Germany are in a lot of trouble if they fail to beat Sweden in their next match.
They'll likely be out if they dont win... Reckon you could get:
Germany v Sweden (Draw) Mexico v South Korea (Mexico Win)
Would mean that Germany have to beat South Korea and hope that Mexico and Sweden dont decide to spent 90-mins passing it around the centre circle.
Only advantage they'd have in that scenario is the fact that neither might want to play out a draw as one of them would be faced with the prospect of Brazil
Amazing noone picked Pickford Kane Ali Dier All pretty much certain to start
Not really.
In 2014 Pickford was on loan at Burton and Carlisle in league two. Kane had barely broken into the Spurs side. Dele Alli was in his first full season at MK Dons in league one Eric Dier had played a few games for Sporting and barely anyone here had heard of him.

Yet they happily picked Onomah who didnt make his senior debut until 2015/2016

One person took a punt, no big deal. In 4 years time there will be a number of players involved that no one would think of suggesting now. Do your squad for 2022 and we'll see

All true - but the predictions feel a bit lazy. Kane wasn't a complete unknown - he was in the England youth teams. He made his U21 debut in 2013.

Thats my point, I find it amazing that 1 person took a punt on him and 2 people on Roberts yet no-one took a punt on 4 players who are gonna start.
It's really not as easy as you think. I'd bet if we all picked our starting XI for 2022 no one would get more than 4-5 right. 4 years ago who had heard of Rashford? There was a feature on Gabriel Jesus last week saying that in 2014 he helped paint the streets of his town before the tournament, 4 years later he's their number 9.
If i was to pick mine i'd go with the likes of Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Foden, Alli, Sancho, Sterling, Kane as the nucleus of my side but you just don't know.
