I'd argue we have the best coaching set-up for a fullback. Coleman, Baines and Ashley Cole are all at the club in some format.

Fair point
bored already and the first game doesn't start for another 24 hours! bloody waste of time competition with one tabloid even trying to stir up interest by talking about players giving the fascist salute the last time they played in Milan (almost 90 years ago...)
Just saw that Jesus wasn't picked for Brazil while someone like Cunha who has barely played this season is in the squad.
Yes we are in the playoffs if we win our Nations League group but that’s just not all as the big one is we go in as a pot 2 team for the Euro qualification draw in October meaning we avoid a potential group of death. Looking at the other Nations League groups as they presently stand, France, England & Switzerland could end up being in pot two as well.
Scotland were unreal against Ukraine last night in the first half until I went to bed. They played them off the park, and 3-0 doesn't flatter them.
Not sure how Lyndon Dykes scores two goals in any football match though.

We play well against the teams that we are expected to struggle against mostly, against the minnows we struggle.
We (Scotland) should play a back 4 all the time. Back 5 nonsense at teams should be a last resort rather than a go to tactic unless you’re Conte.
Zeno Debast starts for Belgium at the age of 18. Been an impressive breakthrough season for him.
He let Jesus and Gabriel out because they're pretty much guaranteed to be in the final WC squad. He wanted to try out other candidates. Bit more worrying for Martinelli though but he still has a chance to be there.
How can Trossard not get a start? Top form for Brighton last few months while Hazard still hardly plays much at Real Madrid.
Belgium just not refreshing their team enough to be serious contender at world cup imo, have England 2010 vibes about them. Jeremy Doku was another who looked lively in last euros but isn't involved so guessing injury.
Wales really struggling in central midfield without guys like Ramsey and Joe Allen around.

KDB gives Belgium the lead against Wales.
Top class as usual by KDB.
Gakpo gives Netherlands lead against Poland.
United are seemingly lucky, the mandatory injured french defender is Koundé.
10+ major injuries in the French squad already and Koundé comes out after 20 minutes
Belgium, 2015 just called, it wants its squad back.
Close by Belgium.
We could do with De Bruyne catching a cold here.
Is it just me or is Mbappe better with Giroud than with Benzema?
It's hard to tell but Giroud has been brilliant at linking up the play this half.
Great double save by the Austrian keeper.
De Bruyne is just too good, man.
Tchouimeni (however the feck you spell his name) is so good.
Everyone is generally better with Giroud than Benzema when it comes to France.
Courtois makes a couple of saves.
That makeshift french team has been surprisingly good, the finishing is lacking but the rest has been good.
Yeah, as great as Benzema is individually I'm not sure he has been a net positive for France.
Something has not been right since his return. With Giroud the team is clearly a better unit.
He has never really been a positive for France, individually he is brilliant and can win games for France but collectively, it's not ideal.
Moore pulls goal back for Wales.
Croatia lead 1-0 vs Denmark. Battle for first spot
Mbappe has been great. Surely one of these chances have to go in.
Mbappe scores for France.
Milik is such a donkey footballer 
Greedy bastard scores
It could be me but this reads like the least intuitive expression ever for a non-native english speaker.
Fantastic soloraid goal from Mbappe! Keeper should have done better though.
