Howard Canitbé Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Not by me, I might add. A video I came across on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t5WDiVCpyfc For those who can't be arsed to watch the whole thing, the team is this: Butland (Stoke) Sam Byram (Leeds) Reece Oxford (West Ham) John Stones (Everton) Luke Shaw (Man U) Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea) Ross Barkley (Everton) Dan Crowley (Arsenal) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool) Harry Kane (Spurs) James Wilson (Man U) They neglected to mention a subs bench. So no Will Hughes, no Jordan Ibe, no Tom Ince, no Patrick Bamford, no George Thorne. I'm sure there are other young players out there I'm unaware of that other teams would be shocked didn't make the cut. Thoughts?
Kernow Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I don't see why people bother predicting teams. A player could turn into the next Messi and play at the 2022 WC for England at 18. He'd be 11 now, so he wouldn't be predicted. Reminds me of a newspaper article from around 2006 predicting 2014 WC squad and pretty much every prediction had flopped horrendously.
Shuff264 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 The 2014 team predicted in 2007, dont bother trying
AmericanRam Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Things like this are way too subjective,especially in regards to who might be rated by one person but not even on radar on another. As Kernow said this far into future anything can happen.Might be a young great striker right now in US who will be say 21-22 when this happens but no one really knows about him. No guaranteed players I can think of with USMNT for WC 2022. The USMNT team for 2014 missing some from what was predicted.Very hard to predict that into future.Players could lose it,other players could pop up out of nowhere,etc.
Howard Canitbé Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Michael Johnson, subject of "whatever happened to him?" newspaper articles since 2013. Obviously predicting England squads this far into the future is a pretty high order, but just thought it was interesting that our own players who are playing very well, and have been consistent at a relatively high level for some time, are overlooked in favour of players I've never heard of in the PL's U18s.
Tombo Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 So nobody from any unfashionable clubs? One Championship player, and he's at Leeds cos they're a sleeping giant obviously... Clearly better than Nathaniel Clyne or Andre Wisdom....
Tombo Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Also, not even being funny but why does nobody ever talk about Britt Assombalonga?
AmericanRam Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Also watching some other videos by that Youtube account...meh.
Howard Canitbé Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Also, not even being funny but why does nobody ever talk about Britt Assombalonga? Agreed, he's gone under the radar. Huge shame about his latest injury. It's mainly because the media focus on PL clubs, and top 10 clubs at that. Also watching some other videos by that Youtube account...meh. Didn't bother watching any others.

Clearly better than Nathaniel Clyne or Andre Wisdom.... I must admit only players I recognize are Stones,Shaw,Kane,Byram,Butland,Sterling,and Barkley. Never heard of the others.
Guest Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Right, I'm going to go:- David Seaman Gary Neville Rio Ferdinand John Terry Ashley Cole David Beckham Paul Scholes Frank Lampard Steven Gerrard Wayne Rooney Michael Owen These guys really are the golden generation and I think they should be given one more chance for glory before trying to plan for the future and bring some youngsters through
Dimmu Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'd be amazed if Ward-Prowse ain't in the team. Best English prospect for a while (behind Hughes of course..)
eddie Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 It's interesting to note that Roy Hodgson is already being asked by certain areas of the press as to whether Jordon Ibe is ready for a call-up (yes, that's all it takes folks - 2 games for the hubcap-stealers). Hodgson said that "
