Arsenal and England legend Tony Adams is critical of Southampton fullback Luke Shaw's World Cup selection. Adams said he disagreed with Roy Hodgson's decision to pick the 18-year-old left-back ahead of Chelsea icon Ashley Cole for the tournament in Brazil.
Adams told the Daily Echo: "I was all in favour of Ashley Cole, it must be said. I thought it was a mistake not to take our most experienced left-back.
"If you're taking that decision with Ashley, why not take all kids.
"I think Luke might get some minutes. I think he can play one up in midfield as well.
"He's a big talent for the future, and I think that's what this is - it's a move for the future.
"But I would put him ahead of Leighton Baines if you're taking that decision.
"No European team has ever won the World Cup in South America and, if we're working towards Russia in 2018, then let's play him."
