If he was born English, would they have a decent chance of winning the World Cup?

If he was born English, would my Gareth Bale meme finally take off????
unironically yes
No. Even if Messi was born English they wouldn't win the World Cup.
just like Giggs
Makes sense, since Messi has never won the World Cup.
Sterling is better.
jej
Well Argentina arent going to win it with Messi anyway.
>be Wales
>basically England B team
>but every few years you produce a world class winger who cant/wont play for England
The current Bayol ? No
But Bale at 2015/2016 Yes
Does Madrid like to have a token Brit in their team?
>McManaman
>Beckham
>Owen
>Bale
whose next (spoiler: it's Kane)
Brits at Madrid
>McManaman
meh
>Beckham
Failure considering his hype
>Owen
Failure , A Balon D'or winner that is a bench warmer
>Bale
Mixed (Good for two seasons and shit for two seasons)
I wouldn't chose Madrid if I was Kane considering Brits track record at Madrid
>A Balon D'or winner that is a bench warmer
I cant remember if it was at Madrid or an England game but I remember he collapsed and suffered a bad injury mid-run, was never the same after that. As for Beckham, he was 90% hype anyway.
No, because they simply don't have the tactical genius teams like Germany, Italy, Spain, etc have. This is exacerbated by the fact too few English talents at the top teams get the time to gain the experience needed at that level to give them the edge.
Talking about British players at Madrid has made me realise you really dont see many English players in foreign leagues. Almost every other Euro nation has players all over the place.
nigga wales made a semi with a bunch of championship shitters, there are barely any tactics in international football
>Goal kick
>pass to 2nd best player
>hope he passes to 1st best player
>score
Wasn´t that at the 06 WC? Against Trip Advisor and Trivago of all things
Cringe
do you think messi regrets not playing for spain?
Sterling Kane Bale
Lallana Dier Henderson
Rose Stones Smalling Walker
Butland (?)
Honestly even with Bale I can't see them winning, their midfielders just aren't good enough.
Italy doesn't have as many players abroad either, but you wouldn't consider Italy a shit national team historically.
>no Vardy
tell me how I know you don't know shit
Should be something like this
--Kane-Vardy--
Alli-Dier-Wilshere-Sterling
Rose-Keane-Maguire-Walker
----Pickford----
lmao
McManaman is also listed as a club legend on the official Real Madrid website, with his legacy being that of being fondly remembered as "The versatile Englishman", and described as one who "in only four seasons, won the hearts of Madrid's followers. The mixture of his gentlemanly nature both on and off the pitch, combined with teamwork and quality made sure that this Englishman was one of the most loved players by the fans...McManaman's natural position was on the right, but during his time at Real Madrid he played in every midfield position. His ability to change position made him a very versatile player."[139]
t. Wikipedia
forgot Jonathon Woodgate too
In a hypothetical scenario where Bale was English you would seriously start fucking Vardy over him?
The tactic falls down when your 2nd best player gets suspended for the semi final.

what will he do when the man bun fall out of fashion?
upvoted
Why the fuck isnt there just united kingdom national team?
Wow, green japan
15/16 England would have needed 3 or 4 Bales.
Kemon aso bhaiya, desher bari koi?
>having to use jordan henderson in your national team
The way they defended that wouldn't have mattered anyway.
becuase it would be england + bale and the other countries would whine about muh representation
Ramsey might start too, it's not like England's midfield is full of talent at the moment.
