No Nainggolan.

[beak]

Given his apparently successful season at Anderlecht, and our apparent need to shift him so we can sign Dubravka permanently, I am urgently trying to work out the optimum Matz Sels... But Who's Buying? pun. Any and all assistance is appreciated.

[blameless]

If Martinez doesn't rate Nainggolan as a midfielder, surely he's still a better option for third goalkeeper than Mignolet?

[Levin]

Or even maybe not take 4 goalkeepers.

Until this moment I had no idea that this was Koke's real name. That's awesome.

[JM Footzee]

Or even maybe not take 4 goalkeepers.

He's still got five to cut.

[Felicity, I guess so]

Kepa Arrizabalaga (Athletic Bilbao)

Given where Athletic finished this season, is it the case he might be a dodgy Kepa..?

[anton pulisov]

I see that Brazil remembered to bring Miranda and Felipe Luis this time around.

Maybe they won't get tonked 7-1 this time around...

[Incandenza]

Sane left out of the Germany squad, and Kevin Trapp named as third keeper ahead of Bernd Leno.

[ad hoc]

Leaving out Sane and taking Mario Gomez instead is some kind of arrogance. We'll handicap ourselves and still beat you all

[Jah Womble]

Let's hope that this is the first indication of some kind of imminent German World Cup-meltdown.

(Clue: it won't be.)
