this would be the perfect englad WC squad IMO once everyone is fit:

Robinson
James
Kirkland

Neville
Campbell
Terry
A Cole
Ferdinand
King
Carragher
Bridge

Beckham
Gerrard
Lampard
J Cole
Carrick
Parker
Downing
Dyer

Owen
Rooney
Defoe
Crouch

But with some exceptions in midfield with players like SWP, Jenas, Richardson & Smith some of the blokes i have in midfield might not go.

Richardson & Smith?!?! Try Nolan and Pennant and you're getting closer

no when i say exceptions i mean to Sven Richardson & co might go instead of Parker or Dyer. But yea even Nolan & Pennant are better options than them.

How long will Smith be injured, anyway? Sven can't pick a cripple.

hopefully until after the squad is picked, you know what would be great if all the jokers like Jenas, Richardson etc suddenly get injured & Sven has to pick guys like Parker etc

Why should Parker get picked? When was his last international?

I think he's played once.

He's been playing fairly well for Newcastle, but without the exposure there's no way people can say he should be in the World Cup squad.

Alan Smith has no hope of going to the World Cup. He could be out for a year!


AFAIC, I'd be very surprised if this isn't the squad:

Robinson
James
Kirkland/Green if Kirkland's injured, which he probably will be.

G Neville
Ferdinand
Terry
A Cole
Campbell
King
Carragher
Bridge/Young if he's not fit

Beckham
Gerrard
Lampard
J Cole
SWP
Carrick
Jenas

Rooney
Owen
Crouch
Bent
Defoe

Maybe Pennant might have a chance? He'd link up well with Ashley Cole. Could have Pennant on the left midfield with Cole behind him

yes but its stupid that Sven has keeps ignoring him, don't know if he will be missed at the WC but people like him should be in the mix when people like Richardson & Jenas get picked, hopefully our next coach realises his ability and picks him..

the fact that he has lost that label means that his inclusion is now not neccesary, not any more than a sub anyway.

if he keeps his form up and bridges injury doesnt heal in time, he could make a reasonable reserve for cole i would have thought, stranger things have happened, but i would say young is a more likely option personally.
