I still can't get over the fact that the US needs to poach mediocre Norwegian players. Diskerud wouldn't be on the bench for Norway.

Also, Norway will concede within 20 minutes, and England will win without breaking a sweat.

We are Fulham, super Fulham, we are Fulham, fuck Ch*lsea.
There is also the Copa Centroamericana 2014 taking place across 3-13 September, and the 2014 Caribbean Cup from 9-18 November, both of which will decide participants in the 2015 Gold Cup and, for this time only the 2016 Copa America Centenario.

The qualification rounds for the Caribbean Cup are taking place at the moment.

Not bad enough. If they are, they should just disband the national team, and try again as Team GB.

If the BBC is to be believed that's a 4-3-3. I'd like it to be more of a 4-4-2 diamond and I think Chambers deserves the spot over Stones but hey no Gerrard or Lampard!

oh cool a team built entirely around shoehorning in as many attacking players as possible so you can drop sick bombs on estonia and paraguay and then get made to look ordinary by the first decent opposition you meet

if only more club teams tried this approach, i'm sure it'd work well

3-5-2 with Baines and Ox as wing-backs, clearly. Sterling central behind Rooney/Sturridge. It's the hip new thing.

Nah, once you've realized they're all poo poo you can relax, lower your expectations, hell just enjoy the ride. It's the zen of hailing from a nation that's poo poo at football.
