I couldn't see a thread for this so here goes. Everything Spurs in the World Cup in one thread. What could possible go wrong?

Starting off with the squad announcements. So far we have Eriksen for Denmark, Sanchez for Colombia, and Son for South Korea. No surprises there. I couldn't see Lamela in the Argentina squad though. England squad should be up soon.

Updated..

England: Rose, Trippier, Dier, Alli, Kane
Denmark: Eriksen
Colombia: Sanchez
South Korea: Son
France: Lloris
Belgium: Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dembele

Who else is in with a chance?

Along with the 4/5 England lads we'll have Lloris, Sissoko (unlikely), Toby, Jan, Dembele. Is that it?

Yep that's pretty much it. The biggest question in my mind is whether Rose will make the England squad. We should have Dier, Alli, Kane and Trippier nailed down.

Well he may go with walker and trent arnold. Do we need 3 RB's in the team

Trippier did play right centre recently so I think he will be included in the squad. It gives us the option if we go 3 at the back.

SSN think Rose is in too.

Apart from ours the squad looks awful! Would of liked to see Shelvey in there.

You were right. Too defensive imo.
I don't like Dier and Henderson together in centre midfield but I expect they will both start. The only way to make it work really is to play Dier in a back 3. Otherwise 2 defensive midfielders is going to be hard to watch.

Hope Rose is not there so he has all summer to get Poch fit.

There is no one in that midfield who can control the game, take the ball off the defence, pick a pass and dictate play.. Thats what I worry about. The squad looks very average and for players like delph, young and cahill to be getting in just shows the lack of quality.

there's never a time when I dont laugh at an england squad.

1. 3 keepers, since fucking when did we need 3 keepers
2. terrence trent d'arby, probably sang, if you let me gooo oo ooh, down the phone, so he was picked, and L Cheek? shows you exactly why you'll get selected for england for only who you 'play' for.
3. 3 RB's ? really
4. Gary Cahill still being picked, see point 2.
5. Danny Welbeck, well I suppose they had to have one player going.

Eriksen made it eh? Out of no where...

I can see a scenario where he lights up the tournament and draws a shed load of interest

Trent has actually been excellet is this breakout year and fully deserves to go, brilliant pick from Southgate theere TBH... the rest bar ours (- Rose)...MEH

Feel bad for Winks. He would’ve 100% be in this squad and a player like him is what England needs.
I’m confident in saying that if Poch didn’t buy Aurier and trusted in KWP he would’ve been in that squad. I’ve said it before he’s better than Trippier and TAA imo.
Lewis Cook is in the standby list, like him but Onomah was better than him at the U20 WC. If only we didn’t send him to loan to Villa...

And Sessegnon and Sancho got robbed, how Welbeck and Cahill made the squad instead of them is a joke

Queue the negative press reaction to how many of our lads were in the starting XI when they don’t get past the group stage....

you take 3 keepers in case 1 gets injured, which isn't impossible
the Liverpool lad has been very good this season
i think Walker will be used in a 3 at the back
Gary Cahill I agree, but in CB it's not our best position
Welbeck shouldn't be in, he is too high risk of injury and doesn't provide enough
