Its an interesting question of when the England football team first started adding the cross of St.George onto the kit. It never used to be on it. And why was it added? Come to that, when did the Scots add the saltire to their kit and why?
Dunno about Wales and the Welsh dragon. Theres no tricolour on the Irish shirt as far as Im aware.

Germans have the DFB logo. Dutch have the KVNB lion.

Crests aren’t flags for a huge number of international sides.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

This is a good one too

Loads of them knocking about. A mate is selling them for £20 on Facebook

God knows how they make them so quickly.

They're treating it like a religious icon ffs.

Its a tad more important than that. But there's no Fatwa on Nike or the F.A.

 

[Wolftone]

Anyway, Foden or Saka? I dont think both in same team

Why? I absolutely would Foden on the left, Saka on the right, Kane down the middle

Englands crest is the symbol of the England national team not the cross of St George.
3 lions as the coat of arms dates back over 800 years. The 10 red/white roses also represent the 10 tiers of English football.
Combination of the roses also represents the unification of the house of Lancaster and York.
If they fuck around with that then it’s time to get upset but the cross of St George is a relatively new thing on shirts.

Sounds good, never seen Foden on the left tbh. On the right Saka gets my vote. Our left hand side is an issue imo, Grealish and Rashford not sufficient at the top level, and worse still behind them, Chilwell not technically good enough, Shaw is, but regularly unavailable.
(Depends on the opposition obvs).
Im talking about actually trying to win something .
Any suggestions? Anyone? So I can check them out.

He scored a hat trick from the left against Brentford

 

[The Bear]

Foden has played across every forward position for Man City.

Foden - Kane - Saka

Ticks every box IMO.

 

[Alan]

It’s pretty damn scary on paper tbh.

 

[Wolftone]

The mighty Brentford?
Ive never seen Foden play on the left for Man City, id be interested to see it if anyone has links to some highlights?

Well it's not hard to find them is it?

Scoring a hatrick is pretty emphatic though

It is actually. Just been trying to find them on YouTube. (Not the Brentford stuff) The Foden playing on the left stuff.

This is for 20-23 but took me all of 30s of Googling.


“Phil can play in five positions,” Guardiola said in October 2022. “I would say he can even play as a left-back. He played a few minutes there at home and he played really well.” Over the past three seasons, Foden has played a huge variety of positions for City.

Load a link up?
Nothing at all I can find of him playing wide on the left.
I'll wait.
