This is the ENGLAND SQUAD

tbh why would u want to avoid spain, holland, germany, france, brazil, argentina and portugal? to be world champions u have to beat the best in the world so no point in saying we need to avoid these teams... we should be saying we want to play these so we can knock them out and gain confidence!!!

Heskey's goals per season average is 9.6 (club matches only).

it was a joke, what are the chances of avoiding those teams? pretty slim i would of thought. it was my way of saying we have little chance of winning the world cup

Portugal and brazil are in the same group don’t forget and it also includes the ivory coast who could very well take Portugal down in the first game.

If we win our group then our second round game will be against the runner up from germany, Australia, Serbia and Ghana. Our quarter final would then be against whoever comes out of the game between the winners of the france, mexico, Uruguay, south Africa group and the runners up from the argentina, south korea, Greece, Nigeria group. We can only play Brazil, Holland, spain, italy or Portugal in the semi-finals.

Avoid half the tournament, well i guess that`s one way to win... or maybe just not go at all.

How come everyone thinks Walcott should go he`s pretty useless, he`d probably beat Usain Bolt in a 100m sprint... yeah and thats about it his game is about one full season in the Arsenal team away from being decent? plus he`s too similar to Aaron Lennon & Lennon only has to improve his final ball.
No one can disagree that Adam Johnson has shown he`s gonna be quality, everyone seemed to want Giggs to be English well now we`ve got someone similar & three times as good as Walcott.

As for Crouch he`s pretty pants, (calm down chaps) his movement is shit he`s got no pace & he can`t head a ball with any power, the only reason he`s got the goals record he has is most of them come against shit teams or when the opponent`s are fading away in the last 20 minutes ie Egypt. Yeah i know thats why we should take him but i still don`t think he should go.
Heskey is a good partner for Rooney he will stay up top when Rooney goes lookin for the ball Crouch would drop back and not able to get to the edge of the box before the defence. As for Bent come on one England manager has to give him the chance, Charlton, Tottenham, Sunderland that`s 3 differant clubs & he`s smashed goals in at every one.
Simple fact is boys all England manager`s are all the same we`ll play 4-4-2 Gerrard will be on the left Cole maybe Millner (a change a change) will be on the right Lampard in the centre with Carrick, or Cole Gerrard Lampard Millner if this is the case then we`re fucked.

Manager Mitchell
Team
James
Johnson Carragher/Dawson terry A. Cole
Gerrard Parker Lampard
Millner Rooney J. Cole

If Rio is not fit i can`t see it??

Portugal are one player away from being shit nowadays France & Italy are wank Germany will do as they always do, two teams who should do well are the US and Mexico the USA have improved every year since France 98 and Mexico are goin well since Javier Aguirre has taken over.

That was meant to be tongue in cheek but cheers anyway

Tongue in cheek.. It obviously weren`t meant to be ball in goal then.

England`s good old World Cup friend the Metatarsal strikes again, John Terry has possibly broken his in training with Chelsea
