lol..considering gary neville is the only right full back in the whole england squad(cept for versatile carragher)..i would be surprised if they don't play the tried and tested 4-4-2 diamond...probably lampard or gerrard take turn to be the diamond spear...Originally posted by numby:my preferred england first eleven
gk: robinson
swp: carragher
cb: terry
cb: a.cole

SGE win or lose also stepping down as england manager...no diff...if he manage to discover a gem in walcott...best lah...
ashly cole is not meant to be a centre back...he will bomb forward...thus leaving only 2 defenders?Originally posted by countdracula:sven is a moron, he's bringing a player he hasn't even seen on the field solely to create news for himself...it's his last project so what the hell does he care. defoe would be a given since rooney and owen are crocked....wright-phillips too, no doubt he hasn't played much but his pace alone should put beckham to rest. i'm almost tempted to speculate that sven is a racist....
i would support a back three in terry, carrahger and a.cole with carrick in front of them. lampard and gerrad thrive best in attack with joe cole on the left and unfortunately golden balls on the right, this is where i'd prefer swp. defoe and and bean pole in front, only because of his height....
that said...brazil should win.......
quite right about the defenders, then move a.cole in the middle left, push joe cole behind the striker, preferably defoe meaning no place for crouch....as for swp, perhaps so but given the choice between him and beckie, he's the better bet.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:ashly cole is not meant to be a centre back...he will bomb forward...thus leaving only 2 defenders?
sucide...
SWP lose ball too often...not a good choice...
It's a gamble, not a bad one, no one knows a thing about walcott other than the fact that he has pace, and he probably wont be used in the first 11. At least Sven's shown that he's not a complete moron.Originally posted by countdracula:sven is a moron, he's bringing a player he hasn't even seen on the field solely to create news for himself...it's his last project so what the hell does he care.
