How Many Saints Can We Cheer in Next Summer's World Cup Finals?

[Pwoite]

Last time round there were a couple of ex Saint has beers knocking around at the World Cup finals, but clearly no current players where within a thousand miles of the final. Next summer, how many Saints will be playing? Let's hope Boruc doesn't make it, but Ramirez, Osvaldo, Yoshida, Lovren and Lambert might all be there, qualifying allowing. Wanyama looks unlikely, and Danny Fox's chances seem to be blown!

 

Any late runners to add? Morgan, perhaps?

Morgan could well make the French squad if he manages to build on last season and we do well. Think you've about covered it, can't see anybody else making it.

Can we not wish Poland success through the playoff system?

Or have FIFA reduced their earning chances by ditching them?

[DuncanRG]

Actually, Clyne could travel if England qualify and Walker or Johnson are injured/have a very poor season.

 

I really think Shaw might make it. If he keeps playing and improving could be left back or left wing.

 

I really can't see that unless there are serious injuries. Baines and Cole are absolutely nailed on otherwise

There is talk in the media and at Sky about Shaw getting a call-up. Stelling tweeted yesterday that it's just a matter of time before Shaw is called up.

I agree, but for a World Cup we'll want people like Cole in the team, his experience will be vital. There's every chance that Shaw will outperform him this season, but probably not Baines.

With Woy in charge, I'm not confident we'll see any Englishmen there, apart from Howard Webb perhaps.
