Mass outrage on Twitter after Phil Jones and Chris Smalling make the England World Cup squad

England’s World Cup squad was announced today and although the squad was pretty much as expected with the only surprise being Luke Shaw being picked ahead of Ashley Cole. However, some fans were not happy with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling making the team. Here’s how Twitter reacted.

Smalling and jones are lucky our defence is garbage! Terrible duo cannot play if we want a chance!

Our defence is awful, Smalling and Jones are so average but I guess that’s what we are now.

Apart from smalling and jones, I’m happy with the squad…excited to see what Sterling, Barkley, Lalana and Sturidge will offer!!

How can Roy think that Smalling and Jones are better right-backs than Clyne?

Flanno and Stones should be in over Smalling and Jones but overall decent little squad that!
