If a players fitness is guranteed that he won't play then why the hell pick him? I can understand the selection of those with question marks but what is Mclaren doing, especially recalling Sol Campbell (although I'll prob get slated I just don't rate him). Title: England Squad V Germany Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, August 17, 2007, 15:16:38 Thats what I thought why pick a squad that contains 6 players who are not 100% fit. Unless it is to get team-bonding before the qualifiers.
For anybody who cares here is our squad for the match: Hildebrand, Lehmann Freidrich,Lahm, Mertesacker,Metzelder,Pander,Tasci Hilbert,Hitzlsperger,Khedira,Rolfes,Schneider,Schweinsteiger,Trochowski Helmes,Kießling,Klose,Kuranyi Title: Re: England Squad V Germany Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, August 17, 2007, 15:17:05 Quote from: "STFCLady" http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6949122.stm If a players fitness is guranteed that he won't play then why the hell pick him? I can understand the selection of those with question marks but what is Mclaren doing, especially recalling Sol Campbell (although I'll prob get slated I just don't rate him). Think Sol is back, because of a shortage of available central defenders. An interesting stat I heard is that of the 200 odd players starting Prem games at the weekend 70 odd were English. Which means a squad of 20 odd is about 30% of players....so not a great choice...which is probably why Keiron Dyer gets the nod.

Title: England Squad V Germany Post by: Gelbfüßler on Friday, August 17, 2007, 16:09:13 We surely can't lose to a team managed by Joachim Löw.
Not with an MLS player in our team anyway 8) I hope we can at least create some decent chances, something we haven't done for a long time. Title: England Squad V Germany Post by: DV on Friday, August 17, 2007, 16:16:48 Sol Campbell shouldnt have been dropped from the England squads to start with....he is still a class act at his age.
However I do look at that squad and think its a bit shit.....how many serious world class players are there? Fuck knows why anyone expects us to win anything, the quality is that squad is awful. Look at the keepers we've got Robinson, Carson and James - none of whom are any good. James has been on good form, last year but I think part of that was because he wasnt an England goal keeper anymore Wes Brown, Phil Neville and Nicky Shorey!? Kieron Dyer ffs!! Then the strikers, bloody hell Owen, Smith, Bent, Defoe, Crouch and Johnson - not alot of goals in that at all is there. I know they didnt all cut it at international level but Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Ian Wright and Alan Shearer all used to hit 20 goals a season!! Title: England Squad V Germany Post by: flammableBen on Friday, August 17, 2007, 16:20:36 The feeling for the England team seems to have fallen through apathy now and into an active dislike. I might buy a Germany shirt for this game.
Title: England Squad V Germany Post by: strooood on Friday, August 17, 2007, 16:46:59 should have given derbyshire a go, that kid is fucking quality, would've given everything aswell- not like that lot, who will probably mince around moaning at the midfield.

Joachim Löw comes from Baden = hero Joachim Löw took Karlsruher SC down to the regional league in his one and only season as manager there (1999/2000) = utter villain Joachim Löw recalled Kevin Kuranyi = idiot Joachim Kätzchen would be a better name for him.

They join Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell on the sidelines. Liverpool skipper Gerrard will rest his broken toe, while Manchester United's Hargreaves is still feeling pain from his knee injury. David Beckham is hopeful of featuring at Wembley, despite reporting some swelling in his troublesome ankle after playing for LA Galaxy on Saturday. More to follow.
