Makes the Italian team look like a serie b team with no marchisio or verratti

Bartra is such a mediocre CB

Only 30, actually. It does seem like he has been around forever though.

They also need to play De Gea in goal.

Not really.

Spain when you have less wingers than Italy and as many good strikers as Germany.

 

[zizinho]

Not really.

For some reason I thought he started playing in 2003

At 14?

Can't blame you for thinking Arsenal fields babies I guess.

I think it's because I heard some comentator mention it and it stuck in my mind. Had no idea who walcott even is before I saw him at the WC in 2006 with England

He was a shock call up as he had no EPL experience and had only played a handful of games for Southampton.

I remember wondering if this guy is the next big thing for being called for a WC at 17. He turned out quite mediocre

England always go by short term individual form when picking their team that's why they always disappoint. Other nations build their teams for four years and are not afraid to leave individuals out if they don't fit the teams tactics.

In the last World Cup only two years ago the team was full of Liverpool players because they had done well. Southampton and Everton players were also involved as they had good seasons as well. This year Leicester and Tottenham players dominate the selections for obvious reasons.

Well, maybe choking is a harsh word, but I do think their squad had the potential to win the tournament (even if they weren't favorites). This was Rooney at his best, and Lampard and Gerrard at their peak. Sure, they lacked players in certain positions (goalkeeper, among others), but overall I think they had a strong team. At least on paper.

This is the lineup in 2006:

Damn, that's a pretty fucking loaded team.

Pogba is going to win this a la Zidane
