They don't have a good enough defence to be a real contender

HaHaHa Jordan Henderson in, Adam Wharton not. Morgan Gibbs White not. Get in the bin Tuchel.

Will be trying not to subject myself to another borefest, scraping through the group then grinding out another tepid loss, so not really arsed.
But even ignoring Garner, who was always an outside bet, there are some inclusions and omissions that will haunt Tuchel if England are crap.
He is becoming more annoying with time on the pitch moaning at refs, but not taking MGW makes no sense at all. They can make arguments about some of the other weird choices, but that one for me is utterly bizarre. Another great season and genuinely progressive player.

Reece James?
His fitness is questionable as with Stones.
The weather will kill them.
Henderson..hope he takes his coffee machine, cards and that old magic tricks box.
Toney....backhanders in that choice.
City's reserve goalie.
Gordon, he's a ging, again the weather.
The rs will be fuming.....home counties reds in uproar

Do we really need five centre halves? And one of them being Stones who has barely played any football in the last couple of years.
Henderson a complete waste of a place, as everyone has been saying for ages.
Considering the expected conditions out there, would it not have been better to have had more options in midfield and attack, more impactful players to come off the bench?
Palmer has been underwhelming this season, granted, but I’d much rather have the option of throwing him on potentially chasing a goal than someone like Jordan kin Henderson or even Madueke.

Gone down like a lead balloon in my WhatsApp group.
Madueke, Quansah, James, Spence,Burn, Henderson, Toney all dubious.
Leaving either of Foden/Palmer is criminal.
Not including Alexander Arnold is bizarre

One has never, ever done it for England, and the other is a massive injury risk whilst competing with Saka, Bellingham, Eze etc.
Why? He can't defend. The only game he'd be safe to use is something like Panama where they could start me and win. Soone as we hit knockout footie he can't be trusted.
