Just 30 days to go until Russia take on Saudi Arabia to kick off the best month of sport anywhere in the world.
Southgate names is provisional 23 man squad tomorrow. Any late suprises?
Brazil have named Neymar in there’s, although how match fit he is will remain unclear.
Neaur has been ruled out for Germany, although their squad depth is frightening.
Can’t wait.

If Pope and Shelvey go, could this be the most we've seen Charlton "represented" at the World Cup?
Shelvey should definitely go... His temperament isnt an issue (hasnt been booked for months) and has the ability to pass it forwards - All other Midfielders can either drive forwards with the ball or pass sideways, something that could become very easy for opponents to defend against...
Read something this morning saying he doesnt have the Defensive side to his game and could cost us at this sort of level, yet you have to wonder how Italy have done over the years with the likes of Pirlo, he didnt exactly defend either
How I see it, with maybe a couple of changes..?
Pickford, Butland, Pope
Walker, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Jones, Keane, Young, Bertrand
Dier, Henderson, Delph, Shelvey, Wilshere, Loftus-Cheek, Alli, Sterling, Lingard
Kane, Vardy, Rashford
A lot like married sex in this respect.
Meanwhile we pray that Harry Kane remains fit and in top form.
The starting XI on the other hand.....
I read before that Icardi is likely to get the chop, mainly because he had an affair with the wife of Maxi Lopez, and although she's now married to Icardi, Messi who is good mates with Maxi hasn't forgiven him. So whether Messi let's Icardi into the group probably depends on his selection. Pretty much the reason why icardi only has only 4 caps at the age of 25
Just wow.
Assume it's imminent
