in a way, im kind of hoping that he isnt, if theres a chance of him being fit it will turn into a media circus that will be about "wayne", rather than "england", having said that if he can get fit thats obviously a big bonus, but i dont think it will be as huge a blow as so many have speculated if he doesnt make it.

yea i would say so as well, but even though i'm a big Man U fan & u wont find many wanting an arsenal bloke ahead of ours, but its whats best for Englad & for that i would rather Campbell to start with big Terro since of recent Rio tends to laps at the back & which could be costly againts the major sides presuming England go a long way in Germany. Campbell has been superb in England last 2 major international tournaments which should count for something & is a more solid & dependable figure at the back defensively than Ferdinand.Pedro Delgado said:

I dunno, I think Rio has been playing it a lot simpler lately and not been so lackadaisical, I'd stick with him. If he starts fannying about then we've got Carragher or Campbell; it's certainly one area where we're spoiled for choice, along with the midfield. Reminicent of the French sides of '98, although Owen is streets ahead of Guivarch/Dugarry obviously. Let's hope we have similar luck as the French come Germany.aussie said:

Anyone know who's playing in it, other than Owen and Walcott? I've not heard a squad announced.marc71178 said:

Yes, the usual 'Pele says England will win' kiss of death. Because if Pele, the greatest ever player, says were gonna win, who are the tabloids to argue?
He does this every 4 years. Proof that great players dont always have the best football brains (or indeed any, if Beckham/Rooney are anything to go by)

Is that the fringe players from within the World Cup 23, or a different squad which includes some WC players? I can't find one named anywhere, and if it is the just the WC squad I don't see why they don't call it a full international.marc71178 said:

Fair enough. Should be interesting, especially if Walcott and Owen are up top together as they should be, logically.marc71178 said:
