How many English midfielders are better than Henderson? It's definitely more than 20; is it as high as 30 though?

These are the kind of questions a top manager like Hodgson must be able to answer.

Loving Africa Chaps: Dec 3, 2007; We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Was in the car when 5 live read the squad. Literally cheered when ruddy was announced as thought it was going to be a good squad then very nearly did an Ashley cole when downings name was read out. What the gently caress.

Also the ox is a great choice. Perfect impact sub and can replace either the person on the left or right.

Feeling pretty good about my dual nationality right about now. If anyone wants to marry me for a German passport send me a pm and we might just be able to get it done in time

Didn't the FA say players that go to the Euros can't play in the Olympics?

Honestly don't really understand why the forum is so wound up about this. I don't agree with everything, but the core of the team is as expected and I don't think Micah Richards, Grant Holt and Michael loving Carrick would really make a significant difference to England's negligible chances.

I'd love to see the back of Lampard and Gerrard, but really who do you take in their place when the obvious successors have been crocked all season?

You grousers are all such spoiled little pansies. The guy got Switzerland to the World Cup and almost got Finland into the Euros. He's coached all over England and the rest of Europe in a diverse career spanning 35 years and multiple finals, higher-than-expected league finishes, and surprising tournament runs.

If England doesn't do well, maybe they just aren't very good.

Lol. Justifies Ruddy by pointing out that we just don't have many goalkeepers to choose from.

Welcome to the team you bottom of the barrel champ!

Royality: Jun 27, 2006

I've decided that the only way England can win is if they play like Chelsea vs Barca and just counterattack. Play a 4-5-1.

Hart
Johnson - Terry - Cahill - Cole
Parker - Barry
Walcott - Oxlade - Young
Rooney/Welbeck/Defoe

Where Barry occasionally supports a counter attack and everyone tucks back in during opponent possession.

P. Sure I'd win the Euros.

Royality fucked around with this message at May 16, 2012 around 13:06

the expectations game. people are acting as though it the worst squad possible, so that they can feel thrilled about making it out of a group that features two much weaker sides is some kind of big achievement.

It's such a weird justification.

"Well, they're the team that got us into the Euros." But they're also the poo poo team that all the other previous managers selected and consequently got them fired.

haha Swedish fella stings Roy completely and he has no idea what he's going to do against them in the Euros.

Thinking about the opponents has not been a priority.
