Curtis, Gomes,Gordon and Gibbs-white were all so good in the u21s euros and now they are not eligible for the youth teams. Isn't it sensible to give any of them a callup atleast against malta or north macedonia rather than calling up players with no gametime? Also Gordon is performing way better than rashford.

There's a theory Southgate wants to win EURO 2024 and then quit on a high so isn't doing any groundwork for beyond that.

But even if that was true, there are some older selections in the squad who aren't better than the younger players coming through in the here and now.

Jones is out injured until after the break anyway

No mention of Palmer?

Don't think there'll be a penalty shoot out. And he isn't better at penalties than Kane so no reason to include him.
