What if???

[leeblue]

What if the england squad got wiped out in a tragic boating accident, pick another squad???? not an easy task.

GKs
Ruddy, Stockdale, Butland

DFs
Flannagan, shawcross, stones , Lescott, caulker, cole (out of retirement) and Terry, Gibbs.

MFs
Carrick, Lennon, cleverley, Zaha, Noble, osman, rodwell, parker

CFs
Carroll, hooper, berahino, defoe


just off the top of my head really, im sure i missed a few southampton players out.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Interesting question. Off the top of my big head:

GK: Ruddy, Stockdale, Green

D: Flanagan, Richards, Shawcross, C. Davies, Caulker, Dawson, Cole, Gibbs

M: Lennon, Carrick, Noble, Barry, Huddlestone, Shelvey, A. Johnson, Puncheon

F: Crouch, Defoe, Nugent, Hooper

Don't think that squad would get through the group stages!

Stop ******* the damn air out of the damn room man will you man!?

It's the World Cup and I demand the opportunity to get excited, over-excited and then ultimately disappointed (or not... see? How easy I bounce back?). It's my right. The odds of disappointment are heavy but, for me, you just can't beat the passion, expectancy, hope and "just ****ing imagine!!!" that football delivers if you get behind the team. Try it, you might like it!!

:happy:

Great thread BTW. Don't know where to even start...

Sound choices but I wouldn't put Hooper in the Southend squad.

Er. What?!

 

[Pubey]

I'd probably be boring and just take the U21s.

Anyone else visualising about Roy and the team taking the titanic across to Brazil and ending up lying on a wardrobe in the freezing sea. Trying to push Rooney off it so 3 players can fit in his place!

[londonblue]

Id probably go

Bentley Smith Smith

White Coker Prosser Bennett Philips

Leonard Timlin Straker Hurst Laird Atkinson Clifford

Barney

I suppose we could supplement that with 7 Prem players, but I'm not sure it is worth ruining their summer if they won't get a game.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

It's worrying how hard this becomes!

Ruddy, Butland, Green

Cole, Terry, Caulker, Stones, Flanagan, Walker, Richards

A. Johnson, Carrick, Lennon, Barry, Cleverly, Osman, Rodwell, Parker, Zaha

Carroll, Defoe, Crouch, Hooper

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Id probably go

Bentley Smith Smith

White Coker Prosser Bennett Philips

Leonard Timlin Straker Hurst Laird Atkinson Clifford

Barney

Are you mad?

Why have you left out Corr? I know he's technically Irish but he's lived over here long enough that he probably qualifies and is any rate more eligible than Straker who is already an international and Timlin and Clifford who have played u21 football for Ireland.

Victor Anichebe? The Nigerian International?

Anthony Straker? The Grenadian International? Plus Marc Laird is Scottish.

U21 doesn't count. You can still play for a different country. Of course I was working on the assumption that Corr is Irish, but if he's never played for them (which I think may be the case) then he may qualify through residency. Please accept my apologies for the oversight.

I think Laird has lived here long enough to qualify through residency, even if he can't through any other means.

Straker is there because we need an ineligible player to give the other teams a chance!

 

[C C Csiders]

Charlie Austin should be amongst the forwards.
