With the country divided, and without getting too political, there is talk of Northumbria (basically the North of England) gaining independence from the rest of country and taking up similar status to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
However, right now it is just a pipe dream from those who want to govern themselves. With this independence means a new national football team for Northumbria, so here are the starting XI and the rest of the 23 man squad that potentially could line up for Northumbria if they do become a separate country.
Goalkeeper - Jordan Pickford
Born: Washington, Sunderland
Right Centre Back - Kyle Walker
Born: Sheffield
Centre Back - John Stones
Born: Barnsley
Left Centre Back - Harry Maguire
Born: Sheffield
Right Wing Back - Trent Alexander-Arnold
Born: West Derby, Liverpool
Left Wing Back - Kieran Trippier
Born: Bury
Right Centre Mid - Jordan Henderson
Born: Sunderland
Left Centre Mid - Phil Foden
Born: Stockport
Right Wing - Mason Greenwood
Born: Bradford
Left Wing - Marcus Rashford
Born: Manchester
Striker - Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Born: Sheffield
SUBS
Dean Henderson
Connor Coady
Aaron Cresswell
Ross Barkley
Curtis Jones
Dwight McNeil
Andy Carroll
RESERVES
Sam Johnstone
Michael Keane
Harvey Barnes
Adam Armstrong
Billy Sharp
Honourable Mentions
Jamie Vardy
James Milner
Both Vardy and Milner have retired from international duty, but maybe to play for Northumbria they could come out of retirement. If this was the case then both of these players will no doubt be in the 23 man squad for Northumbria.
