If Germany have room for a wildcard, I'd pick Brayan Gruda. He could be a really interesting support for Wirtz and Musiala in those No.10 roles.

Next month, as revealed by The Athletic, Premier League clubs will vote on a proposal to get rid of VAR.

But should they do it?

Steve Madeley brings forward the case for getting rid of VAR, while Amitai Winehouse argues against removing the system.

Do it. Bin.
