What we think the England starting 11 should be for the first game of the World Cup | OneFootball

England confirmed their place at next year’s World Cup with a 5-0 win over Latvia on Tuesday.

Boss Thomas Tuchel has already made some bold selection calls, including leaving Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden out of his latest squad altogether.

But several others have taken the chance to impress, with the likes of Morgan Rogers, Elliott Anderson and Djed Spence all staking a claim to keep their place in the side.
