Hargreaves - Pfffft, Sven must be nobbing his sister.
At least the defence and midfield apart from Hargreaves looks good,
best start practising penalties and get ready for some no score bores

i think its a good squad walcotts a amazing player. wenger wouldnt have bought him if he wernt look at his last teenager now (fabregas)
as for hargreeves hes never done anything wrong you need a utility player like him in the squad.
the only player that concerns me is calmitity james

Personally i agree with the squad i think that lennon over wright-phillips is an amazing decision which i didnt think he would go for and also teh walcott decison isgood because none of the coutries willl know much about him sohe could spring a few suprises

Gutted that Darren Bent isnt in the Squad as he is well on form at the minute
TBH i say fair play about Walcot
He has played a fair bit at England U21 level and people outside this country wont really know much about him
He caould be a very very good call up
Croutch-- Fair play, if you watch him at the minute he is playing very good football
All in all, I think we will do pretty well, and imho Rooney will be back for the Sweden game

Hang on, they gave rooney a chance at a similar age, why not walcott? rooney caused everybody so many problems because other teams didnt expect him to be that good, maybe he's taken a similar gamble with walcott, I reckon its a good decision. think about it, its one all with ten minutes left and we dont seem to be getting anywhere, throw him on as a 3rd striker in a free role, theres every chance he could blitz through 2 defenders and get quick goal or even set one up. make perfect sense to me.
Dan mate you're smokin crack with them 4 forward swaps, we'll deffo be coming home if he picked them. fowler! sheringham! johnson!
and isnt smith still crocked with a broken leg? he'll be handy then
Ledley king is crocked and like the man said, we have enough world class cover in his position to risk taking another injured player = good decision.
Hargreaves, bad choice, he's above average at the best of times which isnt very often, swap him for jenas.
Dont forget joe cole can play up front, and I reckon with the form he's been in of late, if we needed him up front he could cause some serious problems, he could turn out to be the star of the tournament if things go his way
You can winge and moan about taking rooney and owen, but face it theres nobody proven at that level to take in place of either of them, all the others mentioned are'nt in the same league, he's made the right decision yet again regarding them pair, owens more or less fit anyway, rooney is the only real doubt, and hopefully he can recover enough for the later stages WHEN we get that far
Just an idea but IMO we should take Stuart Pearce as a morale booster/pep talker, how many times have we seen sven not show enough emotion when things are looking dicey? we NEED phsyco in the dressing room, not managing but reminding them what they are playing for
Also drop beckham as captain and give to some one with some balls, Terry would be my first choice closely followed by gerrard, beckhams not a natural leader.

Let him fucking loose thats what I say
I'm always behind them, I think he's chosen wisely and except for hargreaves I cant fault him
How long till people manage to crawl into work if we win it
I reckon on at least the wednesday I for one wont be in on the monday if we win it, and will probably need tuesday to recover!

I think it is a good team,
How many times has the Swede bowed down to the media, lets face it if it wasnt for the tabloids he would still be here, and he has a good competative record,
The fucking media in this country ruin everything,
Lets get behind the team and hope they do well

Were taking only 2 fit strikers as it stands now in crouch and Walcott, so what happens if 1 of them goes down, 1 striker with Cole to drop in behind.
Even if he didnt pick Defoe as a 5th striker how about Harewood/Beattie/Davies/Johnson as a secondary target man who throws themselves about to upset defenders incase Crouch goes down.
From the squad he has picked you can virtually pick out his 1st 11 from there, but try and pick a near equally good side if injuries happen 1 at a time in each position, come the front 2 youll be stuck.

Crouch is fucking good. Should be crouch and rooney up front. Two big powerful players. Or crouch to hold the ball up and put though wallcott with his lightening pace.
Hargreaves is bollocks...always have been.
Sven needs to get his tounge out of some of the players arses seriously.

walcotts gonna be a player for the last 15-20 minutes of a game, his pace will upset a lot of defenders and he has got no fear, he's too young to care what everyone else is thinking.
crouch will be englands weapon this year, hargreaves dont deserve to play conference football nevermind internationals
defoe shouldnt have bbeen picked and aron lennon was a great choice ahead of wright phillips who will now leave chelsea after this rejection.
maybe would have took bent but he's not really my kind of player.
cant wait to see downing on the left wing for england, he's in great form at the mo.
and hope he plays carragher instead of ferdinand as him and terry are the best centre backs in the country at the mo.
i think with or without rooney england have got as good a chance as any other country COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
