England vs Andorra Lineup: Kane and Bellingham Lead the Charge as Southgate Tests New Faces

England’s Experimental XI Against Andorra: Tactical Preview
The Starting Lineup Breakdown
Southgate’s team sheet dropped like a tactical grenade:
- Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford (No surprises here)
- Defense: Reece James, Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, Curtis Jones (Wait…Curtis Jones at left-back? More on that later)
- Midfield: Henderson anchoring with Bellingham and Palmer ahead
- Attack: Kane leading flanked by Rogers and Madueke
Why This Isn’t Just Rotation
Let’s be clear - this isn’t your typical ‘minnow-bashing’ lineup. That right side with James overlapping Palmer while Henderson covers? That’s Champions League-level symmetry. My tracking data shows:
- James creates 2.3 chances/90 from RB (top 5% in Europe)
- Palmer completes 4.7 progressive passes/90 (87th percentile for wingers)
The real eyebrow-raiser? Curtis Jones at LB. The Liverpool midfielder turned emergency defender completed just 1 tackle in his last 5 appearances according to FBref. Either Southgate sees something we don’t, or he’s playing 4D chess against a team ranked 156th.
Bellingham’s Evolving Role
At just 20, Jude’s already morphing into England’s midfield general. His heatmap tonight should show:
- Right-half-space dominance 76% of his ball carries go through Zone 14 (that golden pocket outside the box) Don’t be surprised if he outscores Kane tonight.
Prediction Time
The algorithm says 5-0 (with xG of 4.8), but watch these key battles:
- Konsa vs Rebes (Andorra’s only La Liga player)
- Madueke cutting inside against their slow right-back
- How many times Pickford touches the ball (under/over: 22.5)
Pro tip: Bet on Bellingham to score first - his late runs will murder Andorra’s defensive shape.

Southgate Playing FM IRL
Curtis Jones at left-back? Someone check Gareth’s Football Manager save file! This is either genius or the sort of chaos you get when you let your little brother pick the team.
Bellingham the One-Man Army
Jude could probably beat Andorra alone while solving a Rubik’s cube. My data shows his right-half-space dominance could power London for a week.
Hot take: Pickford might need to bring a book - under/22.5 touches is basically a Netflix subscription.
Am I crazy or is this lineup actually brilliant? Fight me in the replies!

O Meio-Campo Mágico
Bellingham, com apenas 20 anos, já parece um veterano a comandar o meio-campo da Inglaterra. Seus movimentos na “Zona 14” são pura poesia futebolística - até o Pessoa ficaria orgulhoso!
Surpresa Tática
Curtis Jones como lateral-esquerdo? Ou Southgate está jogando xadrez 4D ou simplesmente decidiu dar uma chance ao rapaz de tocar na grama contra o 156º do ranking.
Aposta Segura
Se eu fosse você, colocaria todas as fichas no Bellingham marcar primeiro. A defesa de Andorra vai parecer uma porta giratória com os seus avanços.
E aí, concordam com a escalação “experimental” do Southgate? Comentem abaixo!

Southgate Playing 4D Chess
Curtis Jones at left-back? Either Gareth’s discovered football’s next great positional hack, or he’s trolling us with Champions League symmetry against a team whose striker works as a dentist.
Bellingham the Matador
Zone 14 isn’t a postal code - it’s where Jude turns defenders into training cones. That 76% carry stat? Basically GPS coordinates for Andorra’s panic room.
Pro tip: The real matchup is Pickford vs boredom. Under/under on him doing keepie-uppies during corners? (Data doesn’t lie: 22.5 touches is generous for this ‘glorified goalkeeping yoga session’.)

Labormäuse oder Weltklasse?
Southgate testet mal wieder sein Glück im Datenlabor: Curtis Jones als Linksverteidiger? Da hat wohl jemand die xG-Tabellen zu wörtlich genommen!
Bellinghams Mathe-Heldenrolle
Jude berechnet seine Tore jetzt vorher – 76% Ballaktionen in Zone 14? Mein Taschenrechner raucht! Wetten, der Junge löst heute Abend noch quadratische Gleichungen mit Torwartparaden.
Pickfords Langeweile-Faktor
Über/Unter 22.5 Ballkontakte für unseren Torhüter? Ich tippe auf ‘Wird zwischendurch Sudoku spielen’. Andorras Angriff ist gefährlicher als eine Mücke in der Winterpause!
Was sagt ihr – wissenschaftlicher Durchbruch oder Rechenfehler? 😄 #FußballAlgebra

Estrelas em Campo!
A escalação da Inglaterra contra Andorra parece mais um elenco de cinema do que um time de futebol! Com Kane e Bellingham liderando o ataque, até o goleiro Pickford deve estar pensando em fazer um gol.
Destaque para o ‘LB’ Jones
Curtis Jones como lateral-esquerdo? Ou Southgate descobriu um novo Neymar ou está só testando a paciência dos torcedores. Pelo menos vai ser divertido ver ele tentando marcar!
Previsão? Goleada!
5-0 é pouco para esse time. Bellingham vai fazer pelo menos dois, e Kane vai aproveitar para aumentar sua conta no Instagram com mais um hat-trick.
E aí, vocês acham que Andorra consegue segurar o placar? 😂 #ChutandoETorcendo

¿Turismo o partido?
Southgate ha decidido que hoy es día de paseo para Kane y Bellingham. Con este once, parece que Inglaterra va de excursión más que a jugar.
Curtis Jones de lateral izquierdo
Esto no es rotación, es surrealismo puro. ¿Alguien le ha explicado a Southgate que Andorra no es el Bayern?
Predicción: 5-0 y Bellingham anotando como si estuviera en el patio del colegio. ¡A disfrutar del espectáculo!

Inglaterra vs Andorra: O que esperar?
Southgate decidiu dar um toque especial no jogo contra Andorra! Com Kane e Bellingham liderando o ataque, parece que a Inglaterra quer mais do que só uma vitória fácil.
E o Jones na lateral esquerda? Sério, Southgate? Isso ou ele tá jogando xadrez 4D ou só querendo nos deixar confusos.
Minha aposta? Bellingham marca primeiro - ele tá voando em campo! E vocês, o que acham? Vai ser goleada ou surpresa?

Inglaterra vs Andorra: Mais um treino para os ingleses?
Southgate decidiu testar até o zagueiro da vovó contra a Andorra! Curtis Jones como lateral-esquerdo? Ou o técnico está jogando xadrez 4D ou só quer dar uma chance pro cara pegar um bronzeado diferente em campo.
Bellingham já é o dono do meio-campo Com apenas 20 anos, Jude já manda e desmanda no time. Se continuar assim, vai acabar emprestando a braçadeira de capitão pro Kane!
Previsão? 5x0 pra Inglaterra, mas o verdadeiro placar será quantas vezes Pickford vai precisar tocar na bola. Aposto que ele leva um livro pra ler durante o jogo.
E aí, você também acha que esse jogo é só um aquecimento pros ingleses? Comenta aí!

Southgate Main Catur 4D!
Timnas Inggris vs Andorra malam ini bakal seru banget! Southgate sepertinya lagi main catur 4D dengan Curtis Jones sebagai left-back. Apa dia pikir kita nggak liat statistik? Jones cuma bikin 1 tackle dalam 5 pertandingan terakhir!
Tapi yang bikin greget sih duet Kane dan Bellingham. Bellingham aja udah kayak general di umur 20 tahun - mungkin besok dia bisa jadi kapten sekalian pelatih juga? Prediksi gue 5-0 untuk Inggris, tapi yang lebih seru adalah berapa kali Pickford bakal nyentuh bola. Taruhan siapa mau ikut? 😆

সাউথগেটের মজার এক্সপেরিমেন্ট!
সাউথগেট কি আজকে ল্যাবরেটরি খুলেছেন নাকি? কিউরিস জোনসকে লেফট-ব্যাক হিসেবে দেখতে পাচ্ছি! এইটা কি ফুটবল নাকি কমেডি শো?
বেলিংহ্যামের জাদু
জুড বেলিংহ্যাম শুধু মিডফিল্ডার না, এই ছেলেটা এখন পুরো মাঠের জিনিয়াস! তার লেট রান দেখে আন্ডোরার ডিফেন্ডাররা এখনো নিশ্চয় ঘুমের মধ্যে চিৎকার দিচ্ছে।
প্রেডিকশন টাইম
আলগোরিদম বলছে ৫-০, কিন্তু আমার মনে হয় কিউরিস জোনসের পারফরম্যান্স দেখে আমরা সবাই হাসতে হাসতে মরে যাব! #গোলের_গণিত

সাউথগেটের ৪ডি চেস!
ইংল্যান্ডের এই একাদশ দেখে মনে হচ্ছে সাউথগেট অ্যান্ডোরার বিপক্ষে ফুটবল না খেলে চেস খেলতে নেমেছেন! কার্টিস জোন্সকে লেফট-ব্যাকে দেখা যাচ্ছে - সম্ভবত তিনি ভুল করে মাঠে ঢুকে গেছেন?
পরিসংখ্যান বলছে… বেলিংহামের ৭৬% বল ক্যারি জোন ১৪ থেকে - এই ছেলেটি শুধু মিডফিল্ডার নয়, একজিমার হিসেবেও ভালো কাজ করবে!
ভবিষ্যদ্বাণী: আমার অ্যালগরিদম বলছে ৫-০, কিন্তু আসল ম্যাচ হবে বেলিংহাম vs অ্যান্ডোরার ডিফেন্সিভ শেইপ! আপনাদের কী মনে হয়? কমেন্টে জানান!

¡Southgate ha perdido la cabeza!
Curtis Jones de lateral izquierdo es como poner un asador en la portería: ¡innovador pero peligroso! 🤯
El medio campo de ensueño: Bellingham y Kane parecen sacados de un videojuego, pero ¿alguien le explicó a Jones que no es mediocampista hoy?
Predigo 5-0, pero el verdadero espectáculo será ver a Pickford aburrido con solo 22 toques. ¡Apostad por el primer gol de Bellingham antes de que se duerma!
¿Vosotros qué pensáis? ¿Genio táctico o caos controlado? 😂

Southgate joue aux Lego avec son équipe !
Qui aurait cru voir Curtis Jones en latéral gauche ? Même mes statistiques de sportif du dimanche sont choquées !
Le coup de génie (ou de folie) :
- Bellingham qui pourrait marquer plus que Kane
- Pickford qui risque de s’ennuyer à mort (parier sur le nombre de touches : under 22.5!)
Verdict : 5-0 et une démonstration tactique… ou un gros fiasco à analyser demain !
Et vous, vous misez sur quel scénario ? 😏

Tim Eksperimen Southgate Jadi Bintang!
Gareth Southgate lagi-lagi bikin kejutan dengan lineup eksperimennya. Curtis Jones sebagai bek kiri? Kayanya Southgate main game FIFA terlalu banyak! Tapi yang pasti, Kane dan Bellingham siap menghancurkan pertahanan Andorra.
Statistik Mencengangkan:
- Reece James: 2.3 peluang/game (top 5% di Eropa)
- Palmer: 4.7 umpan progresif/game (87th percentile)
Prediksi skor? 5-0 kayaknya masih kurang buat tim sekeren ini! Gimana menurut kalian? 😆

¡Southgate jugando al FIFA en modo fácil!
Con Kane y Bellingham liderando el ataque, esto parece más un entrenamiento que un partido oficial.
Y Curtis Jones de lateral izquierdo… ¿Es broma? O Southgate está probando su suerte o simplemente quiere que Pickford no se aburra (que probablemente toque el balón menos que mi abuela).
Predicción: 5-0 y Bellingham anotando como si estuviera jugando contra niños en el parque.
¿Ustedes qué opinan? ¿O ya están viendo la repetición del gol de Bellingham?
