What a difference 4 years makes
I wouldn't have any of them in our current squad ( not counting king)

Crouch and Ekotto in the form they were in back then would have been very useful for us. Ekotto all season and Crouch at least while Ade was being sidelined and as an option afterwards. Not a big fan of Bassong, but he wouldn't have been worse than all of our central defenders this season I think.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing Sandro and Paulinho for Brazil, and Verts for Holland.

Would be nice for some of our young players like Lamela, Holtby and Walker going along for the ride too.

If Belgium draw Netherlands at some point, does it affect the space time continuum?

I doubt Sandro or Lamela will make the final squads. Let alone Holtby. Walker is injured.
 
There's a fair chance Walker will feature against Aston Villa on Sunday.

If he does, I wouldn't rule against his inclusion in Roy's squad of 23.

Arsenal will be wheeling out Wheelchair for their final game as well.
