Gibbs White and Wharton are the only ones I think could feel somewhat hard done by.

If it came down to Mainoo or Wharton, I would probably have gone Wharton but I don’t think there is too much in it.

Roger’s or MGW - I feel like MGW is in better form, but Roger’s is quality, so again fuck all in it.

Foden and Palmer have had gash seasons - both need to buck their ideas up
 
I’m really very confused on “henderson for his experience and leadership” and then taking Dan fucking Burn over Maguire. I can only think it’s a personal dislike for the player.
Dan Burn's actually been pretty decent for England when he's played and can also cover at full-back. Slabhead's fine but he's hardly a big miss. I certainly wouldn't be starting him so makes sense for a back-up to be versatile imo. Can always throw Burn on at LB late in the game to cause chaos in the box if we need a plan B.

The one I'm more surprised at is Quansah, although I guess he's in for the same reason as he can cover at RB?

Qaunsah has been excellent in Germany. I’d take him over Konate who starts at Liverpool in a heartbeat.
 
There’s a handful better than theirs and it’s not like they have some wonderful squad harmony, the results have been poor in general.

France have an absolutely stacked squad - clear favourites.
France stacked up front and clear favourites agreed. Favourites don’t always win. Argentina weren’t favourites last time.

Obviously Brazil is a romantic pick but I can see them picking up momentum in an Americas WC
