- On this day back in 1998 Michael Owen scored a superb solo goal against Argentina at the World Cup in France. He played with some great players during his international career, but which of them made it into his England dream team?

The way Owen describes Scholes is absolutely spot on 👏🔥
Gerrard was better both are the best ever cms the premier league has seen
He dont chose scholes in him five side team
@@liamhudspith8691 yes
Gerrard - Scholes, Owen - Shearer with likes of Beckham & Rooney in the team. I still wonder how England didn't make any final... very sad because 1996-2006 are the 10yrs England had to win something!!!
better teams maybe? + england is the most over rated national team in the world, they think they can win every cup, meanwhile they always go out in the group stage...
+Arafa The Black Man. Who's defending in midfield?
They had the perennial penalty-shoot-out-itis. Plus some of the other national teams were full to top players too.
+Arafat UG it's the Mail, Sun, and News of the World who brain-wash us. We do have excellent players sometimes (and teams). The problem is, the other ones are simply better. "It's been the perfect response from England," said McClaren just as Iceland was putting in their goal
Not anymore
The video is 4:42 minutes long and the formation that Owen used is 442
Source?
mrbroccholi it’s in front of your eyes lol
Owen is in the illuminati
@@z.squads8818 yes lol
illuminati confirmed
Owen is still so underrated. 40 international goals by the time he was 26... Had he not had his injuries, Rooney would still be 20 goals behind him for England.
Aditya 82003 Rooneys fitness? As in not being unfit or injured? The guys last game for England was when he was 33. Owen last played at 26 or 27 and he was only 13 goals behind. He was scoring an average of 6 or 7 goals a year (including important goals in World Cups). So for you to say Rooney’s fitness let him down, after playing all those extra years is strange at best. It was Owen that was ravaged by injuries!!
Injuries a sad fact of life for top footballers.
An almost religious dedication to 4-4-2 is what stopped England from winning any trophies or even making the finals during 1996-2006. Such a shame since they had a lot of talented players I mean just the players Owen left out Terry, Sol, Hargreaves, Lampard, McManaman would have made most international XI's
4-4-2 sucks, outdated, predictable and easy to defend against. Kind of like the T formation in American football. Glen Hoddle and now thankfully Gareth Southgate have finally changed that.
Southgate didnt change antyhing. England lost with every decent team during the world cup and they almost lost to average Columbia. Such a shame they dont have lot of quality players and mickey mouse as a coach.
regiment589 As the only team to make the last 4 of the World Cup and Nations League, I'm going to have to disagree with you there.
carrick also, the old fashioned busquets
@@earthstar393 This was the first nations league ever so obviously no other team had reached the last 4 of it before. And England has won the world cup so I can't tell if ur trolling but of couse Southgate's team isn't the first to reach a world cup semifinal.
I'm picking 11 people for england, That makes them my england XI - Micheal Owen
cotillion o
Ironic how you're ripping Michael Owen for being thick yet you spelt Michael incorrectly.
The squad who played against Iceland would be my choice
Same they were AMAZING
But the squad that played Iceland was a good squad. What can you expect from players who are being led by a brainless twat?
Abraham 302 Shrek is love Shrek is life
Abraham 302 On a serious note they're just not experienced... So the nerves get on them. Like Deli Ali he's amazing for Tottenham but can't play for england.
What's having a bad manager to do with with simple basics such as passing a ball? (I don't mean you of course Rooney)
We miss you Michael, hope people could have seen the great player you are like I did. Growing up you were my idol and will always be.
“My England XI will consists of only English players”
- Michael Owen
😂😂😂😂
Последнего в свой дримтим поставил СЕБЯ :) С хитрой улыбочкой. Ну, заслужил, заслужил !
'but upfront, it would have to be Cristiano Ronaldo. He was sensational in England when he played for United' - Michael Owen
ikr
It's called "wishful thinking" - and that's all we ever have.
wow
massive legend you stupid just dont watch football
In England Beckham was better than Ronaldo Beckham had more success than Ronaldo in England
Owen......de lo mejor que ha dado Inglaterra!!
Glad he choose Tony Adams, great leader..
Thank u .. owen for making me watch football when i was a kid
Absolutely correct he picked players from his era unlike other's this shows his talent skills
England always lacked a DMF, except a single great WC 2006 performance by Owen Hargreaves, who was the best player. But Hargo was hammered by injuries.
Always a tough choice by Sven Goran cause you wanted to fit in Becks, Scholesy, Gerro and Lamps, and ALL of them liked to have their back covered by a pure DMF like Roy Keane in UTD or Essien for Chelsea.
Still, all those midfield players loved to tackle, their work rate was amazing, so in theory they could have played together .
But theory is one thing. Chemistry wasnt REALLY there, toxic media and fans always plagued the team, and they could never Truly FIND that winning rhythm, except in a few qualis.
Despite all that nonsense, they lost to a GOAT Brasil team, to Portugal twice on pens, to an amazing German team, to Italy on pens, etc etc. This generation was plagued by some bad luck to add to their roster issues...
Still, had they played with 5 in the midfield, considering how much goals Gerrard and Lampard have been scoring, that would have been the best option. Get rid of the 4-4-2. Give absolute freedom to Gerrard and others fall in behind, covering each other.
4-3-2-1
Beckham-Scholes-Hargreaves
Lampard-Gerrard
Rooney
Thats a winning team right here. I guess lol
my two fav player and forward were Owen and Shearer as well
John Terry over Tony Adams any day!
I was also thinking of him there.
Did you ever see Adams during his career? The guy basically was Terry before Terry but without the cheating.
Terry is definitely better than Adams. But it's hard to judge across eras. Adams was superb for England and Arsenal.
@@ed1726 you can't possibly say that because of the different eras means you can't compare them. It's like saying Terry was better than Bobby Moore but they are different eras. Terry was lucky to be in an era where there was more focus on fitness, mental strength, people looking after them etc...both Adam's and Moore had their demons outside of football...modern footballers will always be ahead of the past because of the modern day techniques and conditions to help them succeed.
@@gonnaw1n I can't work out where the disagreement lies because you seem to be agreeing with me?
Interesting Video, great Team. Each of his choices perfectly described and justified by Michael Owen.
Michael Owen: Fantastic player and fantastic for England. Nice one, Michael.
Everyone talking about wether John terry or tony adams should be in the team, meanwhile his former liverpool teammate Jamie Carragher is crying in a corner
😂😂😂
Lol he didn't pick JT well done Owens lol
Adams is clear
Great dream team mate. You made England proud. Wish the team had always been a dream when you were playing. So sad about unlucky moments as well. At your time, England should have won the world cup. Now, without talents like you, no chance!
I am sure this squad, would be better with 4-3-3. Putting Rooney up front.
Shearer as #9
"It would certainly have competed on the international stage in the World Cup" - Michael Owen
Thanks, Michael. We thought FIFA World Cup is club football.
I’m Phil Jones & i’m Chris Smalling 😂😂😂😂
Banks, G Neville, Ferdinand, Moore, A Cole, Mc Manaman, Lampard, Scholes, Beckham,
Charlton, Shearer
Terry, lampard, and to a lesser extent campbell the big names to miss out
these 3 were slow
We can put them into the team when they start playing with 14 players
It's saying something about the strength as individual players that England had in Michael Owen's time (if maybe not getting the success as a team) that the likes of Sol Campbell, John Terry, Michael Carrick and Frank Lampard didn't make it.
I did have a few other names to mention too but expect that they would have been scoffed at but don't think too many wouldn't rate those four above.
Seaman; Alexander - Arnold, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole; Gerrard, Hargreaves, Lampard; Rooney, Shearer, Sterling.. This wud b my dream 🏴 team I guess
sterling lol
Micheal owen is Englands best ever player between 1996-2006 he won the bloody Ballon dor
Hasan And he disrespects Manchester United who let him win his ONLY premier league.
Shearer was better
Owen wasn't playing professional football in 96
He’s put Rooney on the wing coz he’s too much of an ego to leave himself out
One player Rooney
Anyone remember that goal vs Argentina
I remember the red card more
I remember when you said when they don't score they hardly ever win
wtf you left out Heskey 😠
Heskey you kidding...better Jamie vardy
Heskey is a beast.
The thing is, Owen and Heskey had a great connection
Also lampard
Lol just found my own comment randomly
seamen
neville ferdinand terry cole
scholes
lampard gerrard
rooney
shearer owen
top 3 can score goals from anywhere, scholes pulling the strings, gerrard working box to box along side frank. ashley cole and neville bombing up the wings. this spine would have forced teams to play down the flanks, cole and neville both brilliant at defending.
if only they played that midfield 3 they would have won something
you need to put Beckham in though. Where would he play
People always bang on about Scholes, Stevie and Frank in Midfield. Probably youngsters that don't remember Scholes retired from international football in 04. Stevie and Frank were still developing then. They would peak years later. An in form, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard at the peak of their powers was never available for selection. And yes, managers did try to convince Scholesy to come back, most notably Cappello for 2010 - and he declined.
lampard he was made to look good by his CHELSEA TEAMMATES WHO DID THE DONKEY WORK
Adams was better than terry
You left lampard was it look at how many goals and assists he scored as a midfielder
Hasan Murtaza not just gold and assist
And lineker
Quality player no doubt but you can’t not have scholes, the man could find my grandad with a pass and I haven’t seen him for over 10 years
Michael Brereton Beckham much better passer
He was great but Gerrard and Scholes were better
Clemence, Lawler, Kennedy, Smith, Thompson, Gerrard, McDermott, Barnes, McManaman, Fowler, Hunt......
he was my idolt as a kid lost respect when he joined utd but his reasons for mid gave me reason to respect. hope he keeps chill more so he can e the owen i wanted to be as a kid tbh
Unbelievable player - I love u Owen

7. D. Beckham
8. F. Lampard
9. A. Shearer
10. W. Rooney

England 2002 and England 2018 were the best team ever for England ;-)
2018? hahaha
2018 team got lucky
You gotta have Lampard in there. The greatest goal scoring midfielder we’ve ever had. You can’t leave him out for that reason alone.
You can
Jimmy Greaves best goal scorer ever in GB. Can't pick yourself before him Michael.
That England team which whacked a shell-shocked Germany 5-1 in Munich with Owen scoring a hat trick was the most lethal line-up. Too bad Gerrard was the missing link in the WC finals.
Squad without Captain John Terry it's too bad
Lampard ?
Wayne bridge too lol
Gerrard
This certainly proves my assertion that the 2000's were the golden age of football.
What a team,what talent we had,we should have won the big competitions 🇬🇧👍
Missed Lampard Hurst Charlton Moore Terry Lineker Gascoigne
Josh Mellor It's his best team not yours...
Just shocker
***** Maybe because they're the players he knows most about?
***** you replied to your own comment?
Josh Mellor He was adding a bit
From Portugal.
The Squad only players i saw
GK: Shilton maybe Seaman and Hart (keepers is not best quality)
RD: Parker and Gary Neville
LD: Stuart Pearce and Le Saux
CD: Tony Adams, Ferdinand, Des Walker and Campbell
CM: Gerard, Lampard, Scholes
N°10: Gascoigne, Hoddle and Le Tisser
Wingers: Waddle and Macmanaman
Strikers: Shearer, Lineker, Owen and Rooney
Waiting for Owen get injury, Ian Wright
Waiting for Gascoigne get kick out, Jonh Barnes
Waiting for the sponsors demand Le Tisser get replace, Beckam
Love Owen!! Manchester United legend!
All great players. Couldn't disagree with that.
Really solid team with top class players
I agree with most of these except for Owen.
David Seaman
Gary Neville
Rio Ferdinand
Tony Adams
Ashley Cole
David Beckham
Steven Gerrard
Paul Scholes
John Barnes
Alan Shearer
Wayne Rooney
i don't think he played with barnes
Ferdinand, neville, scholes, beckham, rooney.. He loves united
David Seaman
Gary Neville
Rio Ferdinand
John Terry
Ashley Cole
David Beckham
Steven Gerrard
Paul Scholes
Wayne Rooney
Michael Owen
Alan Shearer
What A Big Dream Teams !!!
I’d have Rooney in the hole, gerrard and becks either side and scholes Pinging balls for the strikers, 442 diamond
Fair enough...I guess Lampard in as Super sub :)
My England XI (option A)
Formation: 3-5-1-1 or 5-3-1-1
GK David Seaman
RWB Garry Neville
RCB Rio Ferdinand
CB/SW Tony Adams
LCB Harry Maguires
LWB Ashley Cole
RCM David Beckham
CDM Paul Ince
LCM Steven Gerrard
CF Paul Scholes
ST Alan Shearer
Stellar team!
1966 team was tuff.. with no personal ego
It's an absolute travesty lampard was preferred to scholes in an England shirt. Paul was probably the best midfielder this country has ever produced, and yet he was pushed to the left - good choice opting for scholes imo
Alvin Useree how many goals have he score lampard scored more goal then your striker
Scholes only got passing on Lampard be quiet.
striker- shearer and keegan midfield , mcmanaman, robson, scholes, beckham, cole, adams, rio, g.neville , shilton.
Owen stayed up until 11 o clock thinking about this
I would have been disappointed if Michael had not included himself. Thanks, too, for including David Seaman, one of the best [alongside Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van de Saar] goalkeepers in the FICA world cups. My sole complaint is that Lampard was not included.
Why not just play 3 up top rather than sticking Rooney on the left?!
Too exiting for owen.
how does beckham, gerrard and scholes work as a midfield 3?
@@JC-ko1bp Scholes can play on the left according to Sven Goran Erikkson. lol
My England XI (option B)
Formation: 4-4-1-1
Seaman
Neville Terry Rio A.Cole
Becks Ince Gerrard Sterling
Rooney
Shearer
I'd actually put steve mcmanaman on the left, he was a classy player and skillful. Didnt have too much pace but is able to beat players and has a good assist rate. I would omit owen and put Teddy in there, who can forget SAS?
Best XI in Owen's time: Richard Wright, Micah Richards, Matt Upson, Zat Knight, Konchesky, Bowyer, Rob Lee, Alan Thompson, Seth Johnson, Francis Jeffers, Darisu Vassell.
What is Richard Wright doing in here? 1, he`s dead, 2 he`s not a footballer.
3, great keyboard player though.
Totally agree with Owen...
I'm sorry I can't take this seriously. No Michael Ricketts?
whos Michael Ricketts
el mejor delantero del mundo. Michael owen
Take out seaman, Adams and shearer and you basically have the team from euro 2004 if you add in john Terry, david James, put in lampard and push rooney up front
+Declan Hampson Take out Shearer though?
Why Shearer?!
+Ishmael Forester he is just talking about how similar it is to the Euro 2004 team
if they had a prime shearer they would have gone a lot further..
ruined scholes. that was the difference.
Величайшие игроки, великолепная сборная тех времён, к сожалению не добившаяся больших результатов и побед. К этой сборной я бы добавил ещё Джона Терри, Соула Кэмпбелла, Лэмпарда, Джо Коула, Макманамана, Гаскойна. Когда теперь ещё будет такая сборная и будет ли вообще
I'm guessing that Alan Shearer did not have Michael Owen up front with him in his dream team.
anyone can tell me what clubs they played in premiere leage ?
Agree with your choice, Michael.
Seaman,
Neville, rio ferdinand, Terry, cole
mcmanaman, Gerrard, scholes, beckham.
Kane, Shearer
They always pick Gary Neville. Shows you that England have never had a world class right back
Fergie picked Gary too. Shows you Fergie has never been a world-class manager…Yeah, seems about right…
agreed with Beckham.. he was the best England team player I have seen yet..beckham really shone for his country
Totally agree
Seaman
Neville-ferdinand-terry-cole
Beckham-gerrard-scholes-lampard
Owen-ronney
Did you know that John Terry is Manchester United Legend due to that legendary slip in Moscow?😎
nhial jok hahahahaha
Btw I am a chelsea fan
Karan Dwivedi 😂 too bad for you mate
I understand his dream team selections but too many others from days past like Huddle, Keegan, Trevor Brooking and many others are better selections. His back four is solid but even the Ledley King is better than Adams.
Man said ledley king
And it was a team who Owen played with
@@alfieb6711 Missed that the first time. thx
I'm glad he didn't pick Lampard and Gerrard in a same team.. great choice Michael
How did Rooney "score goals in all the big competitions"?
ypcypc lmao
+ypcypc he's england's leading goalscorer in the euros
he's scored 5 in the euros and 1 in the world cup
exactly...that's what they like to leave out here
+ypcypc Well, he did manage to score against Iceland from 11 metres out.
About all player's played for man United
There is a midfielder who does everything that those two in the park can do combined plus reads the game better defensively and is more two footed and hasn't made the team.
Best selection Micheal 🙂
Absolutely correct
I can name someone better than gerrard frank lampard
pretty sure the sponsors wouldn't let him say john terry for centre half
Not even a honorable mention for Emile heskey?? I mean after all taht he's done for you all those years, Michael??!
I thought so as well
How I wish I could go back to 1996
Lack of a true number 6 and a playmaking 10 always seem to hamper England at international level. A number 6 like a Pirlo or Xavi who could take the ball on the half turn and progress it forward quickly through midfield and a number 10 who could as the Italians say “reinvent” the game with a killer pass against deep lying defences in the knockout games.
my perfect team.. same team i would pick!
What a hit son
M.OWEN THE BEST ! ULUBIENIEC JEDEN Z NAJ ..🎈⚽️🎈⚽️🎈⚽️🎈👍🇵🇱
Just name the fucking United squad
Subs: Shilton, Terry, Campbell, Charlton, lampard, Lineker and Gascoigne Like if you agree
+William Stephanus Subs? The greatest of all time is probably Teddy Sherringham, first top scorer of the Premier League, intelligent, selfless players player, one reason Shearer scored so much, won an English team the country's first ever Trebble. Underrated too. Except the Chelsea players, your picks for subs look good to me.
How did we not win anything with these players
You had it almost all together at the same time. Dream team only on paper. No mentality and no hard work to win anything maybe except 1996. Celebrities of UK...
