please log in to view this image Costa Rica v England please log in to view this image Puttiing this up a day early as I'm sure there will be loads of debate about the possible team and most importantly will Luke, Adam and Rickie get the starts they deserve?
Is the "injury" to Baines, because he was **** in the first two games? I land in Berlin an hour before ko and by the time I get through customs, etc I'll have to decide whether to watch in the airport, go straight to a bar or straight to my hotel to watch it!
Will Steven Gerrard start, or will Roy have the balls to drop him? Personally I respect the genuine anguish Gerrard appears to feel, and if I was the manager I wouldn't relish having to tell him his international career is over. I suspect he already knows it however. Anyway; ...............Hart Johnson Jagielka Cahill Shaw .......Barkley Henderson Sturridge Rooney Lallana .............Lambert
Lambert said that the WC has been the best of times, but also the worst. Says he's never felt worse than after the Uruguay game . Hope he gets some game time tomorrow and finishes on a high.
Oh Rickie! I was expecting this to be his last international hurrah, but I hope he gets the opportunity to help us qualify in the next two years even if it is too late for him to play in the Euros.
ENGLAND: Foster; Jones, Smalling, Cahill, Shaw; Lampard, Milner; Barkley, Wilshere, Lallana; Sturridge.
