footy tournament not world war 3.

They'll be the usual scraps between the ultras but other than that it'll be fine.

Good luck to anyone going there without a Kevlar stabvest....truly hope I'm wrong but it's nailed on to be dangerous .imho....nothing to do with media or the recent Russia may or may not have poisoned people shite .
