    England boss Gareth Southgate says he "commits a crime" every time he picks a team because of the players he has to leave out - and will make changes for Tuesday's match with Hungary.

    England need two wins from their three remaining qualifiers to reach next year's World Cup in Qatar.

    Manchester City's Phil Foden was the pick of several standout players in Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Andorra.

    "We want the squad to feel involved," said Southgate.

    Foden provided an assist during a majestic performance for a much-changed England in Andorra, a game in which Jack Grealish and Ben Chilwell netted their first international goals, while Tammy Abraham, James Ward-Prowse and Bukayo Saka were also on the scoresheet.

    "It is important they know their value and can contribute; it wasn't a friendly [against Andorra], there were qualification points at stake and I was really pleased with the quality of the performance as well as the application," Southgate added.

    "I have a headache and commit a crime every time I pick a team. We have such strong competition for places; there were lots of players who did their own confidence and reputation the world of good the other day and that is pleasing to see.

    England: Jack Grealish more confident since Manchester City move - Gareth Southgate
    "We can't be a team that has a day off. We want to keep consistency, and we've had that throughout this calendar year. Everyone has pride in putting the shirt on."

    England were beaten in the Euro 2020 final this summer and go into the Hungary game knowing victory will take them one step closer to the 2022 tournament in the Middle East.

    They round off their qualification campaign next month, facing Albania at Wembley on 12 November followed by a trip to San Marino three days later.

    'Special' to be named on Ballon d'Or shortlist - Mount
    Midfielder Mason Mount came on with 17 minutes remaining against Andorra so is in line to start against Hungary.

    The Chelsea player won the Champions League last season - featuring throughout England's European Championship campaign - and has been named on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or award.

    "It was special," he said. "I probably found out at the same time as everyone else.

    "To see that and to see the names, to be alongside those names, it's obviously a dream.

    "For all of the years that you work hard, dedicate... it shows that everything pays off and it's just the start it, it doesn't stop now."

    Mount says missing part of England's Euro 2020 run while having to self-isolate was a factor in his decision to get vaccinated against coronavirus.

    He missed the victory over the Czech Republic in England's final group game of Euro 2020 and was an unused substitute in the win over Germany after spending time with club-mate Billy Gilmour, who later tested positive for Covid following the 0-0 draw with Scotland.

    "I'm double vaccinated now," Mount said. "Going through that experience, missing the game - a top, top game - did have an effect on my decision.

    "It did make me want to get it and get it quite quickly."

    Tough job choosing the final XI these days.

    Long may it continue.

    It's about time he started IMO but he is also a great sub to come on after 70 minutes.
    Not really sure what you don't like about him, but each to their own.

    Is that really a penalty? Shaw only had eyes on the ball and the attacker was stooping down. Game has gone to **** if that’s a penalty.

    Very naive defending.


    As a poet once said (with a slight amendment):

    Oh you can’t put your foot up in Europe
    You can’t show your studs on the ‘nent
    They take a dim view of a slightly raised shoe
    So think on if you’re up against Hungary, my lad
    Think on if you’re up against Hungary.

    The way he holds the ball close to him at speed is not cheating. Defenders are dumb and invariably foul him. It's a talent. Why do you think Man City paid a record transfer fee for him and he's in the England side? Because he's a cheat?

    Or the pathetic 30 seconds of commentary on the incident but the fact that it's deemed too toxic to show us live in case we riot at home or go and enact it in Saturday.

    The nanny state.

    Did I see an Insulate Hungary flag being waved? Maybe 'hands off' instructions from Cressida D?
