England Squad/Starting 11

[Geo the Sarge]

A bit one paced. but then so would any of King/Carragher and Terry be. Ferdinand apart we are a bit short of pace at cb, assuming he won't play Dawson

Agreed on the pace problem. For a situ like this I just think Carragher's no-nonsense stopper-like play is ideal in getting others in the team to settle and just get on with the job. King takes too many risks imo.

England have always benefitted when asking an old roll up your sleeves, reliable pro to step up.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

JUSTICE ALWAYS COMES AROUND EVENTUALLY.

Ledley will step in, hes class (getting my stfu Girgy in now).

Horner are you a Scotland fan or something?

GG winning the world cup without Rio

we have has much chance of winning it without rio as we do with him

[Blatch]

Gerrard is a better captain for the team too

[The Baron]

Lol if you think Rio would be the difference between us winning and losing the WC.

Except the last friendly, King has looked awesome this season. Nearly as good as Campbell at his peak after he moved to Arsenal.... (cue Nem....)

Gerrard is a better captain for the team too

This is the positive in the Rio injury,I'm hoping it will spur Gerrard on after what's been a terrible season by his standards and hopefully get it done,who is vice capt now ?

Lampard

You reckon the pecking order would ultimately have Dawson ahead of Terry because of what went down? Or you think that after a couple of obvious players they would just give him the arm band and say 'watch where you put yer knob next time'?

[kinboshi]

They are saying Gerrard for captain, might be a blessing in disguise if it can make him reproduce his Liverpool form for England

Hopefully, not his form from the season just gone though.

Joe Hart starting in goal - could he actually start in the world cup?

Thought he looked most impressive of the 3 keepers in the 2 warm up matches

Will be intersting to see if Green or James plays the second half or if Hart gets 90 minutes. Is James still injured? Having said that SWP, J.Cole and Defoe all start too and of them probably only JC has a chance of staring against USA

Full line-up: Hart;Johnson, King, Terry, A.Cole; SWP, Lampard, Gerrard, J.Cole;Defoe, Crocuh.

Why is it only on SSN?
