Can't remember what World Cup they both played at?

Yes which is my point, the issue is VAR consistency not "cheating" Argentina

Except that was a clear penalty for holding...

Weird take - nothing to do with Argentina... the refs have been told to take a zero tolerance approach to holding and shirt pulling in the box. Just need consistency after the Maguire hold which was much worse than this one which was given.

Argentina penalty given by VAR, same as the Maguire incident

I'd love a late USA winner just to hear John Hartson start crying.

What a clueless challenge, no need to lunge in

Wales making a bang average Pulisic look like Messi.

Ivan Toney

Rodon is crap. Great ball and finish

If only there was a 25 page world cup thread to discuss this in...

Mendy had a stinker for Senegal, his form has completely gone after looking decent for Chelsea last season and at AFCON. The Wales game should be good, can't really call it.

90% off Chris Martin...

Getting a bit weird now...

They have obviously been watching us... On paper we should get battered, but as we all know football is played on grass not paper so therefore we definitely will get battered.

True, only 8?!

What English players are in such good form at the moment and deserving of a place? He has brought in Maddison, Wilson, Ben White who are all in good form, we don't have the strength in depth to replace other players and as much as swapping Maguire for a Webster/Ben Mee is isn't likely to happen.

Some bits leaking... Assume this means Wilson is in.... He also says unsure on Maddison but no places for Tomori, Guehi, Abraham.

If you are only picking players on form you could leave half that squad out!

Didn't want to start a new thread but for @Davefevs@Mr Popodopoloushow bad/catastrophic would relegation to League One be for the club in its current financial state? The FFP are slightly different aren't they?!

So Andrew Rolls is a massive fraud, who knew?!

After Cardiff its happened again, what it is with coked up stone island youths who enjoy criminal damage? Nice hefty bill to be paid by Swansea City. https://www.planetswans.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10626
