England: Nations League 2020/21

[Lord Camomile]

It's back!

In case you'd forgotten (how could you?!), England are in a group with Belgium, Iceland and Denmark. So, the team that beat us twice in WC 2018, and the team that knocked us out of Euro 2016. Vengeance will definitely be ours

First up we have Iceland in Reykjavik on Sat 05 Sep, then Denmark in Copenhagen on Tue 08 Sep. Which actually sounds like a nice little European break, if it weren't for, y'know, global pandemic.

Other fixtures:

Sun 11 Oct England v Belgium
Wed 14 Oct England v Denmark

Sun 15 Nov Belgium v England
Wed 18 Nov England v Iceland

England haven't played a match since November of last year, so will be nice to see the boys get a run out ahead of starting the... club league(?) the following weekend.

Hurrah!

 

[Badgers]

Henderson?

[insert combative performance expected from Maguire here]

[insert combative performance expected from Maguire here]

News aside he is average at best

 

[Lord Camomile]

Seems to be a fair bit of umbrage that Grealish hasn't made the squad.

Should be a starter

 

[Badgers]

Winks = promise at best

Henderson captained a team winning the CL and PL in two seasons.

Grealish carried a whole team on his shoulders this season.

 

[Teaboy]

Henderson?

Carrying an injury apparently.

 

[Badgers]

Carrying an injury apparently.

Not one that will keep him out for months

 

[Argonia]

Quite a lot of criticism of Southgate over at Twatter.

 

[Argonia]

Is Maguire going to be languishing in a Greek gaol?

 

[souljacker]

The excitement is building. Current level: asleep.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Is Maguire going to be languishing in a Greek gaol?

No. Suspended sentence. Not suspended from playing.

 

[Argonia]

No. Suspended sentence. Not suspended from playing.

He's been withdrawn from the squad

Harry Maguire withdrawn from England squad after trial

 

[Lord Camomile]

Conor Coady and Ainsley Maitland-Niles have been added to the squad.

 

[stavros]

3 right backs. 0 left backs. What the fuck is this squad?

Yes, where's Chilwell? I don't think he's injured.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Rashford and Winks out, Grealish in.

 

[stavros]

Rashford and Winks out, Grealish in.

Presumably it's two out one in because Grealish's hair needs its own seat on the bus.

 

[Badgers]

Rashford and Winks out, Grealish in.

#worldbeating

Will Kane be out of quarantine in time?

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

#worldbeating

Will Kane be out of quarantine in time?

Yes. He didn't play, but was present and named on the bench for Spurs' friendly vs Birmingham the other day.

 

[Lord Camomile]

3 right backs. 0 left backs. What the fuck is this squad?

Trippier apparently filling in at LB, Walker at RB, TAA on the bench.

Foden and Ward-Prowse also start.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, and apparently Dier in defence and Sancho wearing number 9

 

[Lord Camomile]

Getting in the mood.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Already denied a goal because there's not VAR
