But then.. there are just no good English players.
Walcott maybe, but he is still quite young.

Hart, Johnson, Woodgate, Upson, Lennon, Barry, Defoe, Owen, Cole, Young, Heskey, Hargreaves.
Why not? I know Gerrard hasn't exactly been in form this season, but he's still one of the best players we have. Even if Capello doesn't pick him for the starting line up, to prove a point, we still need him on that plane.

No he hasn't.
Not sure about Joe Cole, hasn't really played enough for me this season. Walcott over Owen defiantely and Crouch has to be on the plane, his goal scoring record for England speaks for itself.
Yeah... but he is a twat. I'd rather we failed badly than had him on the pitch.

ok.
Haha! In case you can't tell, I'm an Arsenal fan

+ one of Carrick and Hargreaves
+ three of Lennon, Milner, SWP, Young, Walcott
+ one of Heskey, Carlton Cole and Bent,
+ James, Bridge (or Warnock), Jagielka as backups.
And I definitely wouldn't have Gerrard in CM.
He's played fuck all football so far this season, and after suffering quite a bad injury you think he's going to get back in form in time? Definately would be one of my starting eleven but If the World Cup was next week I wouldn't take him.
It's a good job it's not next week then.
He's the best creative midfielder we have by a mile.
Completely agree with Crouch being in the squad....his goals are never pretty, nothing about him should equal him being a good footballer.....but as you said, he scores and he scores big for England. We can also use him as a target man instead of fucking Heskey.
Theo Walcott...I just don't like him. Ok he's got potential, but we keep saying this. He's fast and that's about it. He's just not big enough. Lennon, Milner or Wright-Phillips can do better jobs on the wing I reckon, and I just have a really good feeling about Owen. Call it a sixth sense but I just know we need him in the World cup squad...he was too good to just lose it at 29.
He should resign. Given his arrogance though I'm expecting that he will have to be sacked because I don't think he actually knows what the "decent" thing to do is...
