MID: Steve Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, James Milner, Stewart Downing, Ashley Young

Why do people want to take Heskey?!

We might aswell take Steven Hawking!

I swear under defenders you've wrote 'Wes Brown'? surely you did this by accident?
 
Just to clarify, I didn't mean take both Heskey and Crouch (as shown in my choices, I picked only Crouch), but I do feel like one of them is required in the squad as they fulfill a specific role that our other strikers cannot.
 
Iknow maybe Micah Richards instead ps why wouldn't u take Heskey England play better when he plays.
 
GK - Foster, Green, Hart
DF - Ferdinand, Terry, Cole, Brown, Upson, Baines, Johnson, Rodwell
MD - Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Milner, Young, Parker, Hargreaves(?if not fit then J. Cole)
ST - Rooney, Defoe, Crouch, Agbonlahor
 
Disapointed at how many people haven't choosen Owen in thier squads. But I suppose he has not been getting first team football, maybe thats his fault for going to Man United instead of a different club. I would love to see Joe Hart in the squad and I would put him in if I could, but I really don't see Capello choosing Hart to go to South Africa.
 
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Micah Richards, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Scott Danns, Ashley Cole, Stephen Warnock

Midfielders: James Milner, Ashley Young, Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry, Frank Lampard, Micheal Carrick, David Beckham, Aaron Lennon

Cant see why people or choosing Beckham he wouldn't even make my second 23
 
Depends on your definition of 'better'.

Dead-balls; of course. Pace and ability to skin up the opposition's defenders; not so much.

Better = end product.

If England are chasing a game throwing on Becks and Crouch is a good plan B

You heard it here first. Have no idea how people can be considering putting Hargreaves and Owen anywhere near their squads.

I swear Luke Young retired from International football?
 
i'm a bit confused as to why loads of people are putting wayne bridge and terry in the same squad when we all know that they are almost certaintly not gonna both be on the plane to south africa
 
and so did Figo, twice.

That's a fair point. But if Luke Young is in that squad I will be very surprised. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Wayne Bridge will catch a later flight.
