A combined England XI since 1990 - would anyone tonight get in?

[Phube]

I don’t think anyone would even be close?

 

Seaman

 

Neville

Ferdinand/Cambell

Terry/Adams

Pearce/Cole

 

Beckham

Scholes/Gazza

Gerrard/Lampard/Carrick

*Stll no LW!!* Le Saux at a push

 

Shearer

Owen/Rooney (2004 version)/Sherringham

 

Surely this shows how much they have over achieved?

[Donut]

A fully fit Kane would be in there, im pretty sure he must have had a knock of some kind tonight.

Im sure id find a spot for Carlton Palmer too.

And Steve Guppy.

Scholes became so retrospectively overrated.

almost everyone on that list, while quality players for their club, failed to live up to expectations and consistently play well for England. 

 

Pearce and Neville I would say being the exception.

Maguire

The 'golden generation' led by a manager with an ounce of tactical nous, basically.

Who would you drop? Shearer?

It's basically the Euro 2004 team with a different keeper.

If southgate was the coach he'd have Harry Kane, Alli and Sterling in for sure.

because he’s not fit to even be mentioned in the same breath as gerrard and lampard, but cos united fans needed someone to pretend was as good as either of them, for some reason people went along with it. 

 

henderson would get into this team if scholes is getting a shout ffs. 

[urban.spaceman]

David Nugent scored in 100% of his England games.

Depends if you are take the player as a whole for their career or their England career. Some of those midfielders never really had tournaments like the current bunch have had.

Yes! Been trying to tell people this for years.

Possibly, Kane's strike rate is better than Shearer's for England plus Kane has gone to a world cup semi final and Shearer didn't.

 

Shearer had long drought spells too in his England career.

 

What makes Shearer clearly better than Kane?
