    I don't think we stand a chance. There isn't a World class player in there. Giggs would have been a few years ago.

    Are Argentina bringing Messi?

    It would be amusing if Butland was called up to two summer tournaments and didn't play. Mainly as that wouldn't inflate his fee if we're still interested in him...

    was just going to say Spurfectionist...the likes of Argentina play their Messi's here....a perfect scenario to condition the under 21s of tomorrow in high tempo knock out scenarios...despite the prestige of the tournament..it is a great opportunity..and we see those teams that are big on the international stage taking it seriously for that reason alone and England being dismissive...there is something wrong with the thinking in our game.

    I was pleased when I saw there's no Walker but now I'm a bit worried that he's not fit, anyone know if he's currently injured?

    Some quality players in there though, Caulker, the Swansea boys, Richards and Ramsey could cause a few teams a few problems.

    Mainly because their squad doesn't have a goalkeeper!

    Uvini's chances of joining us just increased, then.
