Poll only allows 50 options so I've had to exclude a few outside shots.
If you were to pick England's 26 man squad for the upcoming European Championships tournament, who'd you pick?
Poll runs for 10 days after which point the real squad is announced and we can compare / see whether Southgate lurks on GRcade...

Hendo
Ward-Prowse

And writing it down like that makes me realise I haven't taken enough in defence.

Waluigi showed some excellent skill in 2007, so I'll pick him.

England are spoilt for choice in a lot of positions.
They really should be looking at semi final minimum. Can't help but feel they need someone better than Southgate though.

I know it’s normal to judge a team on how far they got, but it needs context. For all the jubilation of the 2018 semi final run, they still got knocked out by a team they should have beaten. On the other hand, they got slaughtered for going out early in previous tournaments, but in most of them were beaten by a stronger team. Italy and Uruguay in 2014, Italy 2012, Germany 2010 etc.

If we had to pick 23 players we'd have a (general) consensus at this point:
Pickford
Pope
D. Henderson
Chilwell
Shaw
Saka
Trent AA
James
Walker
Maguire
Stones
Rice
Bellingham
J. Henderson
JWP
Foden
Mount
Grealish
Sancho
Sterling
Rashford
Kane
DCL
Not a bad squad by any stretch.
We've got to pick 26, though
We could probably do with another centre-back or two...

Left Dier and Trippier out, put Trent and Coady in instead, the rest are the usual.

This.
You can't win a tournament through set pieces...

Playing 4-2-3-1 with attacking full backs. I'm opening to changing my 3rd & 4th choice CBs (Keane & Mings) and 2nd choice RB (AWB), and the manager. Choices not presented in any particular order otherwise.
Edit: Also open to dropping one of the 8 into 3 for another CM.

22 correct. Didn't realise Pope was injured when I chose him and knew Ings was a risky bet. Slightly surprised neither JWP nor JL didn't get the nod for some creativity and dead ball expertise. But happy with the 22 / 26 overall.
We won't even get to the semis. No hopes being held onto here. Been there too many times since 82

Would it be considered unfair if we clone Gazza and auto age him to his prime and play 11 Gazza's?
I'm unsure how good he'd be in goal but what the hell.

There are lots of players where a team full of them would be formidable, but Gazza is not one of them.
