England special: Maguire boos, the best and worst-case World Cup draws and our 23-man squad selections for Qatar

It’s an England special of the Essential Football Podcast after the Three Lions’ wins over Switzerland and Ivory Coast during the international break. Charlotte Marsh is joined by senior football journalist Pete Smith and football writer Ben Grounds to have a look back – and forwards – on England’s 2022.

Part 1 | What did we learn from the two friendlies? How much can we read into Gareth Southgate’s squad selection, and who did the guys pick in their 23 for Qatar?

Part 2 | What was the thinking behind the Maguire boos and did Southgate nail his response? Who could England face in Qatar, and who would be the best and worst-case scenario? Finally, how is England’s 2022 shaping up?

Mark your cards for our preview show before the weekend’s action, and our Monday review show summing up all the talking points, featuring verdicts from Sky Sports’ pundits, writers, and Sky Sports News reporters.
