Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. In this special episode we are talking all things World Cup. Will Scotland finally get out of the group and what do our English fans make of Thomas Tuchel’s squad selection? Shay Given and Jamie Carragher are also joined by Jonathan Wilson, reliving some of his favourite World Cup moments, including Maradona’s 2 goals in 5 minutes in 1986! We start the show by discussing the price of tickets for fans, and how many fans are being outpriced for the tournament ahead. We then move on to Scotland. Their first World Cup since 1998, brothers from the band Skerryvore, Daniel and Martin Gillespie are hopeful on getting out of the group labelling Scott McTominay and John McGinn vital players. The episode then turns to the Three Lions. The debate is initially on Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad with big names being left out such as Adam Wharton and Trent Alexander- Arnold. We also discuss how England will set up, their chances of winning and will Tuchel favour Jude Bellingham for England’s first game against Croatia?
