7 key players for England at the 2022 World Cup
Well, this English side looks soo strong but can try to win the World Cup? Well you never know, some of their players are in the top forms of their careers. So let’s have a look at the top 7 English players who could win the world cup for England this year.
- Harry Kane:- I mean it’s not even a question that how good this player is, he is a good striker, a good captain, and whatnot. So not considering him in the list of who could win the world cup for England will be illegal.
- Raheem Sterling:- He may not impress this season with his new team Chealse but last season with Manchester City he played a very improved role in winning Premier League.
- Phil Foden:- He is dominating English football. He with Erling Haaland just dominating Premier League this season. With this form, he will be a great asset to England.
- Declan Rice:- According to the latest report by Whoscored.com, Rice has won the most 50-50s in Premier League (35) than any other player in the English World Cup squad. So we have to consider him.
- John Stones:- We are considering John Stones over Kyle Walker here as Stones’ recent form was awesome. According to Whoscored.com his successful passing percentage in Pl is 95% and that’s insane he has a 75% successful tackle rate in PL this season. So he will play a huge role in England this World Cup.
- James Maddison:- Let’s hear it from Southgate on why he picked James. He’s a good player, we’ve always said that. We think he can give us something different from the other attacking players we’ve got. At various stages, there have been debates about James, moments where ahead of the Euros I don’t think he was in contention. He’s playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country and he’s a little bit different.”
- Aaron Ramsdale:- Without a goalkeeper, your squad is incomplete for any kind of football tournament England have some of the best goalkeepers in the world and this Ramsdale is the best among them right now. He proved everything this season with Arsenal and he will be a perfect choice.
