2022 World Cup - Qatar

Never rated Poland in this tournament. May get a consolation here.
 
Freed from desire infecting the football now as well.
 
Rashford dropped for Saka. Foden keeping his place on the left.
 
Great second by Mbappé but why did Szczęsny try to save it with his right hand? Just instinct?
 
Kane keeps his place?
No rashford no grealish?
0-0, lose on penalties

Kane never gonna get dropped. He is one of Southgate's

but I wish he would stay up as a number 9 and actually score goals instead of also trying to play as a number 10.

Southgate's got so many options in the wide forward positions. Grealish is defo an impact sub. I like Foden on the left because he has a left foot. Rashford can come on as impact sub in the second half.

Whether England have control in midfield is my concern. I have an idea of Trent playing in midfield alongside Bellingham and Rice, as Southgate clearly doesn't rate him as a right back and which he nominally plays at Liverpool anyway. So pick him and utilise his passing and set piece delivery.

Hopefully Senegal force England to play a bit, rather than Southgates usual trying-not-to-lose in important games
 
England playing like time wasters on FIFA, just passing between the three defenders at the back not making any effort to actually go forward
 
This is like watching England rugby,
Not an ounce of attacking intent on show
