❌ Jack Butland ❌ Dele Alli ✅ Kyle Walker ✅ Harry Kane talkSPORT's predicted England XI for Qatar World Cup, five years ago...
talkSPORT predicted England XI for 2022 World Cup five years ago – here’s what we got right… and horribly wrongQatar were awarded the tournament back in 2010 and it is the first to be held in the Middle East, and during the winter rather than summer.Gareth Southgate has picked his 26-man England squad and will hope to build on the 2018 semi-final run, which was followed by a final defeat in Euro 2020.
We put our necks on the line and risked ridicule by picking our XI for the Qatar World Cup by in 2017, shortly after the Under-20 squad won the World Cup. Alongside him is Marcus Rashford who has only recently played his way back into Southgate’s squad after a dip in form. A timely return for Rashford, Manchester United, England and talkSPORT’s own credibility.Advertisement
Kyle Walker would have been a shoe-in starter at Qatar before his injury and heads into the tournament lacking fitness and game time. We had him starting at right-back, while Southgate has often deployed him on the right side of a back three.Alli has played 37 times for England, but the last of those appearances came in 2019
Next are two midfielders, Lewis Cook and Nathaniel Chalobah, who have not quite kicked on in the way most of us thought.Both played in England age group sides and even made a single cap for the senior team but have also suffered with injury issues.
