Defence:

3 Ashley Cole (Arsenal)
5 Rio Ferdinand (Leeds United)

That cup was wide open too, though maybe it's better that we lost fair and square instead of getting refballed out like Italy and Spain

Hodgson is a good manager and Liverpool fans should just get over it

Please don't give John Stones a single minute

This raises a question about international football that I don't know the answer to - is it better to pick a squad based on the last three months of form or a squad that you've been shaping together across years of qualifiers and friendlies?

The only objection I have is that John Stones is barely Premier League level and has the potential to actively harm the team whenever he's on the pitch

Nothing makes an English football fan's heart sink more than the sound of a tinny bugle playing The Great Escape

I'm just content that the England team has a bit of chemistry and doesn't play like the football is a live grenade anymore.

When was the last time England came from behind to win a tournament game?

It's coming home

Seems a bit reactionary to drop Kane, a lethal finisher who can create something out of nothing, after 1 poor game and a half where all 22 players played like turd.

A bigger concern should be that Dele Alli is playing terribly and is a red card waiting to happen

They should bumble along with Southgate or someone until they're all but qualified then hand everything over to Bielsa and let him go nuts

Need to time it just right so the burnout happens after they've lifted the Jules Rimet trophy

Why aren't they turning up at Bielsa's secret compound with wheelbarrows full of money and the keys to every FA establishment?

Tough luck for any of those entitled West Ham fans who thought they'd seen the back of Big Sam forever

Spain and Italy's new managerial appointments have been even less ambitious, and they don't the excuse of Steve Bruce being the only other candidate
