I thought that Dunk and Lascelles were the best two English centre backs over course of last season. So it was obviously strange that not only were neither at the World Cup, but also not called up or got as much as a minute in a friendly throughout the campaign.
Congrats to Dunky, he's had to wait maybe longer than he should have for that given some of the others selected ahead of him so it will be all the sweeter.
I do think that Southgate suffers slightly from an idea (shared by others in football, but not me) that if you haven't played for England...
