we can also discuss the actual team announced aswell. as apparently ox-chamberlain has been included.
Admittedly not happy with most of the squad but can live with it. The two horrible calls by hodgson are downing and johnson over lennon and richards. Awful start by hodgson there
England squad for Euro 2012:
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), Rob Green (West Ham), John Ruddy (Norwich)
Defenders: Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Man United), John Terry (Chelsea), Joleon Lescott (Man City), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton)
Midfielders: Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Gareth Barry (Man City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Scott Parker (Tottenham), Ashley Young (Man United), James Milner (Man City)
Forwards: Wayne Rooney (Man United), Danny Welbeck (Man United), Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham)
Standby players: Jack Butland (Birmingham City), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea).
I'm not surprised Terry is in the squad, a little disappointed (as I think Cahill is a better replacement and Jagielka deserved a call up) but not surprised. It's a shame Holt isn't even on the standby list after the season he's had and Oxlade-Chamberlain making the squad is a bit of a risk in my opinion, but Milner named in the squad leaving no place for Carrick? Milner is nothing more than a headless chicken in the middle of the park, and very average out wide so I really don't understand that one.

Shocking squad.
Terry
Gerrard
Lampard
Downing
Milner
What the actual ****? All have been rubbish beyond any acceptable level this season. Its as if none of them actually played a game........and then....
Andy ****ing Carroll.
Dear oh ****ing dear,.
Will not be watching England again. See no reason to blindly follow anything regardless of if they are my country.
Terry

**** england once again. Thought I might be able to start following england again but I refuse to follow anything that makes me feel ashamed.
I worry about Ashley Young, Wellbeck and their reputations going into Euro 2012. Refs will be watching out for them
Roy went for experience......Experience in failing.
None of them have any experience. Gary and Phil neville have experience of going somewhere with England so why not pull Gary out of retirement and have him and phil in the team. Sir Bobby Chaltons won the world cup so hes got bags of experience. Why wasnt he called up.
Scholes, hes played in euro semi finals.......gerrard, terry, lampard......these **** ****s havent even played an england game beyond the 1/4 finals, any **** team can get to the 1/4 finals for **** sake.
They will watch out for Young, there's no doubt about that, Welbeck ain't a diver.
