Future England (football) Stars

It has been remiss of me not to have posted this, much earlier. I appreciate there is little interest in this (on this site at least) but many of you will know someone who is interested
(someone much younger than you, perhaps).

These are three players that I conferred “future England star” status on when they were still at school. People who follow these things should be aware of the first two’s future prospects (but should be and are, are two different things) but the third still hasn’t yet dawned even on Liverpool fans yet. Although I had thought it must have done, by now.

First, Jadon Sancho, currently a flying flank player, recently moved from Man City to Borussia Dortmund.
Secondly, a similar type player, Callum Hudson-Odoi of Chelsea.
And thirdly, Curtis Jones, midfield player for Liverpool.

Better late than never (or so they say).

Well, you’ve had enough time now, have you passed on this good news to England fans, looking for a light at the end of the tunnel?

It’s most odd how so many Liverpool fans who follow what is coming through their academy, haven’t even now, grasped what they have in Curtis Jones and how soon he’ll be turning out in their first team. And he’s just the sort of player the England fans have been crying out for.

I think we might all be too old to answer.

Soccer? Isn’t that a girl’s game?

Men playing soccer is like men playing netball, it’s just for fun, no one takes it seriously.

To be honest I couldn’t give a toss about football. Nothing worse than seeing grown men running around a field to kick a ball into a net. Worse than that they start to have a "love in "session straight away afterwards, even go as far as jumping on each other back and hugging each other.

Great example to set our kids I don’t think

You are never too old to answer a simple question. Unless of course your brain has gone completely.

I was well aware there was little interest from the tired old men on here (and the Soap Opera cat loving women) but I thought some of you must know someone who IS interested.

(Just to clarify: I’m thinking of young people here)

Then you are on the wrong site.

I do not know anyone who is interested in watching overpaid idiots chasing a ball then hugging and spitting all over the place before sloping off to dubious hotels with even more dubious groupies.

It is not sport - it is just boring.

Gave up watching football and taking any interest at all some time ago now
when I realised that soccer like most sports involving big money is all fixed.

Well, l wish l had known more about football at the quiz l went to the other night.
Our team missed out on winning £130 in the ‘Snowball’ round! We got four out of five, as we didn’t know which footballer was known as the ‘Divine Ponytail’.

You don’t have any children or grand children, eh. How sad.

Most people on here will. It’s for them.

You’re on the wrong thread. Isn’t there one about allotments or something more to your taste?

Don’t have contact with your children or grand children, eh.
Kids can be cruel.

Maybe if you could have related better to them. Shown an interest in the national football team. Then it wouldn’t have ended like this?

As you are here, who is it?

Roberto Baggio

I’m a footie fan but prefer non-league semi professional football.

I would have included Tyrone Mings on that list but he broke his leg on his Premier League debut for Bournemouth and hasn’t really figured since!

Gravitas, Moscow was correct! I am surprised you didn’t know the answer… but then Roberto Baggio is not young at 51 and he played for Italy!! :slight_smile:

I have heard of Paul Pogba, who plays for Manchester United!

I bet you’re well impressed at that!! :lol:

Moscow, Thanks for that! :slight_smile:

Still young lads so may make their mark under a different manager in the future.

no one has had more love of their national team than I or my OH or my two sons but we no longer watch or support soccer due to the fact that it is one big scam and all about money and not sport sadly…

Who was it that said religion (football) is opium for the masses ?
