Yamal to miss the start of the WC

 

🇧🇷💔 João Pedro’s family waited all evening for Carlo Ancelotti to call up João Pedro for the World Cup… but in the end, his name was never announced.

The Scotland squad announcement video is something we'll never do. It'll be some lame pop music over the top head banging cliche

 

Craig Gordon being there shows how poor Scottish goalkeeping depth must be. Liam Kelly and Angus Gunn both second choices for their clubs as well.

 

Angus gunn Hasn't played a league game all season I think. He's even behind ortega. Gordon hasn't played for 6 months

 

I know he hasn’t featured for Scotland for a while but McBurnie is comfortably better than most of those Forwards.

 

2 league starts between the 3 of the them over this season

 

Ewan Mcgregor that patriotic Scotsman thats lived in America for the last 20 odd years and has an US passport.

 

Just be thankful that Wales didn't qualify. They'd have rolled out Michael Sheen. Doing bread of heaven or some such thing.

 

There is 23 and half years between Craig Gordon and Findlay Curtis. That must be close if not the record age gap between oldest and youngest player for a World Cup squad.

Craig Gordon’s Scotland debut was 22 years ago!

 

Or Anthony Hopkins saying how the Welsh are God's people

 

We'd have Hugh grant stuttering

' well yes erm....actually....erm. hoorah for England...and all that....erm no...er actually erm England is a great country and the English are erm yes erm great people'

 

We'll probably get Stomzy and Pink Pantheress to rap a mash up of the squad announcement with Shakespere's sonnets or something.

 

Probably more like David Beckham trying sell something and the squad being an after thought.

 

We're ********ing England and Saint George he slayed the ********ing dragon and England got a draw. Come on u England we're going to ********ing win

I like this

 

Im starting to realise how out of touch I am compared to what I used to be in terms of being knowledgeable about other teams when I’ve never heard of Findlay Curtis

 

That’s pure AI nonsense btw

 

I'm not sure that Findlay Curtis knows who Findlay Curtis is.

 

He’s not particularly deserving of a spot, but they have literally no wingers. He was on loan at Kilmarnock from Rangers, couldn’t get a game for Rangers because Mikey Moore was comfortably out playing him.
