The official guess the England 22 thread

[Victor Meldrew]

KEEPERS:

1 Hart
2 Green
3 Carson/Foster (If Roy gets him out of retirement)

DEFENDERS:

4 Johnson
5 Cahill
6 Ferdinand
7 Cole
8 Lescott
9 Baines
10 Jones
11 Walker

MIDFIELDERS

12 Parker
13 Gerrard
14 Lampard
15 Barry
16 Young
17 Milner
18 Walcott

FORWARDS

19 Rooney
20 Welbeck
21 Sturridge
22 Carroll
23 Defoe

Personally I'd love to see Micah Richards and Michael Carrick in there, but I don't think it will happen. Also wouldn't surprise me to see Stewart "No goals, no assists" Downing in their for Defoe probably.

My starting XI v France

Hart
Richards Lescott Cahill Cole
Lampard Parker Carrick
Sturridge Carroll Young

Probable starting XI v France

Hart
Johnson Ferdinand Lescott Cole
Young Barry Parker Gerrard
Welbeck Carroll

Don't you think that your midfield 3 might be just about the slowest in the whole tournament?

'Arry says Parker has an achilles problem and may be a doubt for the Euros.






Gareth Barry. *shiver*

[RobRoyal]

Looking at the bookies' odds, they're going for a squad that looks like:

Hart
Green
Foster

Cole
Baines
Cahill
Lescott
Ferdinand
Terry
Richards
G Johnson
Walker

Barry
Gerrard
Lampard
Carrick
Young
Parker
Milner

Rooney
Carroll
Welbeck
Sturridge/ Defoe/ Crouch

It's actually a plausible list, though surely in reality you'd lose a centre-back and gain a winger or 5th forward.

No Walcott? Really!?

[Victor Meldrew]

No Walcott? Really!?

Has had a poor season but for balance you might expect him or Lennon to be included.

[ZacNaloen]

11 goals and 13 assists is poor?

Compare it to Lennon and it's a relevation.
