Either way some interesting assumptions are made by this official England merchandise company. Basically: Lallana, Jay and Rickie make the team but Shaw doesn't according to this. Sorry if article posted elsewhere already. Edited 2 April, 2014 by Mallagroth
Bearsy Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 ugh topps is shite, i will deffo be collecting the panini world cup stickers tho if anyone is interested in swaps send me pm
stevegrant Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 It's got Tom Cleverley, Jermain Defoe and John Ruddy in it, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Mallagroth Posted 2 April, 2014 Author Posted 2 April, 2014 I'm surprised Carroll or Shaw wouldn't be included just in case. From the merchandise company point of view it's surely better to be safe and include potentials.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 ugh topps is shite, i will deffo be collecting the panini world cup stickers tho if anyone is interested in swaps send me pm I might do for nostalgias, used to love the Premier League sticker books back when I was a kid. Least now I wont have to pester and beg my mum for a new pack constantly!
Saint Rees Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 Strange how Gibbs is in there but Glen Johnson isn't
Hatch Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 is it not the Chile/Germany games squad? cant be bothered to check myself.
stevegrant Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 ugh topps is shite, i will deffo be collecting the panini world cup stickers tho if anyone is interested in swaps send me pm Apparently because the FA have done an exclusive licence deal with Topps, Panini can't use the FA logo on the England "shiny", so they just have the St George cross instead, and the players have been photoshopped onto generic white shirts rather than the full "portrait in kit" images. Good of the FA to **** it up for everyone

Good of the FA to **** it up for everyone They've been doing this for some time. I, er, know someone who completed the 2010 World Cup album and it was exactly the same for, erm, him.

disconnect Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 Surely Gibbs is behind Shaw in the pecking order? Also no Glen Johnson? If Tom Cleverley goes Hodgson will be a laughing stock.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 Surely Gibbs is behind Shaw in the pecking order? Also no Glen Johnson? If Tom Cleverley goes Hodgson will be a laughing stock. You know this isn't the actual squad announcement right? Whoever they put in people would complain.
disconnect Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 You know this isn't the actual squad announcement right? Whoever they put in people would complain. Yes I do. It's a sticker / card collection... Just giving my opinion like you do on a forum. Just thinking that Gibbs must be 4th choice at left back, Johnson probably first choice right back, and Cleverley about 25th best in his position (but still somehow in top 3 / 4 choices normally)... I'm sorry!
fish fingers Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 I've started the Panini one, no Saints players on the England page.
SNSUN Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 I've done a few World Cup squads, and in none of them was Cleverley. Henderson and Barkley were picked over him. I, too, would be very surprised if he were chosen to go to Brazil. If Adam, Jay and Rickie go, and Luke misses out, I'd still call that a massive success for Southampton Football Club, especially as this is only our second season in the top flight and all 3 of those players were lower league before that. It also shows how much talent there is in the lower leagues. While I doubt this is accurate (I still don't think Jay will be going, Welbeck (who I must be in the minority of rating) will be the first choice) it still shows that someone, somewhere has confidence in them. As for Luke, he was selected in the last squad and Gibbs wasn't, which is telling IMO. His time will come. I still think Hodgson will take Cole as his back up.

Even Welbeck, who I have found myself warming too. Actually think he'd be a good fit for our system under Poch. That was a shocking miss last night though (probably further shows his suitability for Saints).

Tom28 Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 I think the England squad will looks as follows: Hart Foster or Ruddy Forster Johnson Walker Jagielka Cahill Jones Smalling Baines Shaw or Cole Gerrard Wilshere Carrick or Lampard Sterling Townsend Oxlade Chamberlain Lallana Rooney Sturridge Lambert Henderson or Milner Welbeck or JRod Others: Cleverley Defoe Gibbs Caulker I'd expect the 30 man squad to include all the 'or''s in my first list plus Cleverley and Defoe. I would hope that Carrick, Shaw, JRod, Henderson would be the ones picked over Lampard, Cole, Welbeck and Milner but I can't see Welbeck not going. There's a slim chance of both JRod and Welbeck going but it would mean losing one of Oxlade Chamberlain (who can play a number of positions), Townsend (who is Roy's 'find') and Sterling (who really should be going on form, and talent ahead of both Welbeck and JRod).
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 ugh topps is shite, i will deffo be collecting the panini world cup stickers tho if anyone is interested in swaps send me pm Esso not doing the silver medals this year then? I've got Paul Madeley to swap
Window Cleaner Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 I'd not be surprised to see Oxlade-Chamberlain not included actually, he's playing very poorly just now, although that doesn't seem to be a handicap for an England selection as a rule. Think it will be 2 of AOC,Sterling and Townsend, not all 3.
Saint_Pedro Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 Esso not doing the silver medals this year then? I've got Paul Madeley to swap Still got mine too - and no you can't have Paul Madeley .....
Pancake Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 I'd not be surprised to see Oxlade-Chamberlain not included actually Strange how Gibbs is in there Easy mistake to make
Monk Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 None of our lads are in the Panini sticker book according to this: http://www.footballstickipedia.com/uploads/DOCS/checklist-worldcup2014.pdf
DuncanRG Posted 2 April, 2014 Posted 2 April, 2014 "We've just got word from Hodgson. Yes, six weeks early. Print the damn stickers."
