wtf. Is Sven taking the pi$$ ?

Shoddy shoddy selection

[Adam]

Wtf, Lennon and Walcot over Defoe and Wright Phillips,

picking Owen and Rooney will probably turn out to be a waste, as they will probably hardly play a game.

He should be picking Robbie Fowler over Crouch too :D

[wisewood]

Exactly my point. Beckham also shouldnt be going - but he was never at risk anyway was he.

Rooney is worth including in the squad just in case they do make it to the semi finals becuase if he does get fit, he raises the quality of the team by such a long way... but to take a chance on a couple of kids is just stupidity.

Sven's decided he might as well just take his money and run back to some obscure eurpoean team nobody cares about .

[timmcf]

holy fcuk they win nothing with that squad
Svens gonna get a beating!!!

[walton_lad]

Yeh But what does Sven care, The FA have already given him the boot!

[treeted]

exactly sooner england are out the sooner Sven is on his jollys with Ulrika! Lennon should go as he is playing well Defoe bent or fowler have all played international level were as Walcott hasn't even played in the premiership. don't get me wrong hes got great potential but if hes not good enough yet to even make a sub appearance for ****nal he shouldn't be on the plane. And is it just me or has anyone else noted that real have been sh1t since beckham went there? No point in taking 2 cripples in Owen and Rooney either give 1 or the other a chance cant afford to take both though. Oh well just jealous no-one is paying me ?3mil a year to make a laughing stock of england really.

[NickWalliams]

He gets ?5million a year

hes one of the worst managers ever in my humble opinion, whos going to score the goals to get them through the group stages never mind the semi final!?

two strikers are not fit, owen isnt all that anymore anyway!

then hes got walcott and crouch, walcott although a big talent way too young and inexperienced to make any real impact.

Darren bent should of been picked as he is a proven striker in the premier league

The FA are to blame really erikson should of gone along time ago!

[Dave]

with the selection he's made there's a slim chance we will do well but no way win it, there is big strength in midfield and some in defence but without the strikers to finish off the games we'll be sitting ducks for draws all the time.

there is a few players who are english an have striking tallent and who are consistant scorers and fit but will they get the chance?? the whole plan is relying on if rooney does become fit, there is a chance of pulling a decent result off if he does but how long will he be out for and will there be any further injury if he comes back too early, plus with the cast on his leg he's not mobile enough to train so it's a risk taking him same with owen,
best off to cut one of them out of the team and make way for another fit striker

but who knows were english so have no right to pick the england team!

[Adam]

Lol.

He should have left the youngsters out, they have to next few World Cups to go to.

Dont wright off Joe Cole, ill put a fiver on him being the hero at the end of the tournament regardless of how well we do.

And no, that doesnt mean ill owe you all a fiver, ill split it between you
