The World Cup count down, come on England!

Here's who i'd play

Hart

Johnson Ferdinand King Cashley

Parker Huddlestone

Lennon Gerrard Lampard

Rooney

However for some reason, England are reluctant to go with the times and play a 4-2-3-1/4-5-1/4-3-3 formation.

Capello's team will be

James

Johnson Ferdinand Terry Cole

Walcott Gerrard Lampard Carrick/Barry

Heskey Rooney.

P.s i'd have that disgraceful Carragher nowhere near the squad ever again. He chose to shun the honour of putting on the England shirt, all because he's too much of a diva to be a bit part squad member.

SHUN THE HONOUR?? Don`t think so matey boy Carra`s whole point was that he was never given the chance to play centre half and there for chose to spend time with his family instead, the same as Stephen Warnock sayin the is not botherd about his European Cup winners medal as he had hardly played a game.

Before all you Mancs `n` Chelsea start bitchin don`t forget... like Rio did with his drugs test (fair point i`d say).
Then there`s JT good footballer but the man him self rattling the missus of not only one of his best mates but also one of his (then) England team mates, lets not forget selling access to the Chelsea training ground to fuck knows who? reliability people reliability, footballer yes person

More to the point Hargreaves COME THE FUCK ON yes he`s a good Def/Mid but he`s been out for about 18 months, every fuckin England Manager is the same with the same old same old players whether they deserve it or not they will be in the team, what about players that perform consistently on a high level like Scott Parker, Danny Murphy & Phil Neville????

The Capello Index £30-£200 not just the price but the concept it`s self, Ciao Bel...End

Ur 1st line only proves he shunned the honour. Just cos he wasn't playing he has a diva strop n says no thanks? I always thought it was an honour to play for your country.
How can u compare Warnock's situation with Carragher's??? i no liverpoooooooooll have had a bad season but surely ur not that deluded?!laugh!It's nothing more than irrelevant rant

U sound like a very very very bitter scouser.
I'm a Utd fan and don';t think Scholes should have ever been allowed back either if the scenario arised.

Well the team is picked, and its quite good too,
I don't think Heskey or Wright-Phillips should of been picked.
Now the question is which seven will be dropped??

I would of liked to of seen Hargreaves picked. Yes he isn't match fit we all no that but think he would of got into his stride with a few intense training sessions. Am just praying he names Joe Cole in the final squad something tells me he wont but Joe is up there with one of our best players that could devastate a defence on his day. Am not a lover of Fabio but if he brings us the world Cup then we will all love him lol.

World Cup Fever - The Symptoms

1. Completely unjustified optimism that this time your team will win the WC despite years of experience.

2. Increasing and eventually demented interest in the selection and formation of your national team.

3. Sudden and inexplicable disability to hold conversation on anthing other than WC.

4. Wall charts with fixtures of games. Particularly prevalent amongst the young. A need to buy coloured pens to fill in said wall charts.

5. For the working person a preponderonce to fail to attend the workplace without good reason.

6. For the married man a seemingly strange and unheard of discussion on the subject of separate holidays. Things likely to be said by the sufferer, 'I've always thought, luv, that it would be a good idea if you went on holiday this year with your girlfriends. No, I'll just stay at home and potter about in the garden. Middle two weeks of June, Ok.'

7. Illogical fascination with the latest brand of TV on the market. Something the sufferer hasn't thought about in four years.

8. Sharp uptake in the consumption of crisps, pizzas, takeaways and alcohol. Sharp decrease in exercise.

9. Babbling on about how so and so from North Korea, Algeria, Australia is going to be the star of WC without ever having seen them play.

10. Dejection, remorse, madness.

You forgot one...

11. After the inevitable and crushing disappointment of one's own country exiting early, the sudden feeling of solidarity with a randomly selected nation who play attractive football (Hello Brazil, Spain and Netherlands), or have really sexy and/or scantily clad female fans (Hello again, Brazil, Spain and Netherlands, as well as Portugal and teams from Scandinavia). In extreme circumstances, underdog syndrome will kick in, leading you to cheer wildly for someone like Turkey, Iran or South Korea.

Turkey & Iran aren`t in it, i like my dog & i`m not eating it`s testicles so that counts out South Korea!.... ... Viva Mexico

Lets get behind the lads, lets give it our all, and lets hope that the "golden generation" can finally deliver on the world stage. These are world class players (thats what we keep being told) so its time for the talking to stop and the action to begin.

Come on lads, overcome that "quarter final hurdle" that has proved so difficult in recent times.

Well, it's started. God I hate those vuvuzelas.
