1 good season don`t make you a world beater, decent prem player but no world cup star.

I didn't say he was a world beater.We're talking bout 1 tournament tho. Surely you want your in-form players going into the tournament? Ppl are still selecting Carlton Cole, Heskey and Crouch (who arguably hasn't even had 1 good season), they're hardly world cup stars

Totally agree look at my squad people just pick the same old same old every time, this player`s not good enough he`s got no experiance, how the fuck do people think player gain experiance the squad has been the same for six years it will never change thats why we probably won`t win it

Personaly i wouldn`t take Crouch he`s not good enough at that level, yes yes his goals record, they mostly come against shit teams when he`s come on as a sub and the oppo is fading. Wouldn`t take John Terry either tackling your best/team mates crumpit just shows what sort of man he is, you don`t want that kind of character standing at 8yds against the Krauts, also think Dawson has earned his chance maybe in place of Rio.

England shouldn`t be playing 4-4-2 either, if they want Lamps & Gerrard in the same team and playing well they should play 4-3-3.

Robinson
Johnson Terry Dawson A. Cole
Lampard P. Nevill Gerrard
Millner Rooney J. Cole

I agree that Zamora has been a revelation this season, and he probably deserves a place in the side. I think Capello already knows which players he likes so we'll see.

I just can't for the life of me figure out why he keeps insisting on using Emile Heskey. The guy has done nothing this season, yes yes yes we all know about how he's been involved in the England squads as a fringe player for so long and every manager seems to like him, but its a bit contradictory if he ends up going on the plane ahead of several others who are in both better form and have been playing more regularly.

For me, Zamora, Bent and Walcott are all ahead of Heskey in terms of form and appearances. We know that Rooney automatically goes and so probably does Defoe and Crouch, so its about selecting two or three others to make up the forwards.

One things for sure, if Rooney's not fit, we may as well kiss the finals goodbye now. I still can't see us getting past the quarter finals anyway.

No of course not, because having sex with somebodies ex means he won't be able to kick a ball straight from 8 yards. Then again knowing England, we're so bad at pens I doubt Terry will get a chance to take a spotkick anyway. I take it you wouldn't have taken Maradona or Pele either. What does someone's footballing ability have to do with their character off the pitch?

my squad

Scholes retired fron international duty before Theo Walcott was born.

Lampard, Gerrard either side of him that would mean Scholes playing def/mid have you seen him tackle he`s beem sent off about 8 times.... Not good ginge not good.
