ya with only 8 slots in the finals, and so much turnover on certain teams there are bound to be a few surprise teams missing

the German team that won in 2009 was led by Ozil, Neuer, and Khedira who are all first choice on the senior team. Thomas Muller wasn't even 'good enough' to make that side

England have 5 hold overs from the 09 final. Muamba, Gibbs, Richards, Mancienne, and Rodwell
