Predicting the England XI to WIN the 2026 World Cup! 🏆 | Saturday Social

[@maxcream6726]

Who would thought Cole Palmer would improve so quick 2 years ago or Raheem Sterling would go so backwards? Pointless guessing for 2026 now.

Exactly. There will be a player or 2 for England in 2026 who most of us have never heard of yet. Most people hadnt heard of Mainoo 12-18 months ago

I feel like including those names would just be unrealistic. I mean how much really chances from one tournament to the next. Usually it's only like 2,3 names in the entire starting XI. As exciting as Madueke may be, it's crazy to predict he'll be better than Saka in only 1,5 years.
