uh but we're speaking of the England squad in 2026 uh two years away uh but we're going to name off our first 11 in the first game yes now yeah Crea our England 2026 World Cup 11 um all good yeah there Chris do you want to go first uh oh who's going to be my first name on the team Sheet Ben White no no sorry I'm just going to no um will he be involved again now playing in goal I think I think Ben White a genuine question because obviously he fell out with the previous coaching staff but is he well they're probably still not South yeah I don't know Southgate has again who who Ben actually fell out with was he called again [ __ ] Graham or hang on Cinnamon Graham I don't know actually um what are we starting with goalkeeper that would be a good Steve Holland he fell out Steve Holland Steve Holland yeah so so will he be around there maybe Steve Holland no Ben White produce produ Steve apparently he's rumored to still to be interested in returning and making himself available but so they'll have chats I imagine could be around chat so who's your goalie Chris who is my goalie o i I mean I might actually just change my team oh oh god oh crumbs this is quite difficult isn't it crumbs you me to go first I think it probably has to stay with pford right I would say yeah he will be getting on a he's falling off a bit at the moment off that's whyley got the job because he was Everton's best player as well he just Shi three goals in three minutes against Bournemouth the you see him jumping across the goal like drag had a good game that game high scoring FPL as well annoyingly so at the moment is he well not at the moment actually but last season I never had him and he got lots of points I was going to say Sur Al is the highest scare right now Ry I think is isn't he well three clean sheets for Allison yeah I don't um so either go pif either internationally pford depend on the next two years for pford if he stays if he continues at his level he has to be number one still if he doesn't ramsdale I mean ram he going to get a lot of shot stopping experience at Southampton this season he used to that like at Bournemouth and stuff like he was that guy yeah but then you that argument for Sam Johnston and [ __ ] Dean Henderson think is better than them two it's just one of those well I think he is as well but like you can't argue like a goalkeeper has to be there just because he's saves loads of shots a really bad team are Southampton for example then he is going to get R to save but if Southampton go down I think Ram still stays in the Premier League that's isn't that third relegation if happens it's unlucky not his fault I know I'm just saying I think pford well no got SE a chess then mate I just don't think he's better than pford internationally well no but I think that's fair enough I don't like the why why internationally like it's the same he's the only one who can play the only one who's allowed like him because of his arm you can't compare genda you can't compare ramsdale internationally to pford cuz pigford's getting every game he didn't sign for Newcastle by the way what is this fcking pford for England pford for England is unreal yeah he is and also for Everton is great but but this what I'm saying there's not well let Set you keep thinking like he can't keep playing better for England than he does for but he just does he does I'm just saying other Keepers could also play well if they the I would I'm going put Ram still in I don't trust Nick here's my Dan on it right pigford's number one and he will be for the forceable future because he deserves to be but in two years time we don't know how pigford's going to be still playing right he is getting on a bit and goalkeepers do have an extended life he's like what 32 extended life they do have an extended career but I'm saying a lot of intimate and 32 he's only he's going to be 32 at the World Cup that's like Prime goal yeah okay that's fine but what I'm saying is I wouldn't mind it if Ram was in goal in two years do you see what I'm saying yeah no I know yeah I get the point I still think2 for a go question he's going to be the most safe Pair of Hands for us the options there so you're going to Pickford I will pick Ford yes nice uh SL do my team first so you have a few names in your chest because you don't know what you're talking about D not really okay I'll give my team where his brain is cobby Mayu straight in uh all right England goalkeeper reping the damage my back four B is a little bit different I should hope so CU it's two years time you don't know yet do you uh right back I got Trent okay yeah Center back of stones and gay he yeah okay here's where it gets different yeah I was going to say it's not that different is it mate though left back Rico l oh we have the same back yeah yeah I really not really to out the box there okay remember the same stay with me here guys but also if Ben White is going to be part of the squad I'd have him over Trent I think because defensively actually offers Rico loose to go yeah I agree play both Trent and Rico that could be a could yeah I agree I massively rate Trent as a footballer but I had a conversation with our good friend Cal frezy over the summer and he we were in the pub and he went it's a common misconception that Trent gets dribble past a lot and I went I don't think it is me and I I went on my phone that very moment and looks like Trent is the for 90 minutes the third most dribble pass player in the Premier League the other two are I think were brenford midfielders um so not even Defenders but every 90 minutes I think it's about four times he gets taken on um so he is very bad defensively and you do have to take that into account but little one have that Cal think defend he so much but the reason why like to counter point that the reason why he gets dribble past lot it's because he's so high up for a majority of occasions he leaves so much space to actually be dribble past like he's not you know no but he he also but he looks like a Winger you know when like you see Martine you see one of your forwards defending and you're like [ __ ] that's the same feeling you get with Trent but he offers so much that I would have him in the team I think left back though we be struggling in a couple years like leis Hall is probably going to be the clear left back you can play Tino there if you wanted to think R is remark had Ben White that's the four I'd go with but it depends if Ben White's interested in being part of it uh my Midfield three still there oo my Midfield three is Mayu rice and Palmer in the 10 oo mhm okay and then a front three of bell uh sacka on the right Gordon on the left B Bellingham in the force n really damn we don't even have a number you don't want to play with a number nine I think we can do it Madrid but Bellingham as full snifer last season was really good I don't think and with Palmer feeding the pony wait that that's not not out the question I don't Hate's only 33 will be but it I'm not I'm not got Kane I'm not good Kane oh like T no no no but I think i' keep Kane personally I would have him I would have him in the squad but I would like we're guessing in two years right we don't know what the next two what's the point in this second if Kane it continues to bag the way he has been bagging for the next two years I would potentially start him suck in but hey this is I'm talking two years time two years time yeah yeah um I haven't got no foden yeah I don't have either to be honest yeah which is kind of crazy we got foden star 11 but yeah I think just for the balance of Midfield I've gone rice KOB May and then Bellingham I think just keep the format that we had in there the AOS it work well and then front three of sacka Watkins and Palmer Palmer obviously being good enough to play Anywhere across the front three so but his I I don't hate that best position is in the hall yeah we had this argument during the EUR it doesn't work okay from what we've watched of this Lee Carley's you know England team they tend to swap positions anyway so I mean if you're going to play like Bellingham in the on the left I just think Palmer and sacka just offer so much Gordon maybe Gordon maybe but I just think Cole Palmer's ceiling is so high yeah I I also think in international tournaments where you don't have too much team play and it's less about the tactics and a bit more about individual like armor was so good when he came on having someone that can actually take someone on is quite pretty I kind of like the idea that just not going to be is better at taking people on on the wings I would so no I don't think so I think Palmer was Gordon's game it's not Palmer's game necessarily I don't know I I'd have Palmer for creativity and yeah I've got Palmer on my team in the hole in the 10 where his best position is but you also have a false n which is a bit weird yeah you got a 10 and a for n yeah they kind of like each other's TOS of it they are in the same position push Bellingham a bit further forward then so he not false of Bellingham number nine as your team is good but the Bellingham thing you're trying to forse him in like that's that is 100% like a FIFA formation we've got well you may you've got really if you think about it you really for the same play the box then you can play rice and Mayu and then Palmer and Bellingham as the box and then sacker and Gordon so when we're attacking the right Gordon moves over it's like a 442 and we have Stones andu his overlapping center backs as well come down the line I think my only uh Striker quarrel with that is if you are going to play an actual 10 you probably need a number nine in front of them not like someone who's going to fight for the same space put Watkins in I've got Watkins I think the game in I do think he's going to be what 20 29 when the tournament comes around I mean that's pretty 29 now [ __ ] hell is he I think he's 29 now 28 now he 2 so he's 30 then yeah ree's 30 now guys the World Cup ree's going to be 32 yeah that's kind of mad talking about your Theo how old are you going to be there going to be 43 I'm two years younger than him oh God I forget you're the same age as us yeah [ __ ] uh so what's your Fran um I would have the 10 because obviously Defenders you haven't mentioned either yes actually uh I would go Pickford I would also go Rico Lewis I think that's a good shout um I would go Stones depends how Maguire's done I think in the next few years but he was very good check how old Maguire actually is yeah his his his head is a formidable weapon International okay no he can't be in there it'll be go he um and then yeah I'd go Trent as well I think yeah but Ben White's in the conversation Rees James as well he might have had some new legs attached by then we've got the money I feel like we should probably come together and do that have to just base it on previous history I just don't think he's going to be fit enough to no play that tourament or probably play for Chelsea again yeah from a man who has had to recently swap sports do you think it's time for ree James to give up football never I'm coming back to football soon no you're not I swear to God I am we're changing come back are we on now you know I can kick from my right foot now you do that right take three k my right foot yeah until you have another career ending injury after my man we're changing the whole physiotherapy to go into football legit yeah the comeback is going to be crazy when is it scheduled for then March next year damn yeah you must be like the worst advert for your physio like come this podcast and like so many people have to say so many firan in under 6 hours what can you do big than you stronger than you with both feet sound like Jaden Smith yeah he's bigger than me stronger than right foot than you better head of the ball than you run five minutes I can do that too what anyway um your front six are uh front six I would go with I would go rice kobby Mayu and Bellingham as long as bellingham's not playing the like left pack position that he was playing in the Euros cuz that was really quite sad to see I I really didn't like I actually thought Bellingham and foden in the same team in the Euros was very detrimental because they were both kind of playing a free role and Bellingham was actually I I obviously Bellingham was clearly one of our best players but the role that he was playing in the Euros was horrific to watch because it was like we had all four of our Defenders with the ball behind their front line and then we put Bellingham behind there as well and we just had no one in between the lines to to get through it was so different to watch like obviously Arsenal are we in a very blessed period in which we actually play some amazing football but it was so different watching England compared to watching Arsenal because our center backs never have the ball for more than a couple of seconds in Arsenal matches these days and watching England they had the ball just passing around the center back so much of the time um that yeah you could just see the tactics were wrong but I don't think we'd have that under a new manager I do think that was a manager thing so yes I would have Bellingham um and then I I definitely have sacka I think I would have Palmer God it's tough isn't it I think I I would potentially see how Kane was looking um I think it works quite well with taking him off and putting Watkins on Kane and Watkins probably it's not too different or exciting sorry yeah so pal on the left sa on the right then I think so yeah that'll be me interesting well let us know your World Cup 2026 starting 11 in the comments down below and look forward to our third rendition of it in like four months time no two years no we we've I'm pretty sure we've done that at least five times recycled content um
