Messi is clearly a great player but not sure Argentina a great team

Why did Southgate select Maddison in the squad ?
Why, with the game won would he send on Mason Mount, why not Maddison ? Mount has had game time.
I can understand Kalvin Phillips getting on, he has had little game time due to injury.
. . . Oh ! I know, he is saving Maddison for France

maybe he still injured, but they had to take him as it was too late to name a replacement. But it gives him time in the England set-up, he can see what he needs to do to become a regular and to be fair, hasn't really been needed.

No, not injured, he has been on the subs bench for the last two games.
" hasn't really been needed "
Nor was Mason Mount, with the game already won.
" but it gives him time in the England setup "
He has been in the England setup previously, and even got game time.
Southgate's words about Maddison after his squad was named.
Quote
“But he's playing exceptionally well. We like the fact that he finds those pockets of space. He turns, he plays forward and not enough players play forward in this day and age. And of course, his set-play delivery is outstanding and he can score goals from distance, which against low-block defences is another attribute that is a little bit different to some of our other players.”
Unquote
Southgate's 'man management' is reported as a strength ? Then give
all players game time if (I said if) the opportunity occurs.
Arent all the non starting 11 on the subs bench, they seem to all get named as subs in the TV programmes leading upto the game
as for the rest only southgate will know the answer, but right now the teams winning....so not much england fans can moan about really

Kounde and Hernandez will need good games to stop us marching to the SF's.

Have to do a lot better than that I'm afraid I don't think they've played
any real decent opponents yet so lets see how this pans out againts a quality side
The same could be said for Argentina….well other than the footballing super power KSA of course

Despite the sad, festering grudge I hold against Argentina, I would be OK with losing the WC final to a Messi hat-trick. He's a top chap

France will be tough, however they are a bit of a ' one trick pony '
Stop Mbappe and England have a good chance. Without Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante they are not the force they were.

Hmm ?
August 2017
" Last year, Messi and his father were convicted of defrauding Spain of €4.1 million in taxes, for which he was fined a total of €2.25 million, in addition to an earlier corrective repayment he voluntarily paid. "
