England World Cup Squad?

[Voice of Reason]

Owen and Beckham HAVE to go.

FFS - this is 2010 not 2006.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Think King's a good call, and one I reckon Capello will go with. He's perfectly capable of playing half the games at least - and you couldn't ask for a better back-up. As above, could well be the difference if Terry/Ferdinand get injured/suspended.

[BensGrandad]

On current form the best central defender in the Prem is Michael Dawson so I would take him instead of Upson or even Terry if Ashley Cole isnt fit and then ask Wayne Bridge to come in for Cole.

Green would be my third choice keeper. I personally think Robinson and James are better.

Agree. Unfortunately, the press did for Robinson and completely unjustly. Virtually ended his international career on the basis of one divot.

 

[Zamora For England]

Very little mention of Carlton Cole so far?

And there is a very good reason for that!

How unlike the press, You'd almost think they were acting against the England team...

It was Unreal

Every goal he let in for Spurs after that was some how his fault in the eyes of the Media.

Would be my Squad, Zamora has proved himself, I also rate Warnock above Baines.

How has Zamora proved himself?

 

[The Wizard]

And there is a very good reason for that!

Hasn't he scored 8 goals in like 14 prem apps this season? (Been injured)

[Mr Blobby]

Well anyone who has included Owen will have to rethink as confirmed today that he pulled a hamstring at the CC final and is out for the rest of the season. I think that ends any hope he had of getting in the squad - I dont think he had any chance before this anyway!

 

[perseus]

With that shagged out pony Terry in the back four, I am not sure I really care. I think I will support Uruguay!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

As Dawson had Zamora in his pocket for the third game this season does that mean he should go?
