So, England 'cruised' through qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Big deal. Cruising past minnows doesn't mean jack when you face a real team with some teeth. But hold on, before we get to the inevitable penalty shootout heartbreak, let's talk about the squad. Cue the outrage.

The usual suspects are clutching their pearls, wondering if Gareth Southgate is auditioning for a diversity panel instead of picking the best blokes for the job. Meritocracy? Heard of it? Seems like the only criteria these days are checking boxes and virtue signaling.

Remember when the Three Lions stood for something other than kneeling? Now it's all about 'raising awareness' while forgetting how to actually, you know, win. It's like these guys think they're going to change the world by kicking a ball around. Newsflash: nobody cares about your woke agenda, just score some goals.

Meanwhile, the 'experts' are bleating about 'tactical flexibility' and 'squad balance.' Translation: we have no idea why these guys were picked. And let's not forget the usual hand-wringing about 'form against top teams.' Yeah, good luck with that. They probably spend more time practicing their Instagram poses than practicing their free kicks.

The last time England actually won anything, it was before color TV. Now, they're more concerned with taking a knee than taking home the trophy. But hey, at least they'll look good doing it. Maybe they'll get participation trophies. That'll show 'em.

And the fans? Well, some of 'em are worried. The smart ones, anyway. The rest are probably too busy chanting 'It's coming home!' to notice that 'home' is just a comfy spot on the couch, watching someone else lift the trophy.

Honestly, the whole thing is a clown show. But hey, at least it's entertaining. Pass the beer and the blood pressure medication. We're gonna need it.

It's all cope and seethe, folks. Get ready for another round of excuses, blaming the ref, and crying about injuries. Standard procedure for the woke lions.

The biggest question is will we win or will the woke win? Does it even matter at this point?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess which one will prevail: the woke. Buckle up, buttercups. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
