Why. If the main winger gets injured i.e Chapman last year then Conway will be starting every week as we invested in him as back up instead of someone who can run

The whole group is suspect. Could an easier group be drawn.

Tbf I forgot about him. He would start for us I would think

Or is it d. After defending the corner he is blowing out of his arse and wba score three late goals because Conway is to slow keep up with his man. Rovers are pegged in their own half because he can't keep up with the pace of the game and rakeem Harper posts on Twitter easiest afternoon all season.

Kane's better than falcao so you can shorten the list to just james. You could make a case for cuadrado and possibly bacca over vardy after that I'm struggling. On paper we are superior but the game isn't played on paper otherwise France would walk the whole tournament.

I learned today that it is the Adidas people who pick the player of the tournament and have done for a while. I think it's a disgrace. If it's a choice between Messi and Ronaldo and ones sponsored by Adidas and ones sponsored by Nike bias is going to come into play. Adidas will want the world's best player in there kit and it isn't hard to do if your company picks the winner. Another farce

Well played ?

Fair comment. It all seems badly times and ill advised

I remember James Thomas the welsh lad scoring after what seemed like seconds against Bolton on what I think would of been his league debut. He scored a few in the league cup prior to the game and got his chance . He got called up to the Wales squad and then vanished

He will be telling us he's seen Nessy next.

Well for the life of me can't see what good that will do. Why didn't they just let him get on with it until the tournament finishes and bring someone else in even buying time to draw up a shortlist. No good can from this only disharmonising the squad. Think there's more to come from this story

For an upset I'd have to say Serbia or Uruguay

I remember watching something about him. He was being touted as the next maradona and George best. At 17 he was suicidal due to his dad making money from him with McDonald's adverts and stuff and he fell out of love with the game. Alot of dad's I know would do well to read his story

Please don't post that. I can't read another vinjay essay about the inner workings of the universe

Anyone remember the hype surrounding cherno samba . He scored 132 goals in 32 games in youth league prompting millwall to sign him. Liverpool and united had bids of 2 million turned down when he was still in school. Capped at every level for England to u20s but has an abysmal record in first team football. Faded to nothing. Jermaine pennant was bought for 2 million by arsenal at 14 from notts county. A record at the time. Another who got to much too soon

Francis Jeffers, Stan collymore, kieron Dyer and lets not forget David bentley. Whilst top draw for us he certainly had more to offer . I'd throw Joe Cole and Jack Wilshire into that bracket also. Adnan juanazaj looked like he would be a world beater. He never materialised into a player.

24 is ilkay gundagon 20 is Angel di maria 3 andreis iniesta 15. Kesuki honda 10. Luka modric 6. Lionel messi 2. Neymar 1. Antoine griezman 13. Sadio mane 17 Simon ??? 18. I Roman ?? 12. Eden hazard

Trevor chalobah, brother of Nathan was training with the England first team a few weeks back and big things are expected of him never seen him play so can't comment on that side of things

At this rate I'd take DEAF PERSON SIGNS "WHEN DID THEY SHUT THE DARWEN END, I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING !!

Because maybe In your opinion you think we should and could give reasons why which would add to debate. You could still suggest what you think Tony will do and if you agree or not

It was a joke pal.

Sometimes I think you misinterpret that it's your personal opinion of what should be done, who should be bought etc. Not what Tony thinks or has said. It's your opinion we are interested in. We all know what Tony has said/thinks

Remember liking the look of Michael bridges. You ask any Leeds fan and they will say he would of been special before injury. Abit like jansen for us. Also Paul lake . The man city defender. He was superb

Off the top of my head I remember watching Micah Richards and thought he was going to a top top defender and an England main stay. On his day in the early stages he looked a real talent

Probably throw Les Ferdinand in the mix aswell
