    Is this 'tournament" more of their world rankings game or what? Doesn't every friendly they play work towards that system?

    Maybe they think they're too big time for it now. Or felt the pinch from not playing any money-spinners.

    Either that or it's just Giggsy's well-documented love of the international friendly.

    Maguire has been fantastic for Preston, he really needs to be first choice going forward.

    Maguire started his career at Waterford United, making his debut in July 2011 against Mervue United. During his career at Waterford he scored 14 goals in 32 games. Waterford's chairman, John O'Sullivan said of Maguire, "I'm a great fan of Lionel Messi at Barcelona. When I look at Seanie, he really reminds me of him."
    John O'Sullivan sounds like a legend.

    He wouldn't be the first to make that stupd comparison about a player. Not by a long way.

    Then again, most chairmen here are nutjobs.

    Been flying since the return from the injury. Been reading great things about Browne on the match reports/forums etc too, he's been their best player a good few times apparently.

    I can't help but think Giggs is going to fuck it. I just don't see him as managerial material. Fuck sake. Just as we were getting decent.

    'Zlatan' is off. It's a shame he never won the league, but he was a pretty good signing, so good luck to him thieving a couple of years out of the Americans.

    He was ace last year. He'd probably have been on his way toward 40 goals if he hadn't got injured in March given he was basically the only reliable goalscorer we had.

    Also I've only just realised that I don't think I'll see either of the England friendlies.

    What a crushing disappointment.

    I can never tell with International stints. The other home nations can strike gold from the likes of Jack Charlton and Lawrie Sanchez.

    Some of these people are amazing. Accumulating shit third world teams must be like a drug. One day you're happily chugging up and down the left flank in the Belgian fourth division, then the wanderlust creeps in just a tad, and the next thing you know you're winning the Tanzanian league with six national team offers in the drawer, all with a GNP per capita lower than your daily bill for room service.

    Keeping us up to date on #TomWatch would possibly make up for Jimmy's callous abandonment of Roy "The Crush" Krishna's goalscoring exploits.

    A bold gambit to play one of the worst actual defenders we've had for years (he has other qualities obviously) in that role.

    Jesus, Walker, Stones and Gomez in a back three? Would be better as a four, obviously, but there can't have been many more collective bombscare backlines than that.

    Pickford on set pieces I assume (or, even worse, Rashford).

    "The Ox" and "Hendo" as a two in the midfield as well? Man alive.

    I think there will be a huge decline in the number of (English at least) top players who go on to be managers. Why put yourself through all that stress when you don't need the money.

    The only exceptions will be those who do need the money, or those with massive egos (John Terry intersecting the Venn diagram to perfection).

    I'm quite hopeful. I'm a Southgate fan. (Feel free to quote me when we lose to Panama. )

    Perhaps @Max Power can answer, but is Maguire actually a good 'ball playing defender'? How much of that reputation is down to him looking a bit of an awkward lump so being better than you expect with the ball? A 'good feet for a big man' situation.

    I do love this growing hope.

    We're utter bilge and better sides would put our 'playing out from the back' to the sword.

    That said, trying to stink it up and nick a goal is probably our only route to anything near decent in the world cup so, here's hoping Gareth has coached them up well on penalties . . .

    Better at bringing the ball out and into midfield than he is actually passing the ball. As you say a bit of it is just shock that such an oaf is so comfy but still very decent.

    Jesse you've scored some big goals in your short career but where do you place that? Your first goal for England and the winner.

    It's a fucking friendly against a shit Dutch team.

    Ah that's good to know, especially since they seem very committed to playing it out.

    I'd rather Walker played wingback and have his pace going forward.

    Nah I quite like how he's done and I think the way we're set up to be solid and use our pace on the break is sensible. I should maybe clarify that I'm 'quite hopeful' we beat Belgium and/or someone else decent, not that we'll win the World Cup.

    I'd be quite happy seeing us win one knockout game even if it were against someone dreadful.

    Oh yeah, just what I need is a manager who describes his style as "heavy metal football."

    I hate basically all of them.

    Other than Eric Bailly, obviously.
