All nations rotate their squads through friendly games. So I guess they all cheapen the jersey. I think Mexico have even had 2 different squads on two different continents playing concurrently.
Everyone in the squad, bar Surman has already played for the AWs. And there has been alot worst players than the guys in this current 23, who have in the past got an AWs cap! Now 3 years out from the WC, is the time to experiment & find out who's in the running for 2026.

So starting 11 please!
Remembering also that we won’t have confed cup and can’t guarantee a run of games before the world cup.
The best way to get a cohesive (and statistically more successful) team is to maximize the playing time our first team combinations will get together.
I mean sure any one in the squad is can expect some game time, but you’re not suggesting a ‘B’ team in a potentially winnable game? Who would you start?
Would you rest any of Garbett, Boxall, Bell, Stamenic or Libby for example? McCowatt stays?
