Euro 2012 line up

[Waz1892]

Wow Gerrard and Parker look awful again.

They look a bit lossed! Neither passing with much coviction or no forward movement of note.

Whole team needed to pass more, with patience but when going forward need to just be quicker more explosive

[anthonyl]

does young have something which gets him stuck to the ground? awfully slow and slowest turn of pace yet manages to set up a goal.

parker is far too slow and unfit. gerrard looks good though.

[Horneris]

Gerrard just got motm

[pleno1]

what? i must be watching a different game.

our defence looks good and if we go 1-0 up glglglglg anybody scoring, but if we go 1-0 down could be very desperate times.

[horseplayer]

giving gerrard mom there sums up andy fucking townsend as a pundit

does not rate hazard because he is to "tippy tappy" and constantly admires players who "get it clear"

i have stated on here and elsewere i am not gerrards biggest fan but i will say when he plays well

how that is worthy of a mom tonight is surely beyond anyone?

Cahill being scanned for a broken jaw. If confirmed, he's out

Terry scan on hamstring, too

Wow, Fingers crossed. Any news on Gerrard, he seems to pull up a little bit, then when subbed, went straight down tunnel with coach

EDIT - "Captain Steven Gerrard was also replaced but the Liverpool midfielder only had cramp.

"It's not a worry," said Gerrard. "It was a really tough game out there. It wasn't a full game but it was the first nearly full game I've played since the cup final.

"So I'll be fine for our first game against France on 11 June, no worries."

Getttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[anthonyl]

Higuain, di maria, messi, aguero all score for argentina tonight, yet still ranked below england, lol

[Waz1892]

Cahill ruled out. Martin Kelly in.

[anthonyl]

Martin Kelly.

How is he better than Richards, or Ferdinand?

Can almost field a Liverpool starting 11.

Joke.

[TightEnd]

Ferdinand would be in if Terry was ruled out. Clearly cannot pick him because of Terry. "footballing reasons" to exclude him isjust bollocks when they call up Martin Kelly who is not even a Liverpool reg.

Richards refused to go on the standby list, that tantrum has lost him a place now

[TightEnd]

England XI: Injured

Ruddy; Walker, Cahill, Dawson, Smalling; Wilshere, Huddlestone, Lampard, Barry, Rodwell; Bent.

England XI: Snubbed/chose to retire

Foster; Richards, Ferdinand, King, Gibbs; Lennon, Carrick, Scholes, A Johnson; Sturridge, Crouch.

[77dave]

People can keep moaning about Liverpool players making the squad all they want, but it doesn't change the fact that the reason that some players aren't on the plane is ego.

Richards and Carrick have no one else to blame but themselves.
I'm sure if Ferdinand went to Hodgson and said he could play with Terry he would be there also. Not blaming him for the issue but should be able to put his country first.

Robinson, Foster, Scholes could of made the plane as well. Bent refusing to play for Villa at the end of the season, a 1 game runout might of just been enough.
