However, this article looks at the Englishman who can genuinely feel hard done by not to being included in the squad for the upcoming games against Montenegro and Poland. If all five keep up their good early season form, a place in the final 23 should the Three Lions get to Brazil, will certainly be within their reach.
1. Adam Lallana
Saints captain Lallana has been in incredible form in the opening seven games of the season. Southampton are currently 4th in the Premier League table and have only lost once all season.
The 25-year old is the south coast club's attacking lynch-pin and through him comes most of their forward threat, linking from the other midfielders to strikers Ricky Lambert (who is in the squad) and new signing Pablo Osvaldo. Adam would add much needed skill on the wing to the current England squad with Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missing injured and he can also play centrally.
Lallana does already have one England appearance, coming on as a substitute over a year ago against Ukraine, and he hopes to add to that claiming it "an ambition" and looking to "emulate" good friend Lambert.

2. Tom Huddlestone
Huddlestone has thrived since his £5m summer move to Premier League new boys Hull City. One of the most accomplished passers in the Premier League, Huddlestone has excelled in being a key man in Steve Bruce's side.
England currently have a serious problem with their ability to maintain possession, and Huddlestone screams out as one of the obvious candidates for the role alongside Michael Carrick. However, with a few more performances of the quality Huddlestone is currently providing, and Hull's long wait for a current England international will surely be ended.

3. Nathan Dyer
A dependable, solid performer in Swansea's rise in stature and position, it is almost inconceivable that wideman Dyer has yet to be even handed a call up for the national team, never mind an appearance in the white.
England do have a problem on the flanks, Theo Walcott is consistently inconsistent and struggles to perform at Wembley. Danny Welbeck is played out of position on the left. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is new on the international scene. Adam Johnson has dropped out of favour. Andros Townsend is new to top flight football let alone the International scene and James Milner provides little attacking threat. One just wonders what Dyer has to do to make the side.

4. Ravel Morrison
England need to be looking to the future with the ageing duo of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard coming to the end of their international careers. That future could well be the 'Ravel Morrison Show'.
Seemingly now with his troubled lifestyle behind him, Morrison has exploded onto the scene at West Ham. Sam Allardyce has done something Sir Alex Ferguson could not in taming the young Mancunian and getting his head set purely on football. The 20-year old's goal against Tottenham last weekend showed his absolute class and potential. Weaving through the Spurs' midfield and defence, Morisson used both his feet to bamboozle defenders, something a lot of English players cannot do.

5. Matt Jones
Hands up if you know who this man is? If you put your hand up then stop lying. Jones is a goalkeeper in the top flight of Portuguese football with Belenenses.
The former West Brom youth player went to America to become a student-athlete before being put in touch with a coach in Portugal who liked what he saw from the Stoke-on-Trent native. Now, currently spending his time keeping top class strikers like Jackson Martinez and Oscar Cardozo at bay, Jones is putting in some classy performances in Liga Sagres and a scout definitely needs to be sent his way if Joe Hart's poor form carries on.
