Someone on my Facebook made a post picking their all-time 23-man World Cup squad plus a manager and his assistant so thought it'd be interesting to see who we'd pick on here. Only rule is that they have to have played in the World Cup since it started in 1930. This is my squad and XI:

Manager - Sir Gareth Southgate

Pickford
Maguire - Stones - Walker
Henderson
Young - Alli - Lingard - Trippier
Kane - Sterling

Done.

PS> ITS COMING HOME!!!
 
Pele for me is symbolic of the World Cup.

On the winning side on three occasions and Sweden in 1958 was the first tournament I watched, albeit with grainy black and white pictures.

OB coverage wasn't like it is nowadays but it was still possible to see that Brazil were a bit special.
 
If England make it through their semi final, even with my most (English) rose tinted glasses on they would have to be underdogs against whoever comes through this semi final.


It's still coming home though :D:)
 
I cant believe Martinez never played Lukaku tonight :D
Varane must have big pockets to fit Lukaku in

France just snuffed out there threat , Fellani went back to his normal self

But Mbappe is the star - don’t see how either Croatia or England are going to stop him
