Nicola Sturgeon's up for the whole of Scotland isolating isn't she?
Wakey, I reckon you've got the defence spot on and I do think he'll make the mistake of picking Henderson. Having spent a few years in Huddersfield I can't remember seeing any pitches that would accommodate three wide men. I hope he'll go Sancho, Grealish and Rashford because Grealish is more likely to pick a through ball from the middle of the pitch than any of the alternatives. The only trouble is I fear that team might win, because Kane would then score. And far be it from me to challenge typical Yorkshire bravery in taking on the best at the first opportunity, but I'd take a draw, finish second and play whoever from Group E wherever and WIN! There's always a chance a moderate side will play above themselves, knock out a top team and give us a readily-winnable quarter final. Why bat against Jimmy Anderson if you can get away with facing Dom Sibley?
That said, I'd want to go three at the back with Walker, Maguire and Stones, but Southgate seems to have benched creative thinking for now, much to my amazement.
