To think there not really a good looking player in the squad?

And to like it?

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with any of them but they look like the lads you went to school with, not fashion models.

Can't help thinking there's a link to the better performance. More hard effort and less time in front of the mirror? More teamwork and less self absorption?

I feel sure that a nation lament the loss of Wayne Rooney and his good looks.

Romanova · 07/07/2018 17:26

Wayne Rooney? You mean Shrek? Really?

NotTakenUsername · 07/07/2018 17:28

I honestly hadn’t given there looks a second thought. They seem very skilled and for the most part, respectful. That is very nice to watch.

NotTakenUsername · 07/07/2018 17:28

their. Hmm

CityFarmer · 07/07/2018 17:28

YaBU - rashford and dele are gorgeous

diedyediedye · 07/07/2018 17:29

Eric Dier is cute.

halfwitpicker · 07/07/2018 17:29

Totally agree.

ReadingRiot · 07/07/2018 17:29

Exactly NotTaken, that's my point. We're used to attention seeking pin ups, this lot are far preferable.

Well they’re all quite young, so that might be part of it.

Loftus Cheek is a babe though Grin

LoniceraJaponica · 07/07/2018 17:31

One of the boys went to DD's school Grin
As an aside, they all look terribly young to me.

NotTakenUsername · 07/07/2018 17:34

(They are also incredibly young compared to me and I’d feel a bit like a dirty old man if I was perving on these payers!)

NotTakenUsername · 07/07/2018 17:34

Cross post!

Plentyoffishnets · 07/07/2018 17:36

I think they all have lovely faces - especially young, delle, rashford, lingaard and Sinclair.
Very honest and innocent looking. Much like the way they play. But no-one drop dead gorgeous I agree

Butternutsqoosh · 07/07/2018 17:43

Their shorts are too long these days....

RunMummyRun68 · 07/07/2018 17:46

England team has never been full of 'drop dead gorgeous' though?

Or 'fashion models'

So not too sure I get what you mean op!?

Football is football... a game

TheGreatCornholio · 07/07/2018 17:52

Luckily they're footballers and not fashion models then.

BMW6 · 07/07/2018 17:57

I think they look bloody fantastic as a team playing a sport. I don't give a flying fuck about their individual "prettiness" Hmm

TheGreatCornholio · 07/07/2018 18:04

Imagine a thread started by a man discussing the attractiveness of the women's team...

derxa · 07/07/2018 18:10

Not a footy fan then OP?

CaseStudyResearch · 07/07/2018 18:12

Loftus Cheek is a total babe.

For man candy though, it is all about Allan Russell.

To think there not really a good looking player in the squad?
MissEliza · 07/07/2018 18:14

I've always fancied Gary Cahill but unfortunately most of the team are young enough to be my sons!

greendale17 · 07/07/2018 18:14

I agree OP

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 07/07/2018 18:15

harry kane - no?

Wishfulmakeupping · 07/07/2018 18:16

Correct but anyone would look a minger next to the Swedish team and wags seriously how are they all so gorgeous 😯

happinessischocolate · 07/07/2018 18:17

They're all too young to fancy, I don't think any of them are ugly though, just a normal looking bunch of lads.

I still fancy Gary Lineker
