  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The team was not a complete mess, however. Phil Foden was a notable inclusion, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and John Stones also had a place. There was no room for Harry Kane, which was an interesting call considering he was at the peak of his powers five years ago.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Every player included in talkSPORT's predicted XI graphic has earned at least one cap for England. Some players have not lived up to the hype, but they were not a million miles off in who they thought would shine for their country.

  The full XI (4-4-2): Henderson; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Tomori, Chilwell; Sancho, Gallagher, Foden, Hudson-Odoi; Greenwood, Sterling.
