Apparently the virgin Grealish got bounced out of the team for the chad Kalvin Phillips. Absolutely made up for him, a well-deserved call up for a lovely local lad. First Leeds player to play for England since the last lovely local lad, Alan something can't remember his name

Also I haven't posted on here about England since like 2013 so it's nice to look at an England squad and do a bit of an 'ooh hello this could be interesting' rather than an anguished groan as the same unflushable turds grind their way to 200 caps

Grealish had the most goals, assists, free kicks won, created the most chances and dribbled the furthest out of any English midfielder last season but still doesn't get picked lol

I wasn't saying that but it could have been true in their opinions (not exactly a high bar tbh). Our central defence is still bad but at least we can attack.

With probably the easiest route in world cup history. Then they got spanked as soon as they came up against a somewhat decent team.

Nah, Cancelo plays on the left when there's no left backs available. I remember Walker playing center back and keeper more than on the left.

Maybe England are playing a back three.
