    Will we have any? Will Carillo count?

    Will Amrabat be there with Morocco?
    Kabasele may make it with Belgium
    Cucho is Colombian but I don't know whether he'd have a shout or not

    Carillo will be there,
    Kabasele will most likely make the Belgium squad since he's a regular in their squads recently. Amrabat will be going.
    Isaac Success is probably an outside chance for Nigeria.
    Cucho hasn't made any Colombian friendly squads so seems unlikely he'd be going (although fingers crossed as this would drastically enhance his chances of getting a work permit).

    Could be a case of both yes and no - his loan contract expires 30th June - half way through the finals series.

    Pontus Dahlberg might go with Sweden.

    As for ex-Hornets, can only think of Miguel Layun and Valon Behrami that might be there.

    As Messi will be joining us in the Summer, I'll be keeping a close eye on how he does. Bug future that kid.

    Can we get all our players dual-nationality with some of the tinpot teams so they can spend a Summer with a decent medical team?

    Good point, forgot about England players. Guess Danny Rose might go too then.

    I'd imagine the Colombianese would have better strikers than some kid kicking around in the lower Spanish leagues.

    I agree, but we took Walcott one year... At least Cucho is doing more than he had at the time!

    I reckon he did that thing where you do a clattering flat-footed jump from a height onto hard ground wearing football studs and then afterwards it really bloody hurts the bottom of your feet.

    No Dahlberg in the Sweden squad, no Cucho Hernandez in the provisional 35 man Colombia squad either.

    No Algeria. Which begs the question, Park Chu Young? Was humourous seeing those two on the pitch together at the last World Cup!

    I think we should do okay, Quarter Finals at least. It all depends on whether Gracia gets his tactics right when we have to face one of the bigger teams.

    He also has a poor record in Russia. Relegation looms...

    Chalobah in World Cup training squad. Good on Southgate for keeping him in his sights. Good chance for him to keep on with the fitness ready for next season. 1st cap imminent surely?

    Kabasele confirmed in Belgium’s preliminary 28 man squad with 5 players to be cut. Given the quality of that squad, I’d say his chances of going are slim, seeing as his last and only cap was 2 years ago. Kompany, Alderwiereld and Vertonghen will all be ahead of him too.

    Chalobah seems to be Southgate's favourite. Good chance of being the first Watford player to play for England in as long as I can remember!

    If sitting, watching and wearing the team shirt counts, then probably several people on he2te have done it more recently than Loach.
