Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Toronto Villa]

Morgan Rogers has never been effective for us on the right. He is starting tonight on the right for England.

[Chip Butty 111]

Should have Rogers left and Gordon right...no one, the BBC especially, realise the position Rogers plays every week? They all think he's a No10...bizarre

[Dave]

Hmm.

Best of luck etc. But a massive performance tonight could plausibly be the difference between someone deciding that actually he is worth breaking transfer records for.

Conflicting.

[TonyD]

Argentina like to play through the middle.
With two wide players for England it plays into their hands.
Could be end to end. 
Rogers should be on the left.

This is the one WC match I can see having issues off the pitch as both sets of fans have twats thst seem worked up and intent on baiting each other. Neither set of fans are going to be gracious winners or losers is my worry.

I don’t think he’ll play wide. To me he’s an old fashioned inside forward. So I’d go for a 4-2-2-2 formation effectively. Might solve some of our creative issues as well!

Expected team

[Dogtanian]

God, not that clogger Kane starting again! Need fresh blood… a Villan.

Either way. It’s better than Madueke starting. 
Just need the keep Eze off the pitch.

We had a large group of Boca ultras sitting in front of us at the 2014 final. They were a feisty lot that didn't take the defeat (or our 'crying eyes' gestures) very well.

[Chip Butty 111]

Waiting for some ' made in Solihull' nonsense if the boys score..

[andyh]

Morgs in
Ezri out

Ezri not starting is a travesty

[Chip Butty 111]

Blimey, no Konsa with James at RB, and Spence at LB.
Is anyone playing in their natural position?

[Chip Butty 111]

Hope I'm wrong, getting clown show vibes here.
Could be a change in formation possibly?

Word on the street is that Los Borrachos del Tablón are well oiled and up for a rumble.
