Congrats Lewis, long time coming. But they say you keep the best till last.

No doubt this has already been asked, sorry, but what's the likelihood he'll get some game time?

I guess that depends whether Southgate buys into the 'Nations League' as being a competitive competition, or not. If he does, possibly not.

If he sees it as a series of slightly more organised friendlies, then Dunk will get at least one 45 minute run out. Hopefully against Croatia on Friday, so his debut is not against Spain :eek:

I reckon maybe last 10-15 in one of the two games, if it looks like the result is already settled either way (3-0 or 0-3 etc).

My first cycle ride into town as an 11 year old was when the Argus were doing a sticker poster for the world cup finals in 1982 and I wanted to go and get it as soon as it was available so I could stick Steve Foster in. Took a lot of persuading of my mother to let me go, but my trusty Grifter did the job and got me Fozzie in an England shirt.

I'd say the best he can hope for is a ten minute run out towards the end just to get the cap under his belt and future proof him having an Irish granny or something.

England's social media presence is superb nowadays, someone must've been brought in to bring them into the 21st century just before the World Cup, genuinely think it's helping young football fans connect with the England team anew.

Amazing how these footballers have Gucci , LV bags etc. Yet carry their boots in their club branded plastic bags :ffsparr:

Bongy's back with Cameroon - this is new isn't it? I thought he had stopped playing for them after a falling out of some sort.

Back for the first time, during the last window, after they appointed Clarence Seedorf as the new manager.

Well done Lewis , it's a massive accolade for any player to be called up into their national team , be it England Brazil or Lichtenstein , i feel proud myself , so god knows how he and his family must be feeling , brilliant stuff .

I just hope he can make an impression and capitalise to leap frog Tarkowski and this is not a one off. With Southgates plans on the age of players realistically Dunk doesn't have much more than 4 years left him in at England level
