Report Suggests Magpie Will Get Another Cap For England Today



It appears from reports this morning that Gareth Southgate will name an unchanged eleven for England’s Group B clash against The United States this evening. The Chronicle is one of the outlets reporting of a ‘leaked’ teamsheet that shows no changes from the 6-2 win over Iran.

There was some consternation this week over the fitness of striker Harry Kane. The 28-year-old took a heavy challenge against Iran and was subbed off for Callum Wilson. Kane underwent a scan on his ankle a few days ago which came back clear.

Southgate hinted yesterday that Kane would start against the States saying:

“Harry Kane is good. He came through tests with no problems. It would be a brave decision to leave him out of the starting team.

“All teams have the same recovery period. It is a little shorter than in previous tournaments. Only will only benefit us if we get through the group stages, where we might have a longer period to recover as you get through the competition.”

If Southgate keeps with the eleven that soundly downed Iran, it’ll be another cap for Kieran Trippier. The right-back carried his excellent Newcastle form to Qatar as he was superb in Monday’s win.

England are the heavy favorites to advance from their group. Wales and the USA battled to a 1-1 draw on Monday. The Welsh face Iran in today’s early match as manager Rob Page makes one change with Kieffer Moore in for Daniel James.

The World Cup got underway for two other Magpies on Thursday. Fabian Schar was an unused substitute in Switzerland’s 1-0 win over Cameroon. Bruno Guimaraes also didn’t get on the pitch as Brazil beat Serbia 2-0 on two Richarlison strikes. Both countries are well-placed in Group G for Monday’s showdown.

    JohnJ – Ward is a decent keeper too mind you. Not sure there’s too much between them to be honest.

    Dazzler,

    I get what you’re saying ref. Iran however they just weren’t allowed to operate like this against us. It’s pretty much why I worry about when/if we come across a better team the Southgate goes with 2 DM’s again and throttles us by doing so.

    Don’t know what Hennessy was thinking? Coming out and challenging with your boot head high isn’t a good idea. 😉

    And there’s a goal for Iran.

    DrGloom,

    I was in 45 Commando’s Royal Marines and when we joined/signed up to the British Army we swore an “Oath of Allegiance” not to the government of the day, but to our Queen of the day and her successors now King Charles III…

    Your post #90 is a disgrace tbh and points me to believe that you must have been part of the brass band of the Salvation Army. You’ll have a busy time coming up with Christmas on the horizon.

    Yet another leftie loony mask has slipped. Such a bunch of toxic people!

    Feel sorry for the Welsh, gave it a good go. Need better midfield players maybe.
    What will the yanks do now, come for the result or go for a draw and leave it to their last game against Iran?
    Interesting to see how they set up.

    If he served in the military does it really matter who he personally fought for?

    The fact he served deserves respect IMO, whether it was for Queen, Country or both.

    Fenham,

    Different folk have different reasons why they join up. While I am pro-monarchy, it was the lack of decent employment that led me up them steps in Gunner House pal.
    Of course when you sign that blank cheque for everything up to and including your life, you’re doing it for all citizens, the queen being one of them.

    FTC,

    You’re right, I’m not. But Dr Gloom is and he doesn’t share your viewpoint and has a different stance on why he served.

    In reality, you both did and both deserve respect for it IMV. It’s a courageous and dangerous job regardless of your reasons for signing up. Pro-monarchy or not you still put your health and life on the line to serve.

    Iran thoroughly deserved that. Remember when Sanchez took out Wilson and denied him a goal. Ok, they were punished with ten men for twenty minutes but that’s not difficult in such a short time. I think the FK should be taken with no keeper in those circumstances OR a penalty no matter where the offence takes place.

    Jail,

    It met the criteria for violent conduct for sure so straight red. The ref from Guatemala initially thought differently as he probably sees that every week! The defender was probably far enough back to cover so only a yellow in the refs eyes. VAR man persuaded him otherwise, could see him talking when he was looking at monitor. Another plus for the VAR I reckon.
