We have so many players chosen for this world cup that it could very well fuck our season right up

Really like the look of that Argentina team. A bit light back 4

This could be Messi's year. I expect him to jet off to Miami if he does finally win it.

Some of our players will be back sooner rather than later. Knowing Southgate he will either pick all our players or none at all, he is that perverse.

Yeah weak at the back but they qualified well (unbeaten), as did Brazil so they're my two favourites. Without Kante I think France will struggle, as will the European teams in general. I reckon the Dutch and Spanish will go the furthest, and perhaps Portugal considering it will be Ronaldo's last. That will get a bit more out of the squad, and him. I'm looking forward to it.

Wonder if FIFA/ the US will let England wear "don't shoot kids" on their shirts at the next WC?

 

[Damanino]

to me it is a bit of a worry that some of our rivals in PL has lot less players busy with the WC.
Arsenal, Pool dont have too many players missing imo...
majority of their squad will be able to work and get some proper pre season while we have Haaland, Mahrez and couple of youngsters left...
