[James]

What does everyone think?

Full squad

Goalkeepers: David Seaman, Nigel Martyn, David James

Defenders: Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Gareth Southgate, Danny Mills, Wes Brown, Wayne Bridge, Martin Keown

Midfielders: Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, David Beckham, Kieron Dyer, Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole

Forwards: Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Emile Heskey, Teddy Sheringham, Darius Vassell

Standby: Danny Murphy

I wouldn't make any changes actually. Perfect squad

I would have taken Carragher, but he needs an operation unfortunately.

england have a really good side ( hoepfully ) this worldcup

England squad seems to have a good mix of youth and experience

Its definately not a side that will go all the way when you look at the likes of Italy & France who have quality all through the squad.

I don't think France will be able to defend the cup, I think the Italian team looks really good if they don't screw up in the semi's.

I think we are all building England's hopes up far too much. Compared to France and Argentina, we don't have a chance.

A bit like the English cricket team.

 

[Neil Pickup]

We could beat France and Argentina at cricket... (but not Sri Lanka, quite patently...)

 

[Anon2]

They'll be making France into a Test playing nation soon, just so England have somebody to beat.

[Neil Pickup]

Are we wasting posts again?

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

No!

Did you see England vs Cameroon? 2-2 draw. How can people think we are going to win the World Cup if we can't beat Cameroon? We were outplayed the whole game as well! That's just what it's going to be like against Nigeria, apart from the fact that Nigeria are better! I like Cameroon's shirts though!

All you people from Australia and New Zealand, who you going to support in the World Cup? Australia were unlucky not to get there.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Far too early for me... They're only friendlies after all, France only scraped past Korea 3-2 (Leboeuf last minute winner!), and Sweden drew 1-1 with Japan. As long as Emile Heskey doesn't play then we'll be fine, second round then out to France on penalties

 

[Tim]

Im still thinking either Italy or Argentina.

if Beckham doesn't play, England are screwed.
If Zidane doesn't play a couple of games for France, they might just suffer too.

Spain are actually shaping up nicely, but I still can't go past Italy or Argentina who have had good build-ups.

Final..

Italy 1 Argentina 2

You wait and see...
