True, but Cahill struggled defensively last season and Stones at times, reminds me of Bambi, and is very error strewn.
I would have expected Dunk to have scored with a free header and two yard tap in.

Maguire is decent.
Behind him there is;
Joe Gomez
James Tarkowski
Alfie Mawson
Jamaal Lascelles

I am quite surprised anyone would confidently say Dunk is better than Maguire but then some on here were saying that our best midfielder, Lingard, wasn’t a very good player after the Tunisia game so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised.

The England team as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts in the World Cup, so having history of playing in the under 21s or previous England games is important.
Well Dunk doesn't tuck away PL goals for us, so why would he do it at international level?
Duffy and Dunk had chances last season, but didn't put them away.

I genuinely don't understand some on here's fascination with rating players on how they play other positions.
It makes no sense.
Did against Arsenal, can’t remember many other free headers...... can you? [emoji2]

Yes, this is bias. Maguire is better.
In what way have Leicester looked "decent outside bets for relegation"? They didn't come close to relegation trouble last season, they still have a squad full of international players (including 2 with England) and a winger being courted by Real Madrid. There is more chance of them finishing in the top 6 than the bottom 3 next season IMO (although I don't think either will happen).
Couple of things, on this point, Maguire definitely. Dunk was excellent for us last season and the only time he looked a bit lost was the horrendous Chelsea match when we play the 3 at the back system employed by England. Maguire has slotted into the England team pretty seamlessly and is excelling in this tournament.
Second point, anyone suggesting Stephens over Henderson needs their head tested. Henderson has been superb so far (in particular when the going got tough against Tunisia)

I’d have liked to see Dunk given the opportunity, but Maguire has done an admirable job so absolutely no complaints from me.

If Southgate persists with three centre backs then because of injuries / players being rested it is simply a matter of time before Dunk gets the call-up.
We have a friendly with Switzerland on 11th September and there would be little point playing the likes of Stones and Maguire after they've had little rest after a WC campaign followed immediately followed by pre-season.
If Dunk gets overlooked for that match and the USA friendly in November then he might start thinking of a move in the January window. Hopefully, he'll start the season well and Southgate will do the right thing. The situation might also be made easier if Gary Cahill were to announce his international retirement after the WC.

Good post on all points.

Man of the match? That's not a slight on Dunk btw. He will play for England one day.
