Rio Picks His England XI… Mainoo over Anderson and Rashford starts too

With only 90 minutes of international football before Thomas Tuchel names his England World Cup squad, Rio Ferdinand sits down with Joel Beya and Ste Howson to break down the real decisions facing England - and it’s not as straightforward as people think. From inside insight into the England camp, to the big calls Thomas Tuchel has to make, you’ll hear Rio pick his starting XI for the important knockout matches and the truth about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence from the squad. There’s analysis on whether Harry Maguire really is England’s 5th choice central defender (behind Trevor Chalobah) and why Luis Enrique’s impact on Ousmane Dembele will help France in the summer. Rio also reveals why he would not go to Tottenham if he was Roberto De Zerbi and which African sides could cause surprises at the World Cup. 00:00 Why Is Trent Alexander-Arnold NOT in the England Squad?! 🤯 00:28 Intro – England Squad, Spurs Chaos & Big Topics 01:00 Inside England Camp with Thomas Tuchel 01:15 Jude Bellingham Is DIFFERENT 🔥 03:01 Surprise Standouts: Garner & Mainoo Impress 04:05 Tuchel’s Man Management Explained 06:25 England’s 35-Man Squad Debate 06:35 Trent Situation FULL Breakdown 10:01 Harry Maguire – Starter or Squad Player? 15:29 Rio Ferdinand’s England XI 🏆 18:46 Stephen Howson’s England XI 21:25 Rashford vs Bowen vs Gordon (Left Wing Debate) 24:02 Joel’s England XI Picks 25:46 Tuchel’s BIGGEST Challenges 28:35 Why France Are Favourites 🇫🇷 29:30 Arsenal Injury “Crisis” Explained 👀 31:00 Sir Alex Ferguson & International Duty Stories 😂 33:28 Spurs Sack Another Manager?! 😬 34:53 Would De Zerbi Join Tottenham? 36:36 What’s WRONG at Spurs? 37:15 Leicester’s Crazy Decline 😳 38:01 African Teams at the World Cup 🌍 40:35 Rio on Batistuta & Dream Interviews 43:05 Outro Rio Presents brought to you by CRAFTD https://uk.craftdlondon.com/ #England #EnglandFootball #ThreeLions #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup #Tuchel #ThomasTuchel #RioFerdinand #JoelBeya #SteHowson #EnglandSquad #FootballAnalysis #SoccerTalk #FootballDebate #StartingXI #InternationalFootball #TrentAlexanderArnold #HarryMaguire #TrevorChalobah #OusmaneDembele #LuisEnrique #FranceFootball #RobertoDeZerbi #Tottenham #AfricanFootball #Underdogs #FootballPundit #SoccerNews #FootballFans #KnockoutFootball Subscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WE Rio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.com Rio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeets Rio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficial Rio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5
