Euro: Euro 2024: announced squads, pre-tournament friendlies etc.

- Start date
He won't be on the plane.
Some difficult decisions for GS. Thought Wharton looked good but has he done enough? Eze showed he should be in the final squad but both Grealish and Madison played well too. Feel like at least one of them will miss out, probably between Grealish and Madison.
Lol Belichek is Croatian too funny.
I presume Trafford, Dunk, Quansah, Maddison, Bowen and Jones don't make the final cut. Final spot is between Eze and Wharton. Don't think Wharton will make it this time.
There will only be Rice, Bellingham, Mainoo, Gallagher Foden, Saka, Kane, Palmer, TAA, Gordon and Grealish that will get on the pitch during the tournament. Toney strictly for penalties.

Problem is Otavio is much better defensively than Nunes for that CM position. And playing every minute for Saudi is better than less a quarter of the minutes City play. Not to mention losing a ton of leadership without Otavio.
Please. Being a rotational squad player for City is still playing at a far higher, more competitive level than doing anything in Saudi Arabia. Every player who comes back from there for international duty looks like shit. Neves, Otavio, and Ronaldo all started in a friendly recently and they were collectively embarrassing. Couldn't even hack it against the likes of Slovenia. The fact that Ronaldo is a goal-a-game there at almost 40 says it all. Somehow I doubt that kind of form is going to translate to the tournament.
Losing a "ton of leadership". Uh, sure. They have more than enough leadership and experience in the squad without Otavio. The guy doesn't even have 20 caps for Portugal, he's a fringe player.

A malign star kept him
Gotta say, haven't been very impressed with Bono since he went to Saudi either. Granted it was a small sample size and he'll sometimes see games with literally zero shots on net but he was disappointing at AFCON.
Henderson was awful for Ajax when he came back. There's probably more examples. Between the complacency that would set in from earning retirement money and the drastically reduced level of competitive play, no serious NT should have Saudi-based players in their squad, especially if they can be easily replaced.

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
England cuts are up to Trafford, Maddison, Jones, Grealish, Maguire. Two more left to do, who I imagine will be Quansah and either Toney or Watkins.
Maguire is reportedly because of the calf injury that kept him out from the end of the season. Still though, he missed the tailend of 2020-21 injured and Southgate took him, let him recover through the group stage, and he came back so strong in the knockouts he ended up on the Team of the Tournament. I'm very surprised by this.
Grealish is a form choice, but still a bit of a surprise. Shame that Pep ruined him.

Quansah apparently got cut, but that might have been before Maguire got ruled out? But they might want a left footed CB instead? Although Quansah has looked good at LCB?
Lost story short - I’m not taking him over Dunk who is like 10 years older and isn’t going to play either

Last I'm seeing is that Quansah is not yet confirmed, but is expected to be. In the battle of the guys whose names sound similar, I'd take Quansah over Konsa. And I also don't particularly like Lewis Dunk.
Expect it'll be Guehi next to Stones.

No but he won’t a World Cup.
England crashing and burning earlier than usual. Must be the jet lag from the Falkland Islands to Germany.
