    Looks like a 4-3-3

    Shame we didn't back up Gerrard with two midfielders..oh well

    I expect it'll be the same formation. Lampard and Wilshere in midfield with Milner (right), Barkley (centre) and Lallana (left) ahead of them.

    I say Roy's gone ultra modern and plumped for 5-3-2. Milner RWB, Shaw LWB.

    Genuinely hope so. But doubt it.

    We have not seen too many examples of a back three going wrong this world cup, but I trust Jones, Smalling & Cahill to do the honours

    What, the team it should probably have been in the first place?

    Well if we thought Cahill had enough to do in come Smalling and Jones to make it even more.

    Are they going to swap keepers at half time?

    I bet El Ticos cannot believe their luck looking at the back five, possibly the worst ever.

    Swap Shaw for Cole and Terry for Jagielka, then yes.

    Luke takes time out from sexting Playboy bunnies to attend and Adam will pull himself away from the phone to Brendan Rodgers to celebrate our last game in this amazing World Cup...


    Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw will make history tomorrow night after Roy Hodgson confirmed the Saints duo will both start against Costa Rica.

    They will become the first Saints teammates ever to start for England at the same time at a World Cup.

    England have already been eliminated from the tournament after defeats to Italy and Uruguay and round off their time in Brazil with a game against Costa Rica.

    Hodgson has taken the unusual step of naming his team a day before the match.

    Lallana has appeared as a second half sub in both of England’s games but has not had a World Cup start while for 18-year-old Shaw it will be his first game time of the tournament having been understudy to Leighton Baines.

    England team: Ben Foster, Phil Jones, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw, James Milner, Frank Lampard, Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana, Daniel Sturridge.

    [h=2][/h]Shaw and Lallana both start against Costa Rica

    In response to the announcement - about bloody time..!

    And please Roy, don't leave bringing on Rickie until the last 5 minutes. Give him an entire half, or a half-hour at the very least. I think Roy occasionally forgets that he is practically the most potent goalscorer in the squad. He can get a goal from almost nothing.
