    Are these three England call-ups seriously what we're reduced to?

    3 new ones or do you mean Cheek and Abraham, etc?

    Dominic Solanke (85 Premier League minutes this year), Angus Gunn (Championship, apparently) and Lewis Cook who I at least think I've heard of.

    I'm not young enough to fit Southgate's "call up literally anybody who's young" policy.

    Who would you lot have called up instead, out of interest?

    Nick Pope, Jonjo Shelvey, Andy Carroll?

    About half of the full strength squad isn't there and English strikers are pretty thin on the ground, to be fair. Jack Cork and Jake Livermore are the two that are completely pointless exercises.

    Remember that time, in an attempt to defend 'Mr. Capello', Roy Keane went through our disappointing World Cup team and called nine of them crap? I would like to see Alan Shearer go off on a similar point.

    If we're taking Championship guys there must at least be a young English striker who has played a game this year we could select ahead of Solanke, for a kick-off.

    They seem to be going down the England cricket route of picking 'guys who know the setup'.

    We'll see a lot more of this as they try to justify the existence of St George's Park.

    St. George's Park has done alright for itself this year to be fair.

    Solanke and Cook are there because they were the best two candidates from the u20 team that won something this year. I don't think there's any harm in giving them a call-up over Martyn Waghorn.

    I'm not sure how a totally separate entity paying them a bunch of money is St. George's Parks fault or demeans it's work.

    But it's still a waste of time and money if it ruins them as players anyway.

    I don't know much about St George's Park, but by what measure has it not been a success? Our youth teams are better than they have been in donkey's.

    I'm being a bit facetious as if it can train up x number more coaches in perpetuity it will really have done its job, but I personally don't agree with the idea of centralising football development. We're too big a country to do it well and it ignores late developers and people who actually perform well in favour of people who have the attributes to do so in theory.

    They should promote kids from the youth teams up a level if there's space, rather than bring in time wasters like Cork or whatever.

    Gerry Armstrong giving one of the great co-commentaries here. Just slated the Swiss for wearing gloves in Switzerland.

    It's been brilliant. I reckon if Switzerland score he'd just refuse to acknowledge it.

    There are a load of benders on Twitter crying about it. Probably the sort of people who don't support England.

    That Swiss keeper has been an absolute calamity throughout his career, no idea how he gets away with it.

    I reckon him and Harold are plotting a Far-Right Terror Attack. Luckily you can use the mental health argument for the pair of them.

    In news to brighten GS' evening after the footy, apparently Liam Miller (formerly of Celtic and briefly Man U) hasn't long left. Seems like it was very recent that he was playing.

    Croatia really do have some outstanding players. Not much better midfields about. Sorely lack a decent centre half.

    The best they ever did was in 1998 when absolutely nobody thought they'd do anything.

    And even then they were only undone by attacking dynamo Lilian Thuram.

    If Yugoslavia had never fallen to bits they would have gone into 1998 as the outside bet and lost every group match.

    EDIT: And they had to gypo France down to ten men.

    Lewis Cook always knew he'd be an England international. First Leeds academy player to play for England proper since Delph?

    Yeah but the talk of him being in a hospice weren't true at least by the looks of it. He's still at the treatment stage.

    That looked a good shout for a penalty for Italy.
