What does everyone think!?

[flammableBen]

Sven's gone fucking mental

[sonic youth]

he's sabotaging us.

[Luci]

No Ledley King/Wright Phillips...........?  :shock:

[Ben Wah Balls]

Goalkeepers, fine. Defence, spot on but could do with Ledley King too. Carrick is a better holding midfielder than Ledley though. Midfield, no need for Hargreaves really but good to see Lennon and Downing in there, not sure about not including Wright-Phillips.

Attack - All good selections, could probably do with one other striker though but I guess they'll be called up in place of Rooney.

[STFC Village]

Sven's lost it

[Batch]

WTF is Walcott doing in the squad? I can uunderstand SWP being left out, but not for someone with less experience/match time. Idiot.

Same as that.

Taking Walcott seems strange, and yet could prove to be genius.

[Ben Wah Balls]

Wright-Phillips has been left out for Lennon not Walcott which is fair enough because Lennon has had a much better season but I'd rather see Wright Phillips instead of Jenas or Hargreaves.

I'm pleased to see Walcott in there, always good to have an unknown quantity who could be a surprise success, much rather have him than Heskey or someone - looks like Reg's prediction may be a reality.

if i could change anything i would get rid of hargreaves in place of a striker! I think it is worth gambling on Theo Walcott

[sonic youth]

nice to see crouch in the squad, i can see him shocking a few defences as a sub.

walcott's a fucking mental decision but i can see what he's trying to do. look at the impact rooney had at euro2004, completely unknown quantity and he took the opposition by storm. if he's not fit, walcott just might be capable of performing at a similar level. i can't imagine paraguay knowing much about him, can you?

[Ben Wah Balls]

Surprised to see Andy Johnson on standby instead of Bent. Agree with Dan that a striker instead of Hargreaves would be good but I guess Sven is planning to gamble on Rooney and if he's not fit  enough to go then take Defoe.

[Rich Pullen]

Sven's gone fucking mental, Sven's gone fucking mental la-la-la-la
x10.

I'm going to the Hungary game, should be interesting.

He's either very stupid... or a genius.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

1. Praise the Lord the Heskey is not included

2. No Defoe????WTF???

3. I am amazed Walcott is in the squad.

4. I am very pleasantly surprised that Lennon is in there.

5. Sol Cambell is a liability.

Almost every World Cup a player makes a name for himself who no one has heard of so why not Lennon or Walcott?

Yeah,but Rooney at least had Prem experience
