Can I ask why John Stones is in everyone's team? He's barely played for Man City since January. Same with Gary Cahill. He's been absolutely dreadful this season.

So excited for this world cup as with all world cups and will watch almost every game. Gets better when England go out so I can relax and stop dreaming. Does anyone know 1. Who does the best wall-chart (bigger the better)? 2. Which retailers/brands are doing WC2018 promotions / campaigns (been buying WC footie tat since 1986 and you can make decent money on ebay)?

I think we sometimes overfill the squad with players that have had a full season in their respective sides and they end up travelling to the cup already jaded. So I'd look at taking at least a couple of players with the undoubted talent to play for the national side but have missed a large chunk of the season through injury. For me that would be Lallana and either Rose or Shaw. Then if the likes of Trippier, Alli or Henderson look like they are underperforming there is not only a fresh pair of legs but a fresher mind waiting to step in.

I think room has to be found for Ryan Sessegnon and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Interesting that nobody has mentioned James Milner? I know he has 'retired' from International Football, but his recent form has been outstanding. Put it this way, would you rather have Jake Livermore there?

Strong rumours is that Hart hasn't made the squad btw. He's definitely left out. Also, Wilshere not included and Delph is in.

Seems on the fence whether TAA will make it.

He is such a class act and his pace and skill could destroy the likes of Panama and Tunisia.

The Irony of Russian Ultra’s holding a Swastika flag. Don’t they know that it was that brand of fascism that was responsible for the deaths of 30 million of their countrymen during WW2.

Harsh. His good games this season will be overlooked. Butland and Pickford are so, so overrated.

I hope Angus Gunn gets some game time in the Prem somewhere soon, he has a chance of becoming a future England No. 1.
I also like Dean Henderson who spent this season on loan at Shrewsbury from Manchester United.

I've got both in my squad but agree that it's more about the cupboard being bare of centre halfs than any great case either have made for inclusion. Can only hope that the art of defending has disappeared in other countries too. It's a bit like the goalie situation. Butland - relegated and inexperienced at this level. Pickford - error prone and inexperienced. Pope - inexperienced and not even considered #1 at his club at start of season. Best hope we can score goals cos we ain't gonna keep clean sheets...
