Many were surprised to see Gomez not included into the England squad

The Three Lions are not short of young talent. The likes of Luke Shaw and Joe Gomez were not even in the World Cup 2018 squad. Though making multiple changes to a team which has performed so near flawlessly in Russia might be unnecessary, as it may disrupt the momentum as well as the culture Southgate has instilled in the squad.

But there is reason for encouragement as both Luke Shaw and Joe Gomez are in the English squad for the upcoming games. There are other players like Ryan Sessegnon, Phil Foden, and others who have shown their quality playing for their respective clubs, and will be challenging for a place in the future England squad.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
