It a good side i hope he plays the young lads i think they will do well.
 
Very happy about his decision to call up some young players.
 
nice squad. also nice not to see all the regulars
 
Dont see a point in playing lampard, gerrard, barry, A.cole and terry tbh. even rooney on that list, what will he learn about all of them in this friendly, much rather see players like Huddlestone, gabby, onucha ect ect, to give them a chance, even young fringpong from arsenal, to make sure he is committed to england.
 
From the World Cup 23 David James, Joe Cole, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Shaun Wright-Phillips are all left out, while Emile Heskey has announced his retirement from international football.

You do still need some experience, can't just play a team full of kids.

but players like Parker, Huddlestone arent really kids, they have played in big prem ties, and in parkers case a champs league for chelsea. surely a friendly against hungary cant faze him.
 
am glad to see Fabio is giving some of the youngsters a chance too play with the big names although i would suggest not playing them (the starts) as id rather see a young england team perform. not to sure about bobby zamora a must admit, one good season and he is internation quality? id of prefered gabby given another shot.
 
Gutted Hudds was left out. Very surprised by that, as I thought he'd be a sure bet. I think he should have been in ahead of Barry or Lampard really.
