Turnberry18 3,204 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hooper will be in it; they'll win it now. Alan Thomson can always give him advice when the players say "who are you?" in the hotel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sturridge's problem is that he is English; a proper footballer of the highest order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue11 13 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The squad is laughable, Defoe is a surprise but he deserves to be in there, he's scored 17 goals this season and hardly played! Carroll shouldn't be in there, hes had 120 minutes of good football this season compared to Crouch and Holt who have double figures at least for the season! Merson on SSN has just summed up that pick - "Carroll has had a good month, but the season started in August".If anyone can explain how Stuart Downing manages to get in that squad then please go ahead, he's awful, £20 million down the drain.Players picked on reputation rather than form, what a shambles.

alstone 374 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I seem to be the only one here who thinks caroll will come good!!! i would have him in the squad. Not convinced about wither wellbeck just yet but would have taken him over sturridge.I cant see any use for stewart downing, he is such a bland player and has been a flop for liverpool this season!!

GregTheAlgerian 1 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Pleased for John Ruddy, he's had a cracking season with Norwich. Would've had Richards in for G.Johnson (shame for Walker to miss through injury though), Lennon in for Walcott, A.Johnson in for Downing, and Holt in for Carroll. Would maybe also have had Crouch in for Gerrard. Not a fan of Sturridge though, too greedy in possession for my liking.Not that any of that matters, because I'll be following the Germans and the Dutch.

The Godfather 70,780 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 England's four strikers have scored 52 goals between them, whilst Huntelaar and Van Persie have 59 combined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOO72 4,332 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why is anyone surprised ? This is what England do and have being doing for years .They pick players on reputation far before ability and form . The only good thing to come out of this is that I know 100% that they will win fuck all with that squad . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If England are seriously planning for the future then Carroll should be going ahead of people like Crouch & Holt, who at this stage are veteran journeymen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Atheist 178 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Not the best England squad there's ever been but with everyone expecting us to get humped instead of demanding we go and win it..... we might actually do something, if you know what i mean?Dunno about Welbeck and Andy Carroll. I would have taken Crouch as the target man instead of Carroll and Darren Bent instead of Welbeck. (Bent will have just recovered from a bad injury but he's still a top player)I like the Rooney and Defoe partnership, though. I rate both players very highly. Quarter final and that will do. Anything else would be a bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
