But what's the point of that? If we don't play him at least we know he won't do anything, but someone else might have the chance to. Bench the dead weight and give someone else a chance. The time to sit on the bench might also remind him what his job is and help him focus a bit if he comes on as a sub. I'd rather see Mount, Grealish, Foden, Saka, Sterling pushing forwards and Kane on the bench.

Sterling, Foden
Grealish, Mount, Saka
Henderson
Chilwell, Maguire, Stones, Walker
Henderson

We all know he's going to play:

Sterling, Kane
Mount, Foden
Philips, Henderson (or Rice)
Shaw, Maguire, Stones, Walker
Pickford

Why would you drop Pickford? He's been relatively solid in an England shirt recently.
 
Germany ground out that draw in the last 30 minutes. If they bring that side of their game we're not going to survive trying to protect a one-goal lead.
 
Ive crunched the numbers on the remaining teams capable of winning:

italy 2 euro finals and 3 world cup finals since 1982 won 2 lost 3 40%

germany 4 euro finals and 5 world cup finals since 1980 won 4 lost 5 44.44%

spain 3 euro finals and 1 world cup final since 1984 won 3 lost 1 75%

france 3 euro finals and 3 world cup finals since 1984 won 4 lost 2 66.67%

england 0 euro finals and 0 world cup finals since 1967 won 0 lost 0 100% (plus 1997 Le Tournoi)
 
Not sure I follow those stats, but here's one:

England, guaranteed to crash out and break young hopeful hearts: 100%
Timing of the exit? Anywhere between now and the end. Usually sooner rather than later.

There's only one team in those stats who have never been beaten at a major final.

It's coming home!

The german's adopted that song when they won in 96. They sang it when they won their last world cup. It might well be coming home, but perhaps to someone else's home?

Or swap Grealish for Mount.
