12-30 here getting ready to go out and get on it. Today at Al Bayt stadium and if ( when) we win our quarter and semi.final will both be here. That would mean 4 games at same venue as we played USA here nice ground though like the rest of em. 4-0 England.

That’s not true. The reason Saka got the nod ahead of Foden at the start of the tournament was because he changed the game off the bench against Germany a month or 2 before the world cup.

Ah right! Be interesting what team be named tonight this is the team I’d pick

Southgate will more likely have two holding so move Bellingham next to Rice & Mount behind the three, that's more Southgatey.

I'm not one of Southgates biggest supporters but,give him a bit of credit for picking Foden(when confirmed),and overseeing the team into the knockouts again.
We've got a chance of going further,let's hope it doesn't pan out like the last two tourneys.

With the talent he has at his disposal and the competition in the group, not sure praise is the word I would use for reaching the knock out stages.

 

[Groke]

Kane seems to be most effective when he drops deeper, picking out passes. IMO, he could play behind a fast front 3 of Foden, Rashford and Saka.

 

[Bozo]

Hoping to see Grealish and Foden start and Kane benched.

I wouldn't hold your breath with that

 

[Rammy Blue]

Surely Phil is benched if Saka is starting, not a prayer Southgate is leaving Rashford out, and can‘t see us suddenly going with 4 attackers.

 

[chaddblue]

I want..

England to win today and to win the competition
City players to play every game and star
England to get knocked out and our boys home asap
Grey Gareth sacked

Confused but I guess win - win as well

Where is the Saka starting rumour coming from? It was Foden starting 12 hours ago.
