Nice to see our Ben has been called back to the England team. Hope he enjoys his games and comes back in one piece ready for the run in! ⚽️ ??????? ?.

Another player to potentially get injured. I have no time for these waste of time friendlies.

Nor me, Banbury, dragging players halfway around the world for a stupid and pointless game, which at no time has helped us towards winning a WC or Euro.

What's the point of Kane, Saka, Rice and others going when they are a shoe in to start the first game in the World Cup, we know what they are like so my put more stress on them and risk injury. Senseless, I would have spoken to the players and explained why they aren't in this squad.

Friendlies or not, surely the teams need to get instructions/work together before a World Cup?
I understand all the comments above, but managers and their players need time together before such a huge competition, I reckon.
I read that Rice and Saka will sit the first game out, which seems a good idea.
And. who knows how the World Cup will go, or if it will go at all! Anyone on here going?

Hello Sally, hope you are well.
Banbury has summed it up with his comments about Kane, Saka, etc. If they need pointless friendlies to gel together, and Tuchel needs to see who gels and who his best 11 is, well, we are in serious trouble.
Take care.
