England's 2022 World Cup Squad: Where Were They 7 Years Ago?

[@parker-ii7fg]

Crazy to think that, when Qatar was awarded the World Cup, four of the current England squad- Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Connor Gallagher, were all at primary school. Now, 12 years later, they are all young men and part of a new golden generation playing in the same competition potentially bringing football home.

Harry Maguire gangsta paradise

[@kushxclinton]

I kinda agree with JGZ. maguire is a decent CB who is more than capable of consistently having a great game against minnows. the prem has began to exploit his weaknesses and I don’t think he’ll gain much adjustment from the WC other than a potential confidence boost, which could be all he needs after all.

[@plaisukhum7934]

I hope this current form can give United a few extra million when we do sell him. He's not gonna be any better. Woeful in possession, terrible in a high line, error prone, slow off and on the ball destroying the tempo. Yeah, it's not gonna get better for him, better sell him off when he does have SOME value

[@tommywile4238]

It's mind boggling how quickly England went from perennial comic underachiever to likable lads. Is there any manager out there who could take England from very good team to great world power? Otherwise, sacking Southgate would risk falling back to medioccre.

[@1998Cebola]

Southgate is the biggest reason for that transition. When Southgate leaves the only reasonable choice is to pick someone that is already in the coaching staff to maintain the culture.
