2026 FIFA World Cup

[Swartzy]

every country has to pick 3 goalkeepers

that means 9 spots taken up by defenders

normally 4 defenders play, so if you get cover for each defender that's 8 defenders in total

9 defenders is hardly extravagant under the circumstances especially if you want to fully rotate your team in your last group game to rest players if you have already qualified for the round of 32 by then

You could always pick an outfield player as a Gk, just never stick the gloves on.

Yeah I know what you're saying, probably to much of seeing our squad/bench that it's the first thing that stuck out.

Poor Garner doesn't even make it into that...

Yerrrrrssss!!

Maguire having a whinge the night before the team was announced speaks volumes for me. Fair play Tuchel. No room for mood hoovers.

'Tis the season for execrable World Cup songs and videos.

After seeing that pic I'm even more convinced 'Hall' isn't a real player
