@ItsAllOutFooty @LauraKirk12 @AliWoodsGigs I saw Kai Havertz as Golden Boot winner. I laughed, and swiftly moved on.

I built my dream team on 7a0! https://t.co/iLvmTwUqwo

@JohnIsner @McJuggerNuggets Is it? Is it really? Get a grip.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

Probably why he didn't pick him then. "I go into those situations expecting the worst so I don't get disappointed". What kind of elite sporting mentality is that?

"I expected the worst..."

Morgan Gibbs-White speaks openly about his England World Cup squad omission 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@GoldbergCFC No. If we aren't in the Champions League in 27/28, then he's gone

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@NFFC_JD "I don't understand why he wasn't a shoo-in, because he plays for my team" is really what the original post should have been.

[James Benge @jamesbenge]

Truly nothing gets the World Cup fever going in me like England losing their mind over the 22nd most important guy in the squad

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

The question is, Henry, does it really matter? I actually thought that not taking Maguire was the worst decision, but at the end of the day, the two players are very similar and are back-ups.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Dan Burn ahead of Harry Maguire is absolutely baffling. On grounds of form, experience, leadership, penalty-taking. Baffling.

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

I'm only interested in getting behind Thomas Tuchel and the lads now.

We all have our opinions, and everyone's entitled to that, but at the end of the day Thomas has been coaching for 26 years, and managing at the highest level for 11 of those.

I reckon if you can manage Dortmund, PSG, Chelsea and Bayern Munich and win 11 honours, from a coaching career that started from scratch, you're probably quite good and might have a rough idea of all the ingredients you need to succeed at the highest level.

After all, you're not just picking the best 26 players, you're also picking a group of men that have all the characteristics to last the course over a month in a real endurance test from all sorts of angles.

I trust wholeheartedly that there's been an extremely advanced and detailed thought process that's gone into the decision-making, as if that needs to be said.

Our job as a nation now is to bring some positivity to the management and to the team.

Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It's actually baffling to me that there are thousands of people who think they know better than Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel, all because he didn't take Harry Maguire to the World Cup. Madness.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@goodbadftblpod Diego Costa never wore number 9 at Chelsea. Number 19 all three seasons. Do find it weird that you wouldn't know Drogba wore 11 at Chelsea and call yourself a Chelsea fan.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

Am I missing something? Kane's scored in both legs, plus an incredible assist for Díaz's goal in the first leg, and somehow his "poor" performance in the second leg is the big talking point? Meanwhile, Olise has just put in arguably his worst display since joining Bayern...

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

Can't remember Chelsea having a manager who was so clearly not good enough but also one who I wish the best for. Hope he smashes it elsewhere. Was put in an impossible situation and clearly wanted to succeed. We must not forget who is to blame for the continuing mess.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

I feel for him because he shouldn't be in this position. But Liam Rosenior has absolutely got to go, and he has to go tonight. He is so far out of his depth it's embarrassing for all involved.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@sidlowe Can't see how anyone would believe the answer isn't Neuer.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@Laus1507 It's not his fault though really is it? As soon as he went to Strasbourg this was eventually going to happen, and what is he meant to say when, effectively, his boss tells him he has to move to another club? Imo he's not up to it, but I hope I'm wrong and wish him well.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@AdamRamsay He's a fantastic writer in the traditional sense. Unfortunately, he chooses to use his ability by penning negative, sensationalist articles in a condescending tone - which I can only assume is deliberate given his aforementioned writing skills.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

Absolutely majestic from the Greatest CB of All-Time™ for Wolves' first goal there. Top-notch.

[Jon Radcliffe @jon_radcliffe93]

@vcatalina96 You are all missing the point that the 50+1 rule prevents a multi-billionaire owner from coming in and making a team a powerhouse. Lars Windhorst invested, but could not make many decisions because he couldn't control over 50% of the voting shares - and he hardly worked anyway.
