Scotland making the place look untidy and should be removed.

Yup.
Pretty hard to imagine a cushier draw, really.
Although we did our best to stuff up an arguably even softer group (USA, Slovenia and Algeria) in 2010.

against Pool A in the second round as well, which is if possible even softer

Hand over that trophy now.

Jesus, even with 26 places to play with it looks thin AF.
Maguire; ugh. I mean, it was inevitable, but there's always that thin sliver of hope. Tomori must be regretting not throwing his lot in with Canada now.
Sancho, Toney & Abrahams are all probably a wee bit aggrieved too, given Wilson hadn't featured since god was a lad, half decent start to the season notwithstanding.
Phillips and Walker are both broken currently too? 'Cos taking injured players to tournaments always works...

Toney must have been amazingly unimpressive when he was in the squad. Two friendlies (or was it is NL? Same thing anyway) and didn't play a single second. Now left out for Wilson.

I have no major concerns with that squad. It is a bit thin, but that's mostly down to injuries I guess. Maguire aside it's probably close to the best available. Not sure how Coady gets in ahead of Tomori either actually, but oh well.
Edit: would have easily taken Toney over Wilson as well. Not really sure what Wilson offers that the other forwards picked don't, and Toney is probably worth including for his penalties alone given England's record with such things.
Lack of cover for Shaw at LB is pretty dodgy as well.

It is England tradition notwithstanding the end of metatarsal worship by the press.

I'll definitely be cheering for the Taffs in that group.
