    Mark Chapman is joined by ESPN's Julien Laurens, Conor Coady and Chris Sutton on this week's Monday Night Club. The team ask what the point is in pre-tournament friendlies; are they a waste of time, or are they valuable preparation for the World Cup? Senior Reporter Ian Dennis joins to discuss what Thomas Tuchel will have learned from England's 1-0 win over New Zealand, what role Jude Bellingham could play and whether Morgan Rogers could start ahead of him? Will there be such a thing as a '10' for England, and will it be Marcus Rashford or Anthony Gordon on the left? Scotland reporter Jane Lewis joins the pod as we hear from John McGinn, speaking less than a week out from Scotland's opener against Haiti. The team discuss Scotland's positive preparations in their warm-up friendlies, as well as what their approach should be in the opening game.
