November 20, 20223 yr 4231 tomorrow. Maguire and Stones at the back, the 3 are Saka/Mount/Sterling. Rice and Bellingham in the middle apparently I have my doubts about Maguire in a back 4 and I'd prefer Foden starting, but at least we have good options going forward against an Iran side that will presumably be very well-drilled at the back Edited November 20, 20223 yr by jmjhb
November 20, 20223 yr Group games if a 4 back Pickford Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw Bellingham Rice Foden/Mount/Maddison(misses Iran) Saka Kane Foden/Rashford Foden can play LW or 10 but as to start, I would have Rashford or even Grealish over Sterling on this seasons form. if 5 back Pickford White(until Walker) Stones Maguire/Dier TAA Shaw Bellingham Rice Saka Kane Foden Edited November 20, 20223 yr by Didledee

November 20, 20223 yr I don't see him changing from a successful formation Pickford Trip Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Bellingham Rice Sake Kane Foden

I'm not 100% sure if he's match fit, did read he'll definitely be involved in the group stage though, wether that's tomorrow or next week I'm not sure. Probably make a few cameo appearances, imagine trips has the spot nailed down

Can cancel the entire competition now - we are officially the world champion virtue signallers. Cry God for Harry, England and St. George Floyd! We couldn't be heading for a repeat of 29th June 1950 could we?

To gear myself up for the World Cup I have been watching one of the All Or Nothing series on the Brazilian national team. Bit of a fan of Tite from when he managed Corintians and he features heavily in this series which was their journey to winning the last Copa America. A proper football coach with just one thing in focus - football. I used to subscribe to Brian Glanvilles 'World Soccer' when I was a little un (started at 8 years old) and decided that this lot were my favourite Brazilian club - mainly because they played in the closest to BWFC colours! According to the documentary I have mentioned a few times on WWays (Brothers In Football), they now have 30 million supporters! Anyway, I digress. I expect Tite and Brazil to go very close this time around. Their focus on all things football from every angle (fitness, diet, psychology etc.) is mind boggling. Even items you would class as minutae. BSA used to talk about that extra 0.5% and Brazil take it to a whole new level. Edited November 21, 20223 yr by bolty58
November 21, 20223 yr Have they found that Ecuador fan’s head yet? He was definitely being killed after the game
November 21, 20223 yr Just had a look at the Iran squad and they’ve some decent players, the lad from Porto going to be a big threat, they are fifa ranked 20 in the world and manager is Carlos Quieroz, this isn’t the walkover we might think it is. I can easily see this being a score draw unless we’re at it from the off.
