00:00Could Max Daumann and Rio N'Gamoa make the England World Cup squad?
00:04If you're an England fan, you should have been very excited about last weekend's football.
00:08A 16 and 17-year-old standing out for Arsenal and Liverpool respectively is rare.
00:13Them both being English is rarer.
00:15They're both undoubtedly future stars, but can they be stars this summer?
00:19Starting with Daumann, in my opinion, he has a higher ceiling than Rio and is probably better now.
00:25The fearlessness and ability he showed versus Everton on Saturday night was special.
00:29He created the key goal, Jokeres is, and showed immaculate feet to score the dagger.
00:33By the way, calling it only an open goal is mental.
00:37He got the ball 80 yards out and beat two men to create the open goal.
00:42Deary me.
00:42Unfortunately for Daumann, his direct competition for a spot on the right slash the middle is Saka, Palmer and Foden.
00:47It's England's most stacked profile.
00:50This also ignores Madweke and Bowen.
00:52Max, you're special, but this summer might be too soon.
00:55Rio, on the other hand, hear me out.
00:58Gordon is playing up front for Newcastle on a consistent basis now and will likely go as a versatile left
01:05wing slash striker option.
01:06Rashford has been decent for Barcelona.
01:08Rogers is more of a 10, but England don't have a winger like Rio, a take on demon.
01:14You can point to the stats from Sunday versus Spurs.
01:16No chance of created, no goals or assists, but he completed more dribbles than anyone on the pitch and passed
01:20the eye test with flying colours.
01:22He will cause any right back in the world problems with his fleet of foot and burst of acceleration.
01:27Look, is it likely either of them go?
01:29No.
01:30But Rio is an outside shout on profile and Daumann is certainly good enough to compete for a spot if
01:35he got more game time at Arsenal.
01:37What fun, eh?
01:38The future might not be now, but it's en route.
