@jhansonradio@MatthewStadlen Not sure age has anything to do with it James. He’s England captain tho and broke team rules set after a difficult winter that’s the issue.
On the England squad, nobody will care when the tournament begins. And there’s definitely a case to be made for a squad crafted on fit rather than form or reputation. But these decisions are so headline grabbing that if it doesn’t work, it’ll be a huge talking point in a couple of months. Which begs the question, why a contract extension was given to the manager *again* by the FA before the tournament, rather than waiting to see what happens first.
World Cup squads always cause huge debate but let’s be fair those in most peoples starting 11 will be in Pickford, James, Konsa, Gueye, Hall, Rice, Anderson, Saka, Bellingham, Rashford, Kane. He wants a back up for every position and that’s what he’s selecting. Round pegs round
