A silly notion to be honest but all this qualifying for the World Cup got me thinking of our current squad and where we're at in terms if international prowess. We have Colin Doyle who is second string at Ireland and Shay McCarten (remember him?) who also gets the odd call-up but who REALISTICALLY could cut it and for which team? Very random thought but one for me to ponder on a quiet Tuesday night in October.

First up - Romain Vincelot. Never won a Fench cap but I honestly think he wouldn't be that bad alongside Pogba in that midfielder 😂😂 - let's just think about this for a minute ... he wouldn't have to do much running and pop up the box when needed, plus he can pass a ball and has the tenacity the French team need in midfield!

Charlie Wyke - if players like Robson-Kanu can score and perform at the Euros there is no reason why Charlie from Wyke couldn't do a job for say, Northern Ireland! He needs to be a team where there are few options up top, Eygpt also spring to mind!

Matthew Killgallon - For me he could get into several teams; Iran, South Korea? They would both benefit from a big powerful presence at the back and his form this season certainly warrants a start.

Tony McMahon - The assist king himself would be deserving of a call-up to a nation in need of a delivery to a big guy.....Australia!! Yep, with Tim Cahill still banging them in at 38 (ish) McMahon's pinpoint crosses would be converted with ease by Cahill. Oh...and Australia are still yet to qualify so fingers crossed!

Any more suggestions? Feel free to comment below. I'll be compiling a World Cup 11 - who would play for who and where come summer next year. I got all my info from this gem of a website I found whilst surfing page 26 on google search results for 'World Cup' - Ask Fans World Cup Guide! It's actually a decent little find and looks like an independent online start-up which for me is sometimes is better than the big boys generic retort!
