Darren Bent FFS :icon_roll

 

[Hazzman]

How the **** does Wright-Phillips get in there?

I just hope Zamora reckons an operation rather than it being a selection problem.

 

[Tamworth Fox]

I'm suprised SWP is picked over Downing and Ashley Young.

 

[Willlow]

This has made Sky Sports News look a bit stupid, they made a big song and dance this morning about how shocking it was that Owen hargreaves was going to get picked for the squad.

 

[Willlow]

Bobby for England ! Bobby For England ! .... O wait

Zamora is injured, think he might make it back for the UEFA final but doubt he would play the whole game. Also apparently Barry is going to miss out on the world cup as well with an injury

 

[Willlow]

From looking at this squad how are we third favourite?

 

[lcfc lad]

only 1 right back and 3 left backs?! swp is a reserve team player at man city too. some strange decisions

Carragher can play right back, and looks pretty certain to be on the plane to me, if not in the starting eleven

Better him than that bastard Gary Neville

 

[lcfc lad]

its not his strongest position tho and johnson has hardly been fit all season so there is the strong possibility that we're going to have carragher playing out of position for the world cup. he's so slow, didnt play in any qualifiers and hasnt been very good this season. worrying.

 

[manxfox]

Fabio's obviously heard I wont be fit till next season, that or he couldnt find my number

 

[Tamworth Fox]

Can't believe Giggs hasn't been picked; whats he got to do to get a call up?!

 

[Blue Maniac]

Yeah. And Torres.

From looking at this squad how are we third favourite?

We're only third favourites in this country. Put a bet on in Argentina and we'll probably be about 10th favourite.

Good point :icon_bigg

Apparently rumour has it that Capello tried to convince Scholes to come out of international retirement :icon_eek:

Not rumour, Capello has said himself he tried.

Which I don't really understand! But oh well

Is Micah Richards injured? Would rather have him there than Carragher

I'd expect these to go:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green

Defenders: Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock

Forwards: Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney

Swap Aaron Lennon in for Adam Johnson, and I agree.

I'd like Bent to go personally.... prefer him to be than Cole, Zamora or the others being mentioned, so I'm glad... but he won't take 5 strikers I'm guessing, so Bent will miss out
