Now this is getting ridiculous, Spence with a broken jaw instead of Alexander Arnold!!! ? Has Tuchel got a bet on Germany to win the World Cup? That’s the only explanation I can think of for these team selections. Mind boggling. Picking players in form. Really.

{Ed001's Note - he won't pick Trent as he is shagging Trent's ex and they had a big fall out over it. There is not a chance that Trent gets near England unless half the squad drops out or Tommy Tuchel buggers off.}

What tangled webs we weave, eh Ed ??
I'm rapidly losing whatever small interest I had in this World Cup mate and I'm a proud Englishman ( with a bit of Irish thrown in .) ?

{Ed001's Note - I have never really enjoyed international footie, I find it too slow and boring, a lot like the Prem this season!}

To state the obvious, the team is composed only of Englishmen. How many teams in the Premiership contain a mere 1/5 th of English born players in their team? Very few, if any. The FA appointed a German manager, so this is what you get. Essentially, we know the starting 11 and Mgw would have difficulty getting into that, even if picked to go.

Should the side survive the heat and reach the next round, Tuchel will be offered a new contract, ie the FA consider that success. Meanwhile, a proven very successful England manager is languishing, ie Mr Carsley.

I'm the same Ed 1. I won't watch a second of it. To me it's just something that wrecks the domestic league programme. ???

And when the World Cup kicks off there will be no Forest players in the England team.
