It looks like it. It's a tough call. Son and Lucas have been playing well and there's no telling how fit kane really is, but he's also such a great leader and can be a real game changer.
Personally, I'd have him on the bench, but ultimately I trust pochettino.
They have an ego way out of proportion to their actual skill level. The way they celebrated against a bunch of amateurs with day jobs (Thailand) was pretty off putting. They still kick and run a lot, and the rest of the world (especially the Euro ladies) seem to be catching up with a smarter playing style, so we'll see how things look in the future.
And I actually agree with their politics, but Rapinoe for example kneeling during the anthem before an NWSL match in front of 100 fans to protest really highlights how out of touch with reality some of them are.

My problem is with the coaching staff. For them to celebrate the 11th or 13th goal against Thailand was in extremely bad taste. Phil Neville's comments about his team reflecting his values after the Cameroon game really made me reconsider that Thailand/USA game. Jill Ellis didn't look graceful in that match.
I have no problem with their politics and how they conduct themselves there.
There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for Still breathing, it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate
