@katiee19xox Premier Inn on water lane £10 for 10hrs

Any tips on where to park in Watford for Wembley game?? Pls (biggest stress head ever with parking)

@henrywinter He’s more of a goal threat too, look at the huge goals he’s scored for UTD to win them games. And takes the best pen I’ve ever seen

Harry Maguire has to be ahead of Trevoh Chalobah in the England central-defensive pecking order. It’s not even a serious debate. Chalobah, 26, has only 90 mins’ international experience, the friendly loss to Senegal. Maguire is 33 but is in form and brings all the experience of 64 caps, including at two World Cups. He brings leadership, distribution, importance at corners and penalty-taking. Chalobah also needs to regain fitness and get back in the Chelsea side. Maguire also has to be ahead of Dan Burn, a Thomas Tuchel favourite but not always the most confident against swift, elite-level attackers. Maguire himself can be caught out but currently showing his abilities, including anticipation of danger, after being restored to Manchester United’s defence by Michael Carrick. If Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa are England’s first-choice pairing (depending on John Stones’ problematic fitness issues), then Maguire makes a reliable first change from the bench (especially with pace alongside). He also brings leadership off the pitch and an important sounding board for management, FA staff and younger players. #ENG

@CraigHope_DM I liked the appointment of Tuchel at first, now I’m beginning to question it a lot. Maguire is arguably a starter not just a maybe for the squad. Strange few months ahead

🚨 NEW: Thomas Tuchel warns Harry Maguire he's still behind several rivals & may need injuries before he goes to World Cup 🗣️ "I see other players ahead with a different profile" 👇 Full story as Tuchel NAMES those ahead of Man Utd defender dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

@EvanFergusonEra @EnglandOnOurWay Nowhere I’d rather be.

@EnglandOnOurWay Mad that we've won the same amount as England in our lifetimes. Enjoy losing another final or semi final in July

🚨 Sales in Croatia, Ghana and Panama flags are expected to rise in Dublin & Cardiff over the next two months 🍋

@bcafctalhah Make it red so it doesn’t look like a Scotland shirt and you’ve got a winner

If only we were adidas... this would easily be our best selling shirt of all time. World Cup winning kit.

@ChatShirt @vladieboi Just get rid of the triangle and it’s a start!

Give this the England 86 or 88 collar & it would’ve been up there as one of England’s best … Nike & these fucking collars, man. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 📸 from : @vladieboi

@Ankaman616 @TheAthleticFC Shaw for MLS and I’d be happy with that squad

Put Danny Welbeck in the England 2026 squad. Ask questions later. Joining a selection of writers from @TheAthleticFC for a World Cup Round Table. Who makes your 26 for England? nytimes.com/athletic/71205…

@EnglandOnOurWay It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t see Bellingham. He’s been out injured for a month. But the media will surely spin it into a big issue

Are we expecting any shocks? Last squad announcement before the World Cup. First time at Wembley for 134 days!

@philclarke0170 And the US get it in 2038 again too!!!

Mad to think the World Cup Final returns to the USA 32 years later, while #England are still waiting 60 years later to host it again.

@EnglandOnOurWay @UEFAEURO UEFA have just gone we will show you how to do it properly 😂 love it!

UEFA release their ticketing intentions ahead of Euro 2028. 🎟️ 3,000,000 tickets ↕️ No dynamic pricing 💰40% in most affordable categories 📆 Tickets on sale AFTER draw made @UEFAEURO

As I said on the latest pod, there needs to be some action, over on the ESTC Facebook page, there is talk of a mass walk out to make our own FA see we're not happy with #FIFAWorldCup2026 ticket prices.

@FreddyLA7 You joke but parking is $175 from FIFA 😂

My ticket for the Nations League final was literally only €150 and it was a Category 1 seat right next to the pitch. For €150 at the World Cup I might get a parking ticket… this is ridiculous.

@henrywinter All they have to do Henry is adopt the model UEFA have when it comes to allocation and ticket prices. I think if we had something along those lines we would be a very happy bunch

Judging by last night’s triumphalist “5m ticket requests” statement, FIFA doesn’t sound in the mood for any immediate re-think on the excessive ticket prices for the World Cup. Nor is the FA likely to stand up to FIFA. But all parties - administrators, organisers, national associations - have to work more closely with fans’ groups to avoid a repeat in the future. And listen to them. Just because this World Cup is (predominantly) in the US doesn’t mean FIFA should always embrace the Wild West ethos.  It will doubtless be a great World Cup - so many good teams and players, fascinating countries and eye-catching venues, drama aplenty and with the greatest prize in sport at stake - but it will also be tarnished by the creed of greed that defines the ticketing policy. This ticketing fiasco - real and PR - could have been avoided with better consultation with fans, with more judicious thinking and by Gianni Infantino remembering that the game without fans is nothing. So treat them with respect. So here’s a suggestion which I’ve run by some England fans. If FIFA cared more about supporters and atmosphere it would commit to a fairer, larger and non-changeable official ticket allocation per team in the future. Embedded in its statutes, stipulated in bid documents. Non-changeable.  Imagine if Fifa committed in the future to, say, 15% of capacity for each participating team. If this criteria had been in place for 2026 … that would have been a fairer 10,500 for England and Croatia each in 70,000-capacity Dallas. At a fair, non-changeable price agreed with associations of, say, between £60-£80 group stage.  21,000 real fans, members of their national associations’ supporters’ clubs, would generate the atmosphere that television wants and pays for. Fans would be more inclined to spend on merch if not feeling ripped off on tickets. It would give fans more incentive to attend qualifying games home or away at a time when qualifying loses some of its edge with so many teams getting through to expanded competitions.  It would also reduce accusations of greed being launched at FIFA, a “not-for-profit organisation”. Football deserves better. #FIFAWorldCup

Please uncap the pre-tournament friendlies @FA. Do something for the fans and don't punish us further. We are being rinsed for the love of our country. RTs very welcome. #FollowEnglandAway

@ENGkemish94 Why is the pitch in that state?

Hamstring - Torn Calf - Torn Playing on pitch at Wembley - Priceless What an experience that was last night, credit to the Travel Club for putting this event on, if you can definitely apply for it next year. Once in a lifetime opportunity! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️ #FollowEnglandAway #Wembley

@DavidVujanic But as England Fans we have to pay for all the tickets up front so say over £5k so if they go down we don’t benefit

World Cup Ticket prices will deffo go down eventually, they’ll be giving them away closer to games. No way Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde in Texas Houston fills up 😅 Respectfully x

@aIexcarrillo @matalmlg @p_franklin5 @EnglandOnOurWay Yeh NY - Atlanta for R32 then to Dallas to fly to Mexico City for R16

Who has booked their WC trip? What's your route? 🧭🌍

@JustMattWatts @Lawton_Times You have to pay for tickets upfront through so you’re not getting a refund until August

@Lawton_Times Seeing as we won’t get to the final - It’s irrelevant anyway Matt

NEW: Cheapest World Cup final ticket to cost England fans more than £3,000. FA has written today to England Supporters’ Travel Club with pricing figures. First group game to final comes in at over £5000. thetimes.com/article/0c733e…
