Will individual players they make the squad?

James, Green, Hart
Johnson, Brown, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, Lescott, Cole, Bridge
Wright-Phillips, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Milner, Carrick, Lennon
Rooney, Heskey, Crouch, Defoe

Personally I'd take Micheal Turner, Carlton Cole, Owen, Joe Cole, Ashley Young and Walcott at the expense of Lescott, Heskey, Crouch, Beckham, SWP and Carrick

What do others think?

First, I think Capello will take Foster not Hart.

I wouldn't take brown or lescott. Nor would I take Wright-Philips or Carrick. I would aslo include Carlton Cole over Heskey and Owen over Crouch. If Hargreaves is fit he would take Brown's place. I would also make room for Parker.

So;

James
Green
Foster

Johnson
Hargreaves
Milner
Rio
Terry
Upson
ACole
Bridge

Parker
Barry
Lampard
Gerrard
JCole
Beckham
Lennon

Rooney
CCole
Owen
Defoe
Walcott

if crouch is in the squad i will support scotland

Clockwork, so we agree on 20 players, that's pretty good. I'd also agree Hargreaves for Brown if he can get himself fit, and you're right his best position in our set up is right back.

That just leaves you with Beckham and Scott Parker (who is having a great season) for my Turner (also having a great season) and Ashley Young. Just semantics about how many back up defenders and midfielders; I prefer more attacking options. Beckham offers little nowadays and is always a defensive sub, Ashley Young can crack open difficult defences but is a gamble.

In summary I don't think we're far apart.

Pythagorus. Perhaps Micah Richards can play himself back into contention - I'm not a big fan of Brown, either! I haven't seen enough of Turner to judge his chances, but he has quite a few players to get past to make the squad.

That's the key. Whilst Capello might know his best 11 and possibly 16 definites (if fit), one or more selections could come from left field. For instance, I prefer Warnock to Bridge.

if they are fit and playing well i really cant see him not taking j.cole and hargreves...


as for heskey, he is the lynch pin of england going forward and the team wouldnt work without him. he is so much stronger, better in the air (heading accuracy that is) and uncontested when it comes to holding the ball up. I agree he is far from a world class player but i think his playing style is vital to our side, and he is better at it that cc and crouchy

lol at parker in the squad btw, absolutely no need for him whatsoever

Others with a shout if we're going on form are Gary Cahill, Bobby Zamora and Lee Bowyer but presumably they've all timed their runs too late?

If he plays a fair number of games from now until the end of the season, then Ledley King will go imo. It's no secret that Fabio is a massive fan and would without doubt take him if he's playing for spurs at the end of the season.

anyone think Agbonlahor worth his place?
would be excellent to bring on for last 20min or so to run at tired defenses..

Capello is a big fan of Downing in so much as he likes left-footed players for left-footed positions

i would not take ferdinand. also take micah richards and cole

also i would not take lampard
