Youngsters like Ali, Lingard, Sterling and Rashford supporting Kane will be exciting and we have Tunisia and Panama before Belgium so should have the group sorted by then.
Poor Joe Hart, he had a few seasons where he did alright, but he was never THE great goalkeeper.
Ashley Young...speaking of folks who shouldn't be in the England team
Kane needs support, he needs the ball fed to him and I think if you've got a spine of Alli and Dier then you're doing pretty good right there because they already play together and they play with Kane. Then you need Sterling, Lingard, and Rashford to use their speed, they lack a little bit of creative flair, but they should help Kane out. The back 4 should be in excellent shape with TAA and Walker helping bomb down the wings and who do you have at CB? Stones and Cahill? Butland and/or Pickford should be a fine #1.
Yall SHOULD win the entire group. I mean Belgium is in their Golden Era but they are still a Roberto Martinez team. You'd think with KDB, Hazard, and Lukaku as well as with the monster defense they have they'd be good but they are CONSTANT under achievers like Spain before they started winning everything.
How the shit does Radja Nainggolan get left at home? Leaving him home will cost them a bunch...need that fire in the team man and they are light in midfield.
Re: World Cup 2018 countdown!!!!
What is the group of death this go round? I think Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay is a toughy but Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea should be good too. I'm interested in Poland, Senegal, Japan, and Colombia as well very well matched IMO, no weak links there.
I'm disappointed America didn't make it but I'm thinking it will really inspire these guys to improve, be a better team, and really achieve over the next few years. We're in flux going out of the Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey era and into the Pulisic, Weah, Sargent era.

Walker is playing in the back as a 3 man defence. Rose and Trippier will be wing backs, Henderson/Died holding with Ali, Sterling and Sterling supporting Kane.
Rashford to come on as super sub.

Icelands is really cool but Englands is a poor likeness to Kane

Yeah I saw Rashford's strike, hell of a shot that. Not too keen on your formation, but I suppose Southgate knows what he's doing I mean what does he have to lose really?

Yes, can not be worse than losing to Iceland.
Re: World Cup 2018 countdown!!!!
We folded against Iceland. Awful
I like the young squad but the lack of leaders on the pitch could work against us.
I think back to 96 when we had a team full of leaders - Southgate aside....:-\

1990 was better.
Re: World Cup 2018 countdown!!!!
I wasn't old enough to drink in 90
96 best for me - pub, in England, a great run etc...
But the upset at going out was awful - I didn't even watch the final
Still bitter now
If only Gascoigne had a bigger shoe size....:eek:

In that case you must also thank the leaders of Mexico and Canada. :)

Good for them....got to fuck up the system though because this means 3 CONCACAF teams are locks for entry and advancing to the knockout stages unless rules are changed.
