Don't think the guys in bold deserve a place.
Terry can't defend. Lampard is past his sell by date. Lennon is a better option then Walcott. Wellbeck is an average striker

Lol.

[Mr G]

Yet Downing deserves a place? Haha you are so biased.

Carrol's done nothing either to deserve his ...

[Fuma]

I think Lenon could be excluded because he is made out of glass. Richards vs Johnson could have gone either way. I suppose maybe Johnson has more experience than Richards. I thought Phil Jones was a CDM and was just covering on defence at ManU?

Anyway, I don't expects anything different from England. As usual they won't make it that far. I wouldn't be surprised if Gary Neville plays.

John Terry 31 Games, 6 goals, 1 assist.
Downing 36 Games, 0 goals, 0 assist.

John Terry 31 Games, 6 goals, 1 assist.
Downing 36 Games, 0 goals, 0 assist.

Tim Howard, 38 games, 1 goal.

Downing 36 Games, 0 goals, 0 assist.

Downing's inclusion boggles the mind.

Then, again. It is Roy Hodgson. I'm just suprised he didn't call up Paul Konchesky.

"There aren't many quality left-backs around in the world, never mind in England - so to find an English one who can go straight into the team without any adjustment problems is a big advantage." - The hodge on Paul Konchesky.

soz, i missed downing too. not that biased after all. his the worst signing of the season

England need height up front. Rooney is good in the air but short, Defoe is a midget and Welbeck is yet to develop an aerial game. Besides Carrol was actually playing well towards the end of the season.

Jury is still out on what his true position is.

Would make for a cracking final. Holland should at least make the final.

John Terry 31 Games, 6 goals, 1 assist.
Downing 36 Games, 0 goals, 0 assist.

Amen

[KOPITE]

Richards is very unlucky and i would nave picked Kompany over Terry on any day
Im also surprised that Adam Johnson did not make it either.

Rooney is also banned for the first 2 games of the competition.

Ah right. Completely forgot about that :/

Do you even watch football? Kompany is Belgian.

The squad selection shows that Roy will be going with his "tried-and-tested" 4-4-2 formation and see "how far" they get. Johnson the only recognised right back, does this mean Jones is his backup?

4 wide players or wingers in Downing, Walcott, Young, Milner...possibly also the Ox. This leaves either Barry or Parker in holding midfield; and Gerrard or Lampard as attacking mid. With Rooney initially suspended, it seems he will go with Defoe/Carroll starting upfront. Can't really see how this England team will perform much better than the one that was SWC'10.

[RedWill]

Steven Gerrard has been named as England captain by manager Roy Hodgson for Euro 2012.
