Joachim Low signed a new deal until 2022. Good for them. You see the difference when you have a long term work in the nt.
Talksport are saying Scrappy Doo not in World Cup squad but Fabien Delph is. Not sure that is a big surprise really. They also mentioned that Lallana could be as well.
Welbeck and Livermore. Complete joke.

Seems odd that his exclusion is even the sort of talking point it is/will be, when his last game for England was against Iceland in 2016 and he's shown that, even though it has improved, his fitness simply can't be trusted for a number of games in quick succession. Without even mentioning that I think people were allowing some decent-ish performances convince them that he was back to being the same player he was.
I'm sorry, but who's Scrappy Doo?
Jack Wilshere.I'm sorry, but who's Scrappy Doo?
I would have picked Wilshere and not included Welbeck or Livermore.
Wat. He's been a starter every single time he played decent and was generally awful when relegated to a bench role (except a few times for Freiburg), where's that reputation coming from in your mind?
They need Scrappy Doo to headbutt someone when they lose to looks they have strong character showing. Poor Scrappy Doo.
Lallana has played even less than Wilshere this season.
One of them has to go though, without Ox, we need at least one midfielder that can dribble with it.
Be very disappointed if it's true and Livermoore in over Wilshere

I cannot believe Mario Gomez is only 32. Feels like he's been around forever.
Welbeck is such a pointless pick. I can't imagine any time during a game where you'd be thinking 'Do you know what this game is crying out for? Danny Welbeck'.
Bertrand, Shelvey and Cahill meant to have missed out too.
Loftus-Cheek in.
Loftus-Cheek in.
If it leads to Southgate getting the boot, I'm all for it.
So Shelvey who has been great for Newcastle misses out but Livermore who plays for relegated WBA is in.
Southgate will get loads of criticism no matter who he picks 
World Cup squads always cause arguments.Southgate will get loads of criticism no matter who he picks
Livermore is such a poor pick
What is the point of any press conference tomorrow? Everybody will know the squad by midnight tonight.
True, it most likely won't matter much though. There are plenty of players with similar quality and someone has to miss out.World Cup squads always cause arguments.
I understand why he'd go for someone like Livermore instead of Shelvey or Wilshere given it's a knockout competition. Think he should be given the benefit of the doubt at least.
We're going to be awful to watch.
Maybe he wants someone to drive the taxi.
Nothing new there then.
Nope, I think I'm supporting Mexico instead. Much more fun.
Joe Hart should hand every golden glove he's ever won over to Vincent Kompany. Talk about shadowing a lump of shite.
Seen the entire predicted squad. Looks bang average. Only issue I have is Livermoore and Welbeck. Wilshere should have gone and anyone else instead of Welbeck
It is when people realise yes City and Liverpool players have been great, but they are now in an England squad with average players and they will look average as well.
I don't know enough about this player. Where did he impress the most ?
They should have gambled on Renato Sanches again...after all, he did very well in the 2016 tournament.
If you like dark horses (surprises) go with Sweden, they have a well balanced squad who can shock some of the bigger names
England. You can become as miserable as a lot of us will eventually be
Germany of course.
I was looking at a few caf possible 11s and found myself sniggering at the first few selections. Thought I'd do better but quickly realised that the consensus was largely right. We've just got an utterly mediocre squad. Possibly the worst I've seen.
Shelvey Wilshere Ox Lallana.
Wouldn't have been the worst options. Shame they're either injured, not picked or not match fit.
How is welbeck making the squad?

Welbecks been generally good for England, has been good for Arsenal lately (I think, although he clearly still has his donkey moments). I would pick him, plus we could do with some options on the left, we only have Rashford?
Considering we will be playing Kane up to, with vardy as back up or as a two, rashford, alli, Sterling, lingard should be enough. 6 players for the front 3 positions. It’s a fecking joke he’s been picked. Also, that midfield is devoid of any creativity without wilshere, shelvey or at least ox to run around.
London based golden boy.
