very very very fucjable

I see now, ending Hummels' and Boatengs national team career was needed so Tah, Schulz, and Ginter could poo poo everything up, and leave that Nuremberg lad in because the midfield was totally not bereft of ideas.

Can someone explain to me why England doesn’t play Sancho, who is the second best player in the squad (behind Sterling)?

There's quite a few players missing from this, it's not the first team. You'd expect Trent, Sancho, maybe Mount to start on Tuesday against Kosovo.

Seems like this is the type of match to start Sancho and put it to bed early??? Relying on Henderson and rashford and Barkley for creativity seems.....questionable.

Why would Foden be in the squad? He’s played 10 minutes of football this season, and that was a month ago.

The Czech FA has said that six men and two women were arrested near the Kosovan capital of Pristina, where the game is taking place. Local police seized a drone, a Serbian flag and a banner that read “Kosovo is Serbia”, as well as fireworks and a knife, from two cars with Czech licence plates.

Because he’s better than Barkley, Rice, Mount, the standard United dross in the squad, etc.

He didn’t play all that much last season either. Certainly not enough for him to be deemed some world beater midfielder who should be in the England team even with the trash that’s getting call ups ahead of him.

He started 11 games in all competitions for the best team in England as an 18 year old, and was subbed on in about 15 more games. How many games does an 18 year old need to start when sitting behind David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne?

I'm not arguing he should start every game for England now, and I guess it's OK that he's doing well for the U21s, but I don't really see an argument that he shouldn't be in the squad over Frank Lampard's Derby County's Mason Mount or Jesse "loving" Lingard.

Almost all of those starts were in the FA and League Cup where squads are rotated heavily and most of his substitute appearances were late in matches that were already decided. I think he played 90 minutes once in the Premier League last season.

I’m not saying that he isn’t one for the future but he hasn’t logged enough professional minutes to be seriously considered for the full national team.

Bizarrre supporting Finnish national team right now. Mood is extraordinarily high and with the qualifiers half the way through and five games to go, the team is second in group with five point gap to Bosnia&H. Is this finally the goddam year we qualify for (men's) finals? Do not give me hope...

Italy at home on Sunday so that will be a tough test.

I'll give you Lingard, but Mount is literally starting regular games for one of the biggest sides in England, and scoring. Phil Foden is not. He might be an outstanding talent, but he's not getting anywhere near the minutes that Mount or Maddison are. If you're upset that he's not in the squad maybe take a look at your manager who is unwilling to play him when you are regularly beating teams by 4 or 5 goals.
