England have been fortunate enough to have been given a relatively easy qualifying group for the 2022 World Cup. However, they were unable to beat Hungary on Tuesday night as they drew 1-1.
England fielded an almost full strength side, with the only notable absentee being England player of the year Kalvin Phillips, who missed this crop of games through injury.
Going forward, if anyone ever questions why England play two midfielders when they have so many attacking options, they should be made to watch this match on repeat for the remainder of their days.

One fan posted ‘Kalvin Phillips has been sorely missed’ while another posted ‘Kalvin Phillips has made himself first name on the World Cup team sheet and added an extra 10m onto his price tag without even playing tonight.’
Many fans who downplayed Phillips and his impact will have been given a footballing lesson the other night, as it was clear England were missing him.
