I care, because I want to see if we can somehow dredge up a performance that ends with a win
Totally agree.
Smalling is neither a good centre back or right back.
It would be good to see Hodgson make a few more changes and give the youngsters another 90 minutes - but it does concern me that Costa Rica might just fancy their chances even more if we put out Smalling, Jones, Lampard and Milner, who would all get outsprinted by a brick. Their selections would smack more of giving the rest of the squad a game. Ok its probably Lampard's last game but IMHO sentimentality should not enter into it). It would really worry me to see England's future built around Smalling and Jones.
Looking beyond the World Cup to the next friendlies and the Euros, we need to see a side something like this get a few games together:
Foster or Forster
Shaw
Cahill
Stones
Flanagan
Oxlade-Chamberlain or Lallana
Wilshere
Barkley
Stirling
Sturridge
Walcott
You also then

Sorry didnt realize that was the team the buffoon Hodgson has picked, thought the OP was asking for suggestions of what it should be.
