At least it won’t be long till Southgate is gone
I think it is partly because of when it is happening. All focus is on the league, normally the league and all cups are over and everything is clear for the tournament.For the first time I can remember I am not feeling the love for this World Cup. Don’t know if it is because I feel we are under performing, wrong manager. The host country, T system / FIFA choosing Doha. But am just not feeling it. Maybe that will change once the tournament starts.
I don't know who constitutes a surprise really. Anyone who's not Maguire, Pickford, Shaw etc? If Wilson can actually stay fit there's potential for him to be in, although Toney should be as well. Maddison should really be in it by now as he's been a one man team at Leicester, but Southgate doesn't like him seemingly. Apparently they're allowed squads of 26 players now which is massive.
If it was down to me...
Pope, Ramsdale, Henderson (but Pickers will obviously be in it)
Trippier, Trent, Chilwell, Walker, Stones, Dier, Tomori, Guehi, Gomez/Tarkowski (but Maguire will obviously be in it. And I'm assuming James is injured)
Rice, Bellingham, Mount, Phillips, Ward-Prowse
Sterling, Grealish, Foden, Saka, Kane, Toney, Wilson
And two places leftover for whoever is playing best from Maddison / Bowen / Sancho.
What?Are we picking from other country's as well now. ? Lol
Yeah, the World Cup is supposed to be about beer gardens in the summer. I have a feeling pubs will just be overpacked since everyone will be watching it inside instead. Almost certain to be another rise in Covid in that case as well. The only time I caught Covid was during the Euros in '21 actually.I’ve booked the afternoon off for the Iran game. We’re having a pre-Christmas lads day/night incorporating the USA game and going round our Welsh mates for the Wales game. So I’m at least looking forward to those games. The tournament as a whole hasn’t really captured me in the way that it normally would though. Suspect because of the timing rather than any other reason.
One of our locals has erected a huge marquee with a massive tv and are doing table service, perhaps to try and combat this.Yeah, the World Cup is supposed to be about beer gardens in the summer.

You are feeding someone ?I thought the final score was 4-2 and not 3-2.
If so, it was a goal.

Yeah, but I'm just a little bit bored at the moment.
I suppose I must…to feel some involvement…besides…my wife and kids expect me to…Looking forward to it but not happy it is in Qatar.
No Scotland, so I will be supporting England and Wales.??
