Order was pre-determined by Gary before the game..... Gary asks each at the last minute "you still up for it?"..... The same 5 accepted.
I don't think anyone has claimed Saka was "forced" to take one.

And of course no professional footballer says no under those circumstances.
A professional footballer would also look like an idiot demanding to push his way into the rotation.
It's Southgate's decision, he didn't let bullshit on the day sway him, which is correct.
Basing it all on who can hit them past Dean Henderson in training is another matter.
Mount has had a great season but was miles of the pace last night. How grealish didn’t get on for him was another case of rabbit in the headlights from GaryI think with De Bruyne available, he'd still be sitting on the bench into extra time waiting for Mount to get subbed off.
Southgate got so much right all tournament but he shat the bed in glorious fashion last night
Should have been practicing penalties instead of politics
I know I sound like a broken record, but Mount had been off the pace all tournament.
No.You follow GB news?
I do look at their twitter feed from time to time. Same as I look at BBC, Sky, GMB, etc.
I don't see a problem with Grealish saying that. He's had to warm the bench most of this tournament watching Mason Mount put in poor performance after poor performance, creating nothing, but still getting picked. He must be thinking what do I have to do to get a game? Then he gets this thrown at him. He's reacted from a position of deep disappointment.
Overlooking Grealish for more workmanlike alternatives is classic England, continuing a long history of suspicion of flair players who 'can't defend'. As Platini once said to Hoddle 'If you'd been born French you'd have won 150 caps'. These days France find space for Pogba whereas we leave our most creative player on the bench.
The lads injured and awaiting surgery. His form has clearly suffered as a result. He put of the operation to understudy kane (which tells you bit about his character and also the levels of belief in DCL)
No question.
The only positive of COVID??? Those that attended supporting Italy I can only assume were British Italians and Italians living here, which I think is a different crowd that would have visited had there been no travel restrictions out of Italy??
So you're saying Italians are some kind of wild people?
