We are now within 18 months of the Olympics and we can start thinking about who would make up the squad. All players should be under 23 with the exception of 3 over-age players. Scotland, Ireland and Wales have said they will not allow their players to take part (although i can't see how they could stop them - are they really going to ban Bale for example? cut, nose, face, spite?)
So how about a pop at picking a team? I've had a go
Joe Hart*
Kyle Walker Chris Smalling Jack Rodwell Phil Jones
Theo Walcott Jack Wilshere Josh McEachran Adam Johnson* (if no Bale)
Wayne Rooney* Daniel Sturridge
subs: Wellbeck, Albrighton, Caulker, Lansbury, Delfouneso, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Steele, Trippier, Kelly, Henderson, Cleverly, Wickham
