The ones I’d say were nailed on to be in/around the team:
Henderson
TAA
Wan-Bissaka
Gomez
Foden
Sancho
Rashford
Greenwood
I suspect most/all of the other names mentioned will fall by the wayside and be displaced by the best of the 14/15/16 year olds in the academies.
Ben White and Kalvin Phillips will be starting in 2026.
I forgot about Rice actually. I know many dont but I rate him.

Henderson will be 36 by then, boldish
Henderson the goalkeeper, not SuperFly® Captain Hendo of Liverpool.

True, only Lampard could still do that at 33.

Lampard even got the Chelsea manager’s job via a wicked deflection off Derby County.

Frightening amount of talent coming through. And whilst there are never any guarantees of the heights they'll hit, the likes of TAA and Sancho are already in the "world class" bracket imo. If there's one weakness, I suppose it's at centre back, where outside of Gomez there isn't a really outstanding one in the current team or coming through. But the likes of Stones and Maguire are still very capable centre halfs, so it's not an emergency as much as just an area for possible improvement.
What I find most disturbing about this is that I'm a Northern Ireland fan and I'm actually quite excited about what England can achieve in the next three or four tournaments!
