Group A Relegations: Bosnia, Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland Group B Promotions: Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Wales Group B Relegations: Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria Been a good recent run for Hungary between qualifying for Euro and now Group A promotion. And an equally bad one for Iceland.
Too bad the Netherlands and Luxembourg weren’t in group H to complete the collection of similar flags
5 years? Thats kind of amazing? I saw Martial is expect to be named, I'm guessing that means Giroud is odd man out?
The Spain squad. Laporte named as expected. Some surprising exclusions too and no Real Madrid players.
He hasn’t been fully healthy since like February but still surprising that Ramos would get left out. No Hermoso or Aspas is surprising too. Edit: Also Nacho absolutely deserved to be on the squad, a laughable omission.
So Lingard did not make the cut. He is somehow included not only in the squad for today's friendly, but in the starting lineup (?) vs Austria. Looks like Southgate included a few others on the bench, but I'm thrown as to a reason to be mixing in non-squad players at this time...
Ahh makes partial sense as none of the 4 United players (who played in EL final on Wed) are included for England either. However, other United players are dressed (and starting) for France, Wales, Holland, etc., some despite going beyond 90 minutes (Pogba) in that cup final. I wonder if it's a 3 lions thing....
