Has there actually been a press conference by Fabio? Must have missed it?

Neh can't really can he? Came in and said he'd pick players on form and basically didn't so why put himself through a difficult press conference when he's got to work out how to get Heskey to score like he did against Denmark in 2002.

Meh I think he did fine, but there is no point discussing it as we will all disagree and the discussion will end up like this

Agreed. Not the exact squad i would have picked but not far off but i don't think it was picked on form but thats something he said would happen 2 years ago wheras now he probably wants to have the best chance of winning the world cup and doesn't really care what he said back then.

This picking on form thing is bs, is anyone saying if Rooney had been out all season and just regained fitness that he shouldn't go because he'd have no form ? Joe Cole has shown he is capable of doing it at the very highest level and was a must to go imo.As for the Heskey debate I can understand why he's going,Crouch would play ahead of Heskey for me but just because they're both tall doesn't mean they are there for similar reasons as they are very different players,Heskey is much more of a target man than Crouch and Rooney's scored nine goals in his last ten games with Heskey,but only two in ten without(bbc updates ftw ),and that's the sole reason he goes.Darren Bent is unlucky it was a straight shoutout between him and Defoe and for me it's Defoe everytime.

Spot on Ray

Anyone who says Joe Cole should not be there has not got a clue imo. I'm glad Emile got the nod aswell even thou he'll prolly come off the bench to save us in the Q/F and miss a sitter

WTF

This guy has been stealing a living for donkeys years! They say strikers have more eoles than just scoring but all Heskey does fall over and miss sitters and might occasionally nod a ball down for a scoring chance!

England make 11.5 hour flight to SA tonight - which member of the 23 would you least like to sit next to on a plane for that long, and why?

Carragher - language barrier

Couldn't hack Carragher's whining tone for that long methinks.....................however if it meant I was going to SA to watch the WC I'd be happy sitting on John Terry's lap tbh.

Even as a Jock, I get real excited during the WC, especially when any the home nations are playing. Not sure England are better than a semi - final place but if they get there they have a chance I suppose.

Good luck guys
