England team v Costa Rica named

AT least Wilshere will get the chance to show he is world class.

Last time I looked England were favourites ,baffling.

1.9 does look a mad price

Why has it taken 2 games to play there best team?

Hoddle's out there working I'm surprised Roy's not giving him a game as well...

that really is a disgrace

this is the world cup ffs

Still quicker than Lampard.

Might aswell get Adrian Chiles in aswell

cant say its any weaker than the original team, all much the same, average.

At least we get to see lallana, shaw & barkley.

The respect and honour he gives to lampard and gerrard contrasts sharply with the treatment of a. cole its baffling

At least there is another 31 teams are take it seriously.

it`s a sad indictment of English football when class defenders like Micah Richards are languishing in their clubs reserve team and substandard garbage like smalling are above him in the pecking order,i also have objections to milner even trying an England shirt on let alone playing for the national side,a winger isn't much use if he can`t cross,run or dribble

I like milner tbh

but you've got to play your strongest team.


wouldn't be surprised if most of the strongest team have f@cked old woy off

Basically England have used this tournament as an international testimonial kickabout for Gerrard and Lampard

fantastic

spot on sonko

oh and don't forget completely accommodating Rooney at the expense of team shape because he is 'world class'

it's how monty python would run the campaign

Sonko knows

what price hodgson to change the team before kick off?


or isn't that allowed

why dont they just stick to selling subway meals,computer games and sportswear.Our premier league would be shyte without all those foreigners

Costa Rica will be making a lot of changes too...

Actually having read a few more articles it looks like Costa Rica wont make too many changes.
2 or 3 changes likely but nothing is confirmed.

lamps has been dying to get out there to have a lick of the whipped cream the refs are spraying on the pitch. this one really has become mike bassett 2. the craziest sketch being gary lewin being stretchered off during the italy, my mrs thought he had been playing.

that team is really sh1t. costa rica should do them if they want to. however having already qualified they might be content with a draw.

lampard,  ffs roy hes finished

Lampard finished - when playing for England he never really started.

Good riddance to another mediocre, overrated and worst of all grossly overpaid player.

honestly doesnt look any weaker than the previous team, both pretty sh1t.

The difference between this team and the last team is that this team won't be knackered from Manaus.  Who could possibly have foreseen that english players would be so lacking in energy having played in 30 degC heat and 70% humidity just 5 days before ?

carlton palmer not fit ?
