Pretty sure Fash played for England didn't he? (obviously not at USA 94, I mean in general)

 

Yeah he did.

 

He said that Gabby shouldn't play for England, when Nigeria were after him, because he would only get a few caps like he did.

I think Voiny meant at the time of the world cup who did Villa have playing.

 

And I think he's right in that it was just the 4 Irish lads.

 

Starting XI at that time would have been (from memory)

 

Bosnich

 

Barret

Teale

McGrath

Staunton

 

Richardson

Townsend

Houghton

Daley

 

Atkinson

Saunders

 

With other notables being Spink, Cox, Fenton, Parker, Ehiogu, Whittingham

So can't think of anyone in that list who would have been at the World Cup

Yeah I meant at the time, so no to Luc Nilis and Hadji. I can't think of any other Premiership team who would of had more then 4.  This time around it will only be 3 , which is pretty low considering England have qualified this time.

A bit before Whittingham isn't it.

Idea stolen from elsewhere on the internet, but how about making a "rest of the world" team made up of players from countries which didn't qualify for the World Cup.

Zlatan, Bale, Eriksen, Konoplyanka, Ramsay, Mohammad Salah, Demba Ba, Keita, Diame, Alaba, Cech   .Someone try and make a team/formation out of that lot. Hey they could win it.

 

Have I missed anyone decent?

It's a novel idea but I wouldn't be in favour of a team like that actually playing at a world cup.

 

Not counting what would happen if they won it (the world cup would be held by nobody?). But surely this would make people like, say, Bale, not even try for Wales.

 

Why would he want to scrape into a world cup with Wales to lose all 3 group games (theoretically) when he can just play for the rest of the world team instead and have a decent chance?
