Hmm if Lallana and Barkley make the World Cup squad, I stand to win £1,500...
I have a fair good chance, right?
Anyways, I basically agree with all your comments above.
And sure, we could swap Smalling for Davies and Cleverly for Thud... But we're still ****e
The England squad has been a joke for years. We constantly pick names, rather than how players are actually doing, and this is what frustrates.
Ashley Cole still gets in... How? Has he even played this year? Plus we have Baines and Shaw, so we already have 2 left-backs. Why do we need 3? What a waste of a spot. It's a friendly!
And that's just the start... Lampard still there, why!?
Milner hardly playing for his club.
Townsend... A) He's had one game since coming back from injury, B) He's ****e anyway...
Defoe... Why bother? By the time the World Cup rolls around, he'd have had 3 months of playing in the mighty MLS.
Welbeck... Really? Again, A) He's not even playing for his club, B) He's ****e anyway...
Seeing the England squad is just so uninspiring.
And while we have so many foreign owners in the Premier League, so many foreign managers who couldn't give a stuff about English football, and no rules on homegrown players, nothing will ever change...
For example, Man City vs Barcelona in the Champions League:
Man City fielded 1 English player in their starting 11 (and that was Joe Hart)
Barcelona fielded 7 Spanish
And we wonder why Spain are light-years ahead of us in footballing terms?
