I think playing Rashford is the way to keep Kane in the team and Kane is so much better than Wilson that he's the best choice.
I could see subbing off Kane after 70 minutes or for extra-time in the knockouts for Wilson, but that's the limit.
Day 10: Ecuador vs Senegal | Netherlands vs Qatar | Iran vs USA | Wales vs England

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

A 30 year old Henderson walks into this team. Great fit with Bellingham and Rice as Bellingham play on the left and needs freedom and Henderson better on the right and can do the adult things.
But a 32 year old Henderson, I dunno. England really needed to develop a quality #8 or Phillips to have stayed healthy and maybe moved 18 months ago to like Spurs instead of Bentancur or to United (lots of CM space, could have taken Fred or McTominay's job), Liverpool (to take Henderson's job) or Arsenal (to take Xhaka's job with him going to Italy)
32 is not old I guarantee you Henderson will bring more stability to the England midfield and play more probing passes than the other two, he regularly plays much better for England and I’m sure he will in a British tie also.
I would play Rashford up top, running the back four to make space for Grealish and Foden to have space to play between the lines. Kane playing basically makes Foden have to play like Kuluveski, which is not his game at all. Better to play Saka if we absolutely must keep playing Kane on one ankle.
Kane should be rested really as he's half injured. Going out in the next round is as bad as now, you might as well rest him as he'll be key to how far England go.
Wales actually would have a chance with England's lineup and Page finally playing 4-3-3, but I think Harry Wilson has to start instead of Ampadu or Ramsey who's 5 years past his sell by date.

So strange we watch post-match reactions from Senegal and Ecuador's players in other matches, yet this one (the most important, when one team go through and one go out), we see mere seconds of it! So infuriating. The heightened emotions of the World Cup are unparalled with players celebrating, players weeping. . .and we barely see it. Ad break OK, if they at least show some of it when they return, but alas they don't.
When's the last time Kane played well for England in a major tournament?
Bringing hendersen in to hold together our fragile midfield. My god Southgate's tactics make England underperform and look incredibly shite. So he rectifies his cowardness by doing this instead.
The first game against Iran when he got 2 assists?
Fox just finished a profile of Adams. fecking love that guy and so proud to have him as a captain of my national team.
Just heard Tyler Adams' response to the Iranian reporter's question. Absolute class.
Yeah but he didn't score, so you know.
Am I watching on BBC Wales or what?
Anything but a win and it’s a disgrace.
This whole prematch show on BBC has been an absolute cringefest of a show
Just saw Jason mcateer and called him a scouse prick, he said oh that’s nice
prick
prick
Saka and Kulusevski do have somewhat similar styles as left-footed ball carriers, but Spurs play 3 at the back and 2 in midfield when Kulusevski plays so it may be different, though England can switch to that now that Kyle Walker is back.
Details?
Yeah we all thought this too
Thanks. Good luck!
Southgate benched Mount 
How many sprints will Kane manage today? 5/6?
Surely over 3.5 cards is a cert in the England game?
5/6ths of a sprint? Yeah that's about right.
Foden needs to do something for once
Rested, Southgate is never benching him. Guarantee he's first name on the team in next round.Southgate benched Mount
I appreciate the need for these matches to be played simultaneously but I hate that I can't watch both of today's matches. Have to go with the US this time but hopefully the United lads fair well in the other match.
Yep, he's literally penned in. They team whiteboard they have in the dressing room has his name printed on along with the image of the pitch.
Is the USA/Iran game on, on UK tv? Think it may be the better watch as England are already through
Finally putting on players that can actually score a goal.
BBC2
Yeah, I guess that's true
Found it on Iplayer
Didn't realise how tiny Dan James is, christ. He looks like a mascot.
BBC 2 I reckon
If the World Cup was a singing competition
Wales would win it by a mile
Wales would win it by a mile
will be nice for the welsh to be treated to a proper anthem.
Yeah thanks also on iplayer.
