If England win the World Cup...

Future fans will talk about Jordan Henderson in the same breath as Bobby Charlton.

Let that sink in for a moment, then read on.

Regardless of what you or I know today, tomorrow's Wahls and Strettys will rush in to point out that Henderson was by far the better player because in Charlton's days they were all just a bunch of fat fecks in lead boots kicking a pig's bladder around a potato field.

The Got_Betters of 2050 will overhype England before every World Cup reminding us all of the day Southgate's Sucklings overcame the ageing French champions of 1998 to install a footballing dynasty that ruled from the shadows ever since, regardless of the fact that their biggest achievement thereafter was to beat Bosnia & Herzegovina in a 3rd-place playoff at the 2036 Euros.

Personally, I will also perhaps die, which might just make it all worthwhile.



Feel free to add your own predicted scenarios.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but others are equally entitled to theirs. I thought you were a little too dismissive of Hendo tbh.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I don't think you will find many who think Hendo is the better of the two Players.

Apology retracted.

You don't need to be better than an opponent on paper in order to beat them in a one-off game. Loose ball in the third minute, last defender red card, and the final gets turned on its head.

And neither Belgium nor France have Henderson anyway.

France got taken out by a CR7-less Portugal in the Euro final. England could beat them, although the first step is getting to the final!
