There has never been a single world class English footballer

It's true though

>>151801781
Kenny Daglish

Ashley Cole
Harry Kane
Jude Bellingham
Riob Ferdinand
John Terry
Gordon Banks
Bobby Charlton
Bobby Moore
Kevin Keegan
Jimmy Greaves
Peter Beardsley
John Barnes
Peter Shilton
Wayne Rooney

>>151801792
Go to bed, Pablo

David Beckham

>>151801796
of that entire list i honestly think only bobby charlton has any case
keegan was highly decorated but he was more of a hard grafter than a talent

>>151801796
None of them were ever the best in the world except by accounts of other players maybe Banks

>>151801796
>Ashley Cole
I have a terrible habit of always conflating this name and Sydney Cole
It makes for some awkward search entries

>>151801759 (OP)
what about Johnny English?

>>151801970
You wanked off to Ashley, didn't you

>>151801796
Frank Lampard
Steven Gerrard
Paul Scholes

>>151801759 (OP)
Michael Owen received a Ballon D'Or in 2001. I'll bash your fucking head in if you disrespect England again.

Here doesn't count, but everywhere else I've learned I can pop in on any thread discussing goal scorers and chime in "Yeah, but all his goals are on penalty kicks, anyone could do that." Then if I happen to view the thread again a day later, I will enjoy dozens or maybe even hundreds of seething Europoors.

What a ridiculous game. It's the equivalent of arguing that the top 20 NFL players are all kickers because they're the leading scorers.

Beckham was world class for a bit

>>151801759 (OP)
>Geoff Hurst is the only player still alive that played for England in a World Cup final
This is all you need to know how shit England is at football

>>151801796
also add me to this list

>>151801781
this guy >>151802485

>>151801796
OP obliterated so hard he left the thread crying

>>151801759 (OP)
What does "world class" even mean to you guys anyway? To me it's the ability to compete at the highest levels throughout ZA WARUDO and that's a bit of a broad tent when you consider who plays in shit like champions leagues.

>>151802945
It's a meaningless arbitrary term used by clueless mouth breathing morons and media personalities to fellate their favorite players, technically every single player in any top flight club in the top 5 leagues is world class

George Best

Becks was world class for years.
Lineker is a shout too

>>151802945
has over 90 rating in fifa

>>151801808
that's SIR david beckham to you, canuck

>>151801759 (OP)
Stanley Matthews

Harry Kane is the best footballer in the world at the moment. Bayern just has terrible PR.

I am dead serious btw.

>>151803209
are you really really seriouis hans? or are you trying to show us your german """humor"""?

>>151803225
yes i am you little nigger.

>>151803277
you're objectively retarded :/

>>151802485
Paul Konchesky is that you?

>>151801759 (OP)
if he was a spanish or italian everybody will ride his meat 24/7

>>151802416
The midfield that shook the world and won 4 world cups

oh wait...

>>151802416
>Scholes as deep-lying playmaker
>Gerrard as a ball fondler #8
>Lampard as an offensive CM that invades the box
That would've been two Euro and WC titles, at least

Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard were world class at one point for sure.

Kane is just a statpadder playing in the shitty modern era football. If he was playing in 2010 he would be a striker in Wigan. Bellingham is just a tanned Tom Cleverley.

>>151802945
>>151802968
It's meant to mean being a top 3 player in your position.

>>151801759 (OP)
mate have you never heard of David Beckham? He changed the way the game was played. We've never seen anyone like him

>>151803209
Don't google his record in finals

Cole Palmer

>>151801759 (OP)
Michael Owen, Steven Gerard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Beckham

Decal Rice will be if he isnt already

>>151804584
I was here when we made this

>>151801970
ash has put a phone up his arse

If seething about not having any true world class players was a sport England would be world class at it

>>151801796
Did Ashley Cole really stick his phone up his ass and get a teammate to call him

>>151801796
Matt le Tissier
Alan Shearer
Paul Gascoigne
David Beckham
Michael Owen
Andy Cole

>>151801759 (OP)
Steve Stone
David Batty
Julian Dicks

>>151823334
Literally one of the best LB's of all time.
>>151830460
Forgot about le tis.

>>151801781
John England

>>151801796
Kinda surprised you don't have Stanley Matthews in there.

>>151801759 (OP)
john terry

>>151801759 (OP)
george best

>>151802945
I suppose the only logical interpretation of world class (that isn't ridiculously permissive) is that it describes a player who could plausibly play on a global XI team.

>>151802945
>>151836981
Someone who, if aliens came down and said we had to beat them in an exhibition match in x sport or they'll explode the earth, would make the roster of an all world team (or at least have an argument of doing so — maybe there are 5 goalkeepers who you'd argue for even if a squad usually only has three, maybe there are seven starting pitchers when a rotation usually has five)

You could argue ashley cole and maybe terry, but he fucks other dudes’ wives

>>151830587
>David Batty
holy based

I unironically think Harry Kane is the best english footballer ever produced

>>151834987
Legit forgot but yes, him too.

>>151801759 (OP)
I was gonna say George best, but he wasn’t even English *skull emoji*

Erling Haaland

>>151840865
based norf ayyish

>>151840771
nothing unironic about it. I definitely think Kane is England's best forward ever produced even more so than Rooney.

>>151802416
lol

>>151801759 (OP)
Foden is the best European player not named Haaland of the last ten years. Going to be very funny seeing /sp/ cope over the next few seasons

>england invented football
>cant even win in it

>>151801796
lmao pathetic

>>151850305
There's 5 Ballon D'or winners there all when the award actually meant something.
You should probably watch another sport gypsybro.

>>151844380
Why does England play better without him then?

>>151801759 (OP)
blocks your path and breaks your legs

>>151844380
has only 1 season as a first choice player at 25 lol

>>151850377
3 winners*

>>151850377
>>151850611
only 2 actually Owen isnt named lol

>>151850618
Just checked. Matthews (56) Charlton (66) and Keegan (78 & 79) I thought Greaves won it at some point.

>>151850909
Matthews isn't actually named there.
