Now the Premier League is finished, attention turns to the World Cup (as well as the FA Cup final!) Which 23 players do you think we should take to Brazil? And what do people make of our chances? Hart Foster Forster Johnson Baines Cahill Jagielka Jones Shaw Cole Sterling Lallana Henderson Gerrard Barry Barkley Wilshere Oxlade-Chamberlain Milner Sturridge Rooney Welbeck Lambert
Apparently Ashley Cole has been told that he's not in the squad and he's rejected the chance to be on standby.
"Ashley Cole @TheRealAC3 I got the call from Roy and agree England team should be about the young players. I think it best I retire from England team now. ����" "Ashley Cole @TheRealAC3 We have a great manager and team and I wish them only success. I will be supporting them like a true fan. Thanks to everyone for everything" Big loss for England in my opinion.
international footballs always been a let down , not really bothered enough anymore . hope we win it obviously , but i won't be crying for Rooney , Gerrard and Hart . the old guard is slowly dissolving but maybe the Euros , we will have a team with balls
I think most people slate England because qualifying is so boring & long drawn out, but when the actual tournament kicks off, most people get drawn into the whole thing, even those that say they don't care, they're like meerkats just in case!
All the rumours are that he is taking the young, inexperienced but potential filled bright young things. Plus Gerrard and Lampard. I'm no big fan of Woy. He shouldn't be England manager but he is. He now needs to back his own bollocks. Play these young guns in expansive, attacking football and go out honourably but fighting in the one of the knockout rounds.
I probably wouldn't take a third of the players that Roy will. I'd be bringing in a whole new generation that could play together for the next few tournaments. Glen Johnson's cack. Glad that Roy's seen sense and left Cole out. I was expecting Lampard, Gerrard, Cole, Milner, Scholes, Beckham...
He needs to try something different, we haven't been successful in a quite a while. Sticking with the formula that has failed us so many times over the years would make him a bigger idiot than trying the kids. I think we're trying to replicate Germany of a few years ago.
He's been brought in to negate the inexperience. Having all the young players with no older players would be suicide.
"Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews Sky Sources: Tottenham's Kyle Walker has been told he hasn't been selected for England World Cup Squad. #SSN" ****, does this mean we have Glen Johnson and Phil Jones for rb?
