Harry Maguire omitted from England World Cup squad
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was left out of Thomas Tuchel's 26-man England squad for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Maguire said he was "gutted" after being omitted from the final traveling party. Tuchel also left Phil Foden and Cole Palmer off the roster as he finalised his selections. Maguire's absence narrows England's experienced options at centre back and alters the squad's defensive depth ahead of the tournament.

vinner07.bsky.social5Jordan Henderson is exciting enough but selecting James Trafford a keeper who has played in 3 games and allowed 4 goals is a masterful! And Toney before Welbeck???
SJ is Not South Jersey4Ironic that all city selections are in the back and most Arsenal selections are in attack
Francis-18783I assume they're taking Dan Burn in case any lightbulbs need changing.
Andy2Hendo and Dan Burn are terrible selections
Ed Moynihan2A lot of hype around the England team as always, but that defence and goalkeeper selection doesn't particularly stand out as being too strong.
I only follow football when it’s my Country, England playing. It’s good to see this World Cup team reflects my multiracial Country. Hope the racists will be giving it a miss this year.
PissTake Peg 😏7I haven’t watched international football since they stopped the Home Internationals, besides, I hate football which is why I support #Pompey 👀
John Johnston3I’d like Scotland to boycott the comp.
4tlos.bsky.social2Baffles me how any sport lover can be racist and our England teams seem to really show our diversity whether it be rugby, football or cricket.
Barry Jones2Likewise, and tbh I prefer the women's game to the men's.
I won't be watching the World Cup and have zero interest in England, but that squad is bang average. Barring Kane, there's not a single world-class player there IMO. #lfc
🅼🅰🆁🆃🅸🅽 ✪3The good news is they haven't picked our players so less chance of injuries there, I used to watch up until about Italia 90, then I was old enough to see how much we were hated, fuck em.
Paul2Yep not wasting my evenings watching thar shite. Just hope Robbo has a good tournament
Kathy Hopper2Nothing exciting about this squad. I'm happy thst Scotland will be there. Just wish it was being held somewhere more deserving
Dave McLean2Same with me, no interest in it, I've watched every one since 1978, having it in Qatar was a farce, but it's just got worse, FIFA are even more corrupt than ever.
