I think lucy means this generation of football players. If so, then 16 years from now and most of them will be retired. Well the entire England squad would be

8 years from now most of they will be retired. (Gerrard, Lampard ect.)

But not all of them.

16 years is definite.

The younger players may still be around...the one's coming through now who are 17/18. But yeah it's a great opportunity. Not that we have a chance of winning it.

Yeah because being second doesn't give us a chance?

England never have a chance lmao

OT, COMS, Wembley, Emerites(SP), the Olympic stadium will be up by then, New Tottenham will likely be done in 8 years

That's 6 off the top of my head which will have met requirements and i'm sure one of the clubs in the midlands like Birmingham, AV or Wolves will meet them. You don't actually need that many stadiums if i remember the SA one.

Plus 16 years is a whole generation pretty much not just for footballers but for fans aswell in 8 years the england team will be looking very different (we may even be good) but i'm talking about the country as a whole.

Surely 80 years is a 'generation'

England will win the race to host 2018, mark my words.
