Yes, and we reached 3 quarter finals going out on penalties, perhaps that's our level? I would simply pick the best players, Wilshire IMO is one of our better players. I think the problem with the so-called golden generation is that Sven tried to pick them all and consequently we didn't have the right balance in the team.
Oh and is Wilshire really a 'superstar player'? I don't think so. He was a young player who burst onto the scene with a lot of hype, playing for a big club and has suffered massively with injuries. Not his fault. He's an easy target for those fans who like to jump on the bandwagon and find a hate figure.
I'll say it again, Wilshire is a massive talent who when fit and in form is a certain starter for England. I very much like the idea of him playing alongside Dier at the base of the England midfield.
