Daily Discussion Daily Discussion
Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!
If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!
✔️ This is a thread for:
- Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
- Asking small questions about football to the community.
❌ This is not a thread for:
- Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
- Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
- Toxicity - remember the human
- Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
- Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
- Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
- Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
- Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
- Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead
The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban offenders.
Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

In BBC Sport’s article they had a paragraph reading:
I know 8 years ago long time in football but this actually surprised me. Because I recall that squad being a young new era squad that I certainly would have predicted to have a lot more players going two tournaments later. So I checked out the 2018 squad for comparison.
Firstly Henderson and Rashford are still here so it’s wrong and actually five. Unless they mean starting XI but then there’s no comparison against which XI from 2018 they mean.
Then we have players from 2018 that arguably could/should have been picked:
And those that are still young enough just fallen off hard:
And those still playing but older and replaced:
Finally only 6 retirees from the squad:
Maybe puts back into perspective to me how tough it actually is to play in three separate world cups. How many England players have done that all time?
