What up everyone? It's Kelvia here here to give you some more sports updates. You know you're watching this on Yo Charlie, therefore you know what to do. Follow us on all our social media platforms on Yo Charlie Official. We know the World Cup starts in a few days. Here are 10 players that are going to miss out on this year's World Cup. First, we have Rodrigo. He plays for More Madrid and he would have been playing for Brazil, but unfortunately, he's injured and out, so he wouldn't be seen in the Brazilian squad. Definitely, this is a big miss for them, but I'm sure they have so much quality to still go far in the World Cup. Next is Ghana's Mohammed Kuduz. We know how important Kuduz is for A Ghana and with our attack and everything. But he's missing. We didn't see him much for Spurs this season. We only saw him in the first half of the season. He's injured, so he wasn't picked and won't be seen at this World World Cup. Then we have Ko Palmer. Yeah, plays for Chelsea. Trust me, a lot of Chelsea players didn't get called up. But then Palmer didn't get picked, he's not injured, just wasn't on Tuco's plans to take Palmer. And we know they're definitely going to miss his creativity in the midfield, but they do have enough quality to try and get far in the competition. So that shouldn't be a big miss. Foden as well is missing from the England squad. He's not injured as well, just not picked. He didn't have like the best of seasons with City this season. So it does make a bit of sense why he wasn't picked. But then we all know the quality that he holds, and definitely England would be missing him. But then I don't think it would affect them that much. But we'll wait and see. Hopefully, affects them. That benefits Ghana. But, anyways, for England as well, Trent is not going to the World Cup with them. Defender, we know how good Trent is when he defends. He plays for Real Madrid. Remember when he was at Liverpool and moved to Real Madrid? I know Real Madrid didn't really have like the best of seasons. So does it make sense? Trent is not going. I don't think so. I feel like he's such an important defender for the England squad. And Trent isn't injured, he just wasn't called up by Tuco. That I feel is the big miss for the England squad with Trent's quality. And you always know you need a player that Trent's in your team. But that benefits Ghana, so I'm not even gonna be upset about it. Then we have the big one that everybody was mentioning, Jal Pedro had an excellent season with Chelsea, even though they had such a shaky and terrible, I wouldn't say terrible, but they didn't have like the best of seasons. But he was one shining light in that dead squad. But he wasn't called up to Brazil, he wasn't called up for the team. People are saying they picked Nima, Nema was his replacement, and but I mean I feel like a quality like Jal Pedro might be necessary in a team like Brazil, but they have so many stars, so I don't think they would really miss him. But yeah, one player missing, one player missing as well in the England squad, Maguire, Harry Maguire. I feel like he's one of their best defenders. Not I not saying this because I'm a United fan, but I mean we know Maguire when he wears an England shirt, always gives his A game. Honestly, you you need that kind of defender on your team, just controlling, having control of the defense, leading everybody. But good for us Ghanaians, he's not gonna be there. So then we have Edward Kamavenga plays for Real Madrid, also you back to Real Madrid not having like the best of seasons this past season, but then you know he's such a big name for Real Madrid, and you would have expected him in the France team. But I feel like France have so much quality, we wouldn't even miss him, to be honest, we won't miss him that much. But he's not going to be at the World Cup this year. Then we have Xavi Simpsons who also played for Spurs. You know, they had a tricky season, got injured getting to like the latter parts of the season with Spurs, but he is also not going to be there at the World Cup with the Netherlands squad. Sad, but would they really miss him? Because honestly, I don't think they would. But hey, those are some of the big names we're going to be missing at this year's World Cup. Which players did you wish were actually going into the World Cup? And if I miss some, let me know in the comments as well. Now, back to the OG land, back to Ghana, the Black Stars, the camp, positive vibes here and there, Charlie. I just pray that these vibes to just transcend into the field. You get what I mean? During our first game against Panama, because all we have to do is win that Panama game. And then we used to kill three points. Then we know that you can go and play anything against England and Croatia because you could possibly get best third place. But you know, with these boys, anything is possible. But then the energy in the camp is giving positive, it's given it's given bonding, you know. Things we like to see. There was they just uploaded a video of them having a quiz on Ghana football. See, we like to see stuff like that, but we also want to see stuff like that and good performances. And if we can get that at the World Cup, icing on the cake. Yeah, so that's all I have for you today. The World Cup is starting soon. I'll be bringing you all the updates on all the games or some of the very big games, and most importantly, the Black Stars when they take on Panama, England, and Croatia. Leave your comments. Where do you think the Black Stars are going to go in this World Cup? How far do you think they're going to go? Are they just going to go to the group stages and come back home? Let me know.
