No phil neville!! woohoo!!
I bet defoe is well pissed off. He should be going instead of Hargreaves or someone, we won't need that many midfielders. Bent should be on standby ahead of johnson.

I think that squad is spot on - fuck listening to the media etc he knows what hes doing, you watch! What do you mean-it's the media that got Downing and Lennon selected.Eriksson never did that off his own back! |

When you look at the bare bones,the squad is weak.Ferdinand is a liability at international level,Campbell's shot,mentally and physically,Cole is a risk and Bridge has been out on loan practically all season.Beckham will undoubtedly his usual tournament-self,i.e completely anonymous,Hargreaves is a waste of space and Jenas not good enough.Rooney wont play,Owen will be fragile even if he does play and if the keeper gets injured we're fucked.Cant expectLampard,Terry and Gerrard to carry the whole team.Only bright spot for me is Carrick but he wont play unless Beckham gets dropped,i.e. never. The squad suggests a 4-5-1 with Carrick playing. Why else would you take 9 midfielders with one of your strikers being an attacking midfielder as well? |

Becks is amazing, he carries the team at times. Wright-Phillips isn't going because he's very similar to Lennon and because he's played fuck all football this season.

The problem with Beckham is that he is a one trick pony. His major attribute is his ability to plant a cross on the head of an attacker. If you watched the Madrid v Villareal game from yesterday, he set up two goals with pinpoint crosses, plus numerous other chances that were missed.
However, he has no pace (he never has), and he can't track back and support the full back. Even his set piece play could be covered by others (Lampard, Gerrard).
I don't think he should be captain, and never have, because he just doesn't have the right qualities. Much rather see Gerrard or Terry act in this capacity. IMHO, still deserves to be in the squad, and probably start. Sven hasn't got the balls to drop him though.

Excellent squad !! Well done Sven ... for picking the ones U wanted and not the papers wanted King isnt in as hes injured and we have a good set of centre backs SWP doesnt deserve to be in for picking Chelsea to play for where he knew he wouldnt get a game Defoe is shite .. end of ! Good selections in picking the wide players of Downing and Lennon .. maybe allowing a 3 man midfield which would push Gerrard or J Cole into an attacking area just behind the attacker (whoever that may be if Owen and Rooney are out - probably Crouch!) And Walcott .. might just be the one to win us it Well done Sven .. excellent squad.. i for one will miss him  |

Also meant to say Owen Hargreaves is an excellent selection .. Mr Versatile plus he is used to playing in Germany and might give the squad some inside info on things ..

The press were the ones who wanted Lennon in the squad in the first place, everyone has been banging on about him for the past month or so? I went to germany once and im rather versatile and never got a look in, Defoe isnt to bad either, at worst inconsistent, at times though looks like a class striker
