Trippier is the better defender than Shaw or Chilwall, could be needed for the liability of Tyrone Mings, and offers set pieces. Can easily see it happening.

For any side trying to play good football it doesn't make sense but for a Southgate side trying to crawl their way through results I see it.

That's a fair point.

The amount of tournaments England start with a 1-1 draw feels pretty high. That’s where my hypothetical money would be going.

One thing in their advantage is the number of good attacking options. They should be using the five subs today in this heat and whoever comes off the bench out of Sancho, Rashford, Sterling, Grealish etc should be able to make an impact.

It would suit England more to finish second anyway in the group.

Looks like Chilwell is injured? Same for Sancho - not in the 23 I don't think!

Don't they have to drop three as you are only allowed a certain number?

Personally I'd go with a centre back who wasn't Tyrone Mings and pick my best left back instead, but that's just me and I'm not being paid the big bucks Southgate is.

1990, 1996, 2002, 2010, 2012, 2016.

With a 0-0 in 1992 as well (Denmark).

Defeats to start in 1986, 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2014.

Since I can remember (1986) I think that means the only wins to start a tournament have been against Tunisia twice and Paraguay. Is that about right?

They do have to drop 3 for match day squad yeah but do you really pick 2 keepers for bench?

Edit: apparently you have to have 2 keepers on bench?

Still bizarre to drop Sancho (if he isn’t injured).
