Listen up, you muppets! Jack Grealish ain't going to the World Cup, and that's a fact! The lad's been taking liberties, thinking he's got a chance, but he's got no hope in hell!
Rooney's brutal honesty
Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United legend, has spoken the truth about Grealish. He's said that the Everton winger may as well book his holiday for the summer because he's not getting in the squad. And you know what? He's absolutely right!
Grealish's form
Sure, Grealish has recovered some of his previous form on loan from Manchester City this season, but that don't mean jack! He hasn't played for his country for over a year, and Thomas Tuchel hasn't selected him at all during his tenure as boss. It's clear that Grealish is not in Tuchel's plans!
The competition
Grealish is up against some serious competition for a spot in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers are all ahead of him in the pecking order. And let's be real, they're all better players than Grealish!
Rooney's advice
Rooney has been brutal with his advice to Grealish, but it's what he needs to hear. He's not playing European football, he's not competing at the top end of the table, and he's not performing above and beyond to prove to Tuchel that he's worthy of a place in the squad. It's a shame, but it's the truth!
The striker conundrum
Rooney has also questioned Tuchel's decision not to test out some back-up strikers to Harry Kane. He's suggested that this international break was the perfect opportunity to give Kane a week's holiday and look at other options, such as Ollie Watkins and Danny Welbeck. And you know what? He's got a point!
So there you have it, folks. Grealish ain't going to the World Cup, and Rooney has spoken the truth about it. It's a harsh reality, but it's one that Grealish needs to face up to. The beautiful game is a tough one, and only the best of the best make the cut!
