Thank god we only have 1 player involved.

With Pearce as manager this squad is operating with a huge albatross around its shoulders; at least we dont have to suffer the Beckham circus.

Some good players in there, especially the Swansea boys, Micah and Ramsey. As a Rochdale lad I'm pleased for Craig Dawson too.

I'd love to see England squads like that; but with no fucking Frank Becktards or Scott Terrydinands. Just a bunch of young players, with no expectations, find out who sinks, who swims & then try it again with the next batch.

you just don't rate the team selection or is it the manager or what specifically do you think will preclude them from winning it all?

please advise.

England have as much chance of winning the football as the USA have of winning the rounders ( Baseball ) this time.

Is it safe to assume that the attack will look like this?

Sinclair---Allen---Ramsey---Giggs
-------------Cleverley
-------------Sturridge

Pretty dynamic in my opinion, and capable of causing a few problems.
