I expect QPR to be inept but it's hard to take from a group of supposedly elite players. I am expecting to go out in the next round, not because we're playing Mexico at the Azteca, but because we're playing like a bunch of tarts. |  |

It's not just the players he didn't select. Mainoo, not featured, despite the CM looking woeful. 2-0 up against Panama and he brings on Henderson! Watching England today reminded me of QPR under Warburton. Pretty good going forward, but open as anything at the back. Imagine us against the French. It'd be Agincourt in reverse. |  |

| England Thread ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ on 19:04 - Jul 1 by DWQPR | No better than under Southgate. Slow, sideways and backwards and playing players out of position because the manager didnโt pick the right squad. I bet TAA is laughing at the moment, ending with Rice and right back. So when Liveramento pulled out what was the point in picking Chalabah? The guy has been nowhere the team. Apart from Kane we really do have very little. Donโt fancy our chances against Mexico at all. Wonโt bother to stay up for that. |
It was far better under Southgate, We'll look back on his time as manager as a golden period |  | |  |

Iโm still not clear why Spenceโs bridle needs to have his squad number (25) displayed on it. Some say itโs to help referees and other officials quickly identify the player, as if the name and number on his shirt (and shorts) isnโt enough. |  | |  |

Harry Kane is a real saviour and the best centre forward in the modern game. We are a bit of a mess defensively and it will be our undoing, going to be a real slog in the Azteca. In a strange way starting as underdogs in that environment may work in our favour, but a fully pumped up Mexico with 90,000 Mexican fans could be a little too much for our boys, but you never know. |  | |  |

I would as well, but in a back three with Saka & O'Reilly as wing backs. I doubt it will happen though. |  | |  |

Agree. It's Raul Jiminez up front. Great story but he should be able to be shackled. Mental squad with a cast of thousands at centre back who are there because they are good blokes |  |

Well yes but let's turn this round and start or try starting to be a bit more positive, not a direct moan at you but I can smell a bit of defeatism creeping In. |  |

I'm going to be slightly negative and mention that the Azteca is at high altitude. England are going there with not much time to acclimatise, which could be a problem. Even if we get through it could take a lot out of the players and there's only a few days to prepare for the semis. Let's hope we can get the job done against Mexico in ninety minutes. |  | |  |
