I don't know every player, for example I haven't a clue who i'd pick for right back.

but these are the ones I think should be certs assuming a perfect world of fitness..

James/an other

Cole, Baines, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, Dawson (the tottenham one right?) plus two right backs

Walcott, Cole, Barry, Lampard, Milner, Gerrard (who knows maybe he can find the motivation in the summer), Lennon

Defoe, Rooney, Heskey + undecided on the other, I guess Cole as he's the only other big striker we really have.

After that it's a toss up between quite a few players who could provide cover in my opinion.

Very skinny though, I really meant someone else like Heskey for the others to play off.


A good player in his own right, should be on the list. :oops:

Can't understand why a striker who can't get in his own clubs first team is playing for England - Heskey out!

Judas Carragher, who over the past 4 years had put Carling Cup ties for LOLiverpooLOL over appearing for England, to be included in the squad. Absolute Disgrace.

The fact that he was constantly being overlooked by England managers when the likes of Wes Brown were getting in probably had something to do with it.

Would much rather Carragher than Upson in the defence
