Here's how they're calculated. Worth a look for anyone with a basic understanding of Maths.

Tim Howard could put Joe Hart out of the team

Presumably your taking the ****?

Rafael Marquez is still outstanding for Barca and Mexico, and could put Terry out the team

Rafael Marquez doesn't even play for Barca anymore and he only played 15 times for them last season, Terry is a far better defender than him.

Luis Suarez is in far better shape than Rooney is now

Wayne Rooney scored 32 goals for United last season in the strongest league in the world. Suarez scored 35 for Ajax in a much, much weaker league. Nowhere near Rooney's level of ability.

Guillermo Ochoa could also put Joe Hart out of the team.

Just no, hardly seen Ochoa in action but he'd be at a top European club now if he was better than Hart.

No, I'm not taking the ****, Howard is incredibly under-rated.

Terry is not as good as people say he is, IMO he is a thug and nothing more. He isn't any better than Marquez, he couldn't beat Puyol or Pique into the Barca side either.

Very harsh to say he is nowhere near Rooney's ability. He is better than Rooney IMO and could beat any English striker into the English side.

Ochoa is incredibly talented, and rarely makes errors. Barca, Arsenal and Chelsea are all reportedly interested. Just because he doesn't play in Europe doesn't mean he is worse than anyone in Europe. Joe Hart isn't playing at a top European side either.

when was the last time you saw Howard make a massive mistake?

He dropped the ball to let Blackburn score a few weeks back.. When was the last time you saw Howard put in a better performance than Hart. England are much better than the USA imo. Their best player is Landon Donovan? Now I know England's team isn't brilliant and is undergoing a rebuilding stage however we have much better players than Landon Donovan.

Stay on topic, who plays for who, and who is better than who is utterly irrelevant. if people cant stay on topic, then the thread will be closed

 

[pistolped7]

Then why didn't you beat the USA, since you're so much better than them?

And Howard had a fantastic season last year, just as good as Hart's and was fantastic at the WC.

cant stay on topic after repeated warnings. idiotic
