See that Spain hosted Iraq for a 1-1 draw last night. But Spain's starting lineup was mostly guys not even in their WC squad.

Based off Big Pete's post above Tuchel might even do similar and give the likes of non WC selections Ethan Nwaneri, Josh King, Rio Ngumoha, Jason Steele and Alex Scott a run.

After our whipping by Haiti, England's gaffer may figure the AWs warmup is of very limited value re his proper WC plans. Glorified less than serious training run around for them??
