Potential Italy/Spain QF could be tricky, though I'll say I think we'll get knocked out in the Semis - possibly France again if we both get there. Attacking-wise I think we look good but the defence worries me - Maguire always has a mistake in him, and who is the left back going to be? Trippier?
The Charlton Life Battlefield Tour group is in Amiens on Saturday 6th July so hoping we get to watch two really good games in the company of fellow Addicks.
Hopefully the ticket exchange will open again between now and the tournament.
I remember during the last World Cup it was open all the time, via an app. Depends what you’re willing to spend, but I reckon there will be some tickets floating around for fixtures in the bigger stadiums (ie - Turkey vs Georgia at the Dortmund stadium).
Rumours Henderson is left out, which would be a big shock I think given how much Southgate has relied on him in the past.
Presumably Mainoo will be in, I wonder if Wharton could get in too, has looked annoyingly good at Palace.
Agreed, I think Mainoo's form is what has (probably) ended Henderson's England career. Be shocked if we see anyone uncapped in the squad so think it's a bit early for Wharton.
We look incredibly weak at left back if Shaw isn't fit.
Club rivalries aside i think i'd actually take Mitchell of Palace over Chilwell. At least he's been playing well. Chilwell lost his place to Cucurella and he hasn't even been good, which tells you how bad Chilwell has been.

I was very wrong, four uncapped in the squad - Branthwaite (I actually thought he had a cap tbh and expected his inclusion), Quansah, Wharton and Curtis Jones.
Would probably be my 30, maybe Eze instead of one of the centre backs (begrudgingly)
Colwill hasn't played since 2nd March so I'd be surprised if he makes the 30 ahead of Branthwaite. Branthwaite has been brilliant for Everton and is also left footed. I'd take him in this squad because he's the future for England at centre back.

Branthwaite should be starting the first game for us imo.
Got a feeling he already knows his squad and he’s just bringing in a few extra names like Wharton and Branthwaite to the training squad to give them some experience
Would like to have seen Cole Palmer involved, but hey go, we always get players we should have taken, that miss out, fitting him in the team would have been another puzzle.

Walker, Trippier, Stones, Konsa, Gomez, Maguire, Colwill, Dier, Guehi, Tomori, Shaw, Chilwell
Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Ward-Prowse, Gallagher, Mainoo, Maddison
Kane, Foden, Watkins, Saka, Palmer, Bowen, Toney, Gordon

Rumours Wharton is in, and Jarrell Quansah.
Would be a nice balance with him being left-footed and Stones to the right of him.
