And they wonder why the Dutch fail at every WC

Looks a pretty good squad to me

Could be interesting if they take Moukoko.

He's made the squad. He'll deffo get some game time too, think only him Havertz and Fullkrug would be used up top and they're all very different players.

Crazy that Botman from Newcastle isn't in the squad, but their depth at CB is mad. Xavi Simons will be fun to watch.

Yes, decent squad but going with LDJ, Janssen and Weghorst as well as Depay who has hardly played all season and not finding a place for Brobbey?
Very very light on quality up top imo.

Yeah I agree their attack is probably their weakest area. Defence looks good and some good options in midfield too

LDJ scores every bloody time I watch him so if I tune in to their games they'll be sound. Just realised they've not taken Danjuma either. Can imagine Gravenberch will be looking for a loan in January as he can't get a sniff for Bayern and has now missed out on the World Cup.

Very sensible analysis of the England squad IMO

16 Conclusions on an England World Cup squad that proves even Gareth Southgate isn't immune to The Clamour

Gareth Southgate has loosened the tie and gone the very tiniest bit rogue with his England World Cup squad. We're pretty happy with it in the circumstances.

...there's a not unsubtle dig at Everton in that


(probably fair enough lol)

I think Wales will win the group with 9 points
England and USA will both finish with 4 points but England will have the better GD

Based on nothing but a feeling

If they somehow play Ghana the Williams brother will play each other

It would be wild for a team that sets up not to lose to find a way to win 3 straight

Nevertheless, I think they're winning the group, with England and USA scrapping for second whilst Iran are out in 4th place

I think the Welsh are definitely taking England

Basing that mostly on the Scots almost beating a much better English team in their own backyard at the last tournament

Derbies can go against the form book

Scotland didn't almost beat them they had a very fortunate draw. And then went out while England made the final.

I don't think it is impossible for Wales to do well but England even with the questionable decisions they make shouldn't be underestimated.
