Great Britain XI


With England, Scotland and Wales producing blotches of talent but not enough to be truly contenders for the World Cup or Euros, is it time that the 4 nations combined to play as Great Britain in all competitions? After all, we saw how successful the Great Britain Olympic football team was this year and given the current love over Team GB, and the divisive nature of having English, Scottish and Welsh football teams, perhaps the time is right to convince people that a Great Britain football team might be the way to go.

It's a bit hypothetical but if we were to select a Great Britain XI now, this would be my team:

Kit maker: Adidas

Coach: Roy Hodgson
Assistant Coach: Stuart Pearce

Starting team:
Joe Hart (GK)
Ashley Cole
Joleon Lescott
Chris Smalling
Leighton Baines
Joe Allen
Aaron Ramsey
Steven Gerrard (captain)
Gareth Bale
Wayne Rooney
Danny Welbeck

Substitutes:
Wayne Hennessey (GK)
Ben Foster (GK)
Micah Richards
Chris Gunter
Glen Johnson
Charlie Adam
Tom Cleverley
James Milner
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Theo Walcott
Steven Fletcher
