How England's Euro First XI Looks According To Shirt Sales by shinx91: 12:15am On May 21, 2016 |
As an Englishman abroad if you aren't
wearing a football shirt to the beach,
socks with sandals when you go out in
the evening and shouting slowly and
loudly at any and every foreigner you
come across then you're doing
something wrong. So when the
England squad land in France this
summer whose names should we all
have on our shirts?
That stereotype might be slightly wide of
the mark however whenever I reveal to
European's that I don't drink they get very
confused about someone from England
who doesn't have beer in their hands so
it's the rest of you lot who have given us
this reputation and led to the weird looks I
get, or at least that's what I'm blaming the
weird looks on rather than my face.
Anyhow on Monday, that's just been
changed, Roy Hodgson has decided to
name his squad for the Euros this
summer and we'll all gasp in horror when
Jack Wilshere gets the nod after two
appearances in about a year and title
winning central midfielder Danny
Drinkwater is left out.
So rather than choosing on his favourites
and maybe the odd bit of form how would
the England team look if Roy chose it
based on those players we've gone out
and got printed on the back of the replica
shirts will no doubt never wear when
playing football?
If I'm being hypercritical of a clearly very
good way of picking the starting lineup for
England's opening game of the Euros
against Russia it's that it looks a bit
attacking for my liking. Never mind the
fact that a lot of these names seem to be
based on the old system of paying per
letter on the back of the shirt, I just
thought it was a set price for each name
these days but the lack of Alex Oxlade-
Chamberlain suggests not.
It seems that form this season is having a
big say on who is buying what shirts for
2016 with Danny Drinkwater outselling
Theo Walcott right now although with
Hodgson's love of Wilshere and Welbeck
potentially out injured it seems more
likely that the Arsenal man will be
heading to France than the Leicester
midfielder.
However it seems some people don't
understand getting a players name on the
back of their shirt with Marcus Rashford
and Mark Noble in the top 20.
