your preferred England team for the world cup

Just interested in who you guys would like to see line up, i would go as follows;

GK: P.Robinson

DR: G.Johnson
DL: A.Cole
DC: J.Terry
DC: R.Ferdinand

MR: J.Milner
ML: S.Gerrard
MC: G.Barry
MC: F.Lampard

SC: W.Rooney
SC P.Crouch

GK: Hart

RB: Brown
LB: Barry
CB: Terry
CB: Upson

RM: Milner
LM: Young
CM: Carrick
CM: Lampard

AM: Gerrard
ST: Rooney

fuck playing out of possition and fuck attacking full backs imo. we will get raped up the wings by alot of teams so I would aim to stop that from happening by not drawing our team out of possition while we fanny about with the ball.

Bench:

Green
Ferdinand
Lescott
hargreaves (ideally)
Agbonlahor
Defoe
Crouch

You would go for Upson over Rio? im not Rio's biggest fan but i'd feel more comfortable if he were playing than Upson...

Id take Upson for back up tho, definitly should be included

I think right now upson is ahead of rio.

if rio aint playing much and aint playing well then fuck him, experianced and can do a job if injuries happen though.

NEVER get lured into picked people on reputation to START imo, reputation and done it before is a good quality for bench if someone else is doing better at the moment. could change but right now upson

GK: Green

RB: Brown(if fit)
CB: Terry
CB: Rio
LB: Cole

RM: Lennon
CM: G.Barry
CM: Carrick
LM: Young/Cole
AM: Gerrard

ST: Rooney.

GK: David James

RB: Micah Richards
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Terry
LB: Ashley Cole

DM: Barry
DM: Carrick
CM: Gerrard

LWF: Ashley Young
RWF: Walcott
CF: David Nugent...

Brazilanish 8)

surely carlton cole if you want a more brazilain line up, 7 brothers

and milner = kaka not walcott 8)

Milner for impact, really irritating team England, loads of nearly class players.

GK: Almunia Just kidding

GK: Green

RB: Johnson
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Terry
LB: Ashley Cole

CM: Barry
CM: Lampard
LM: Gerrard
RM: Milner

SS: Walcott
CF: Rooney

GK: James

RB: Brown
CB: Terry
CB: Ferdinand
LB: Cole (if fit, other than that I don't know maybe try Richards or Baines)

LM: Young
CM: Barry
CM: Lampard
RM: Milner

ST: Crouch
ST: Rooney

Subs: Robinson
Upson
Lescott
Downing
Gerrard
Walcott
Agbonlahor

EDIT: Forgot about Johnson, maybe put him at RB and switch Brown to LB, don't remember seeing Brown playing at LB before though so don't know if it will work

..........................Green
Johnson.....Terry..........Ferdinand.....A.Cole/Baines
...........................Barry
.............Lampard.........Gerrard
Milner................................................Young
..........................Rooney

Subs:
Hart
Upson
Baines/Warnock
Carrick
J.Cole
Crouch
Defoe

btw captain Barry

I'll go for, and its just my opinion :-)

GK J.Hart
RB G.Johnson (I would actually consider Gary Neville though)
CB Rio
CB J.Terry (even though Ledley King would be a better partner but he wont be fit)
LB S.Warnock (A.Cole wont be fit and I think hes better than Baines)
RM A.Lennon
CM Barry
CM Lampard
LM Gerrard
S Rooney
S Defoe/Crouch (either of the two although if Owen was fit id take him and play him)

Subs:
Green
Upson
Baines
Lampard
Lennon
J. Cole
C. Cole

Robinson
Brown---Rio---Terry---Cole
Lennon---Barry---Lampard---Milner
---------------Gerrard----------------
---------------Rooney----------------

Bench:
Green
Downing
J.Cole
Crouch
Carrick
Defoe
Richards

I don't think that as a side we are good enough to have two attacking full backs which means Johnson misses out,Richards on the bench to cover both CB and RB.

good lad.

eveyone who a)picks 2 attacking full backs and thinks we will do well
b)wants gerrard to play left wing

just go end your lives now

i better do it now then lol

was gonna say, nice knowing you bosch

sad times but i couldnt think of any other Left wingers so i put gerrard there

thats kind of how england managers think though, who else is there bar a big name? no one lets play them all wherever

Ashley Young ?

pace on the left, quality on the right

young and milner, works for some random brum team

They will definately miss Beckham, I think he would have done well. It is a shame he would have broken the English record in what would have been his final world cup. He is 34 now cant see him still playing at 38 unless he does a Zidane. That is if he recovers from his "career threatening" injury.

Millner has been playing center for Villa this season.

He has been doing quite well in that position aswell.
I would have either Agbonlahor or Defoe partnering Rooney up front. Defore has been awsome this season but has a few bad games.
