Take any England player from any generation what would be your starting XI against the USA?

 

[antijoke]

The ones he has chosen.

Why?

Because I believe only the current generation would be fit enough to compete against them.

--------------Banks--------------
Armfield--Moore---Charlton---Cole
---------Charlton--Gerrard-------
Matthews--------------Gascoigne
--------Lineker------Rooney------


Something like that

This.

 

[Tummy]

Imagine how good the old greats would have been given the advances in the modern game, fitter, lighter balls, better boots, better playing surface

 

[goonerfan]

oh stop being pedantic you lot and just pick your best ever XI!

Fine For players I've seen properly (say 1993 onwards)....

GK Seaman (when he wasn't crap)

DR G. Neville
DL A.Cole
DC Campbell
DC Ferdinand

ML McManaman
MR Beckham
MC Ince
MC Gascoigne

FW Shearer
FW Rooney


Can't say I've given it a huge amount of thought but I checked the last few Euro and World Cup squads and I think its a fair old team to be honest!

 

[ooEy]

P Shilton

A Cole
G Neville
T Adams
R Ferdinand

J Cole
D Beckham
B Robson
P Gascoigne

W Rooney
G Lineker

Hard to say, looking at the current squad and based on my following of international football (Italia'90 onwards) I'd like to have Seaman, Adams and Shearer available, they would really improve the team.
