Due to be announced at 14:00 bst

This will be interesting to see who is picked....apparently Theo Walcott is being touted for a place in the squad.

Yeah i heard that as well, im gonna be in a lecture Gonna have to wap it up

Bit shocked at his choices but I think it is a huge gamble.

Keepers..

Robinson, James, Green

Defenders..

Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell, Terry, Cole, Carragher, Bridge

Midfield..

Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Cole, Hargreave, Carrick, Jenas, Lennon, Downing

Forwards

Rooney, Owen, Crouch, Walcott.


No king, defoe or SWP.

Think I got them all.

Bit short up front, but Aaron Lennn could in theory play up there are as could Joe Cole.

All in all I'm hapy with that squad, it shows vision imho.

train wreck of a squad.

how can you NOT take defoe when we are short 2 strikers to injury. Walcott has never even played for Arsenal!!

And no wright-philips! :/

I'm not happy with this tbh.

SWP has hardly played and seems to have lost all confidence when he does. Aaron Leenon is faster and is flyign atm, easy choice imho.

I'm not the biggest Defoe fan either but taking Walcott is a bit of gameble, but you need to remeber that being an unknown quantity to the oppostion can be handy.

Looking at a starting match line up of

Robinson

Neville Terry Rio Cole

Beckham Lamps Gerrard Cole

Owen Crouch

Or maybe 1 up front and bring carrick in to hold which would allow cole, lamps and gerrard to roam maybe?

isnt SWP that girl from sex in the city? how would she fit into this?

Sarah Jessica-Parker
Shaun Wright-Phillips

given the england squads history with spit roasts reo she would probaly fit somewhere in between Rio and Terry - Joe Cole on camera and Becks as a towel boy

Gutted i had the above post in my formation and it put it all to the side

owen hargreaves - I cant believe he still brings him along for the ride - even in the past when it seems midfield is falling apart he doesnt come off the bench -
the england goalie picks himself Robinson
As does the defence Neville Terry Ferdinand and Cole
Carrick becks gerrard lamps and Cole - Is a pretty tasty midfield - as for the strikers I think defoe should atleast be in the squad

Robinson

Nevs Terry Ferdy Cole

Carrick(dropped for rooney)
Becks Gerrard Cole

Lampard

Owen / Rooney

He should kick out Downing and Hargreaves and put SWP and Defoe in. My team would be :-

Robinson

Carragher Terry Ferdinand Cole

Carrick

Gerrard Lampard

SWP Cole

Owen

As been as my nice and neat spaced out formation didnt work, this is the chelsea formation, obviously rooney would be in but he isnt going to be fit.

HOW THE ****
can you bring Harvgreaves you is basically the shittest player ever on the current england team and not have defoe or SWP ****ing joke tbh.

4 Strikers - 2 of which are injured, one is shit, one is inexperienced. Sigh.

Good to see Michael Carrick making the side, along with Aaron Lennon. Taking Theo Wallcott is a gamble as everyone says, but the big stage of the world cup could bring out his talent.

Big big mistake not taking Shaun Wright-Phillips i think. He is an amazing player. I guess Sven realises that he doesn't play much for Chelsea.

Sven has admitted he's never watched Walcott play, adn that he doesnt expect to play him as a full 90min player.

So... we have 2 injured strikers, a sub and Crouch?

gg :/

theo walcott snippits of him in action - this is the only footage ive ever seen of him

he looks good from that, but thats only his best moments.

Remove Crouch, he's useless

see now i would have aggressive formation considering the players we have and the players who are injured & likely to be out...
