England! In a World Cup final! Why, that hasn’t happened since... 1966! Of course, this isn’t Harry Kane, Dele Alli, and company, this is Kyle Walker-Peters, Josh Onomah, and Dominic Solanke, but hey, it’s a World Cup final, why quibble?
England has been marvelous in this tournament, going undefeated with only one draw, against Guinea in the group stages. The good news for Tottenham Hotspur fans is that Josh Onomah is back after serving a bullsh!t one match penalty after being ridiculously sent off after picking up his second yellow for dribbling past a Mexico defender in the quarterfinals. Joshy has been a fixture in the England midfield for almost the whole of the tournament, and it’s quite likely he’ll be back in the pivot beside Lewis Cook.
Meanwhile, KWP has been playing the entire tournament out of position as a left fullback but he’s had a heck of a tournament thus far. Is it enough to earn him a backup position in Tottenham Hotspur’s first team next season? We’ll see.
It’s England! It’s the World Cup finals! It’s U20 national team action! Let’s go!
