Nice try, except Rodwell was ruled out for the season and the Euros the other day, and Foster retired from internationals.

"Guess the squad" / "who do you want in it"

Surely different questions, I call shambLOLes...

Our blessed leader JT is still going isn't he? Wouldn't be surprised if Hodgson can convince Foster to pack his suitcase for the trip...

Have to take three keepers to an international tournament.

[Terminal Boardom]

I would love to see Crouch go because he offers something completely different up front. Can't see Walcott going though.

[Silver Fox]

As much as I hate him being anywhere near the squad anyone guessing "JT" won't be there has lost already surely?

[JimmytheJim]

Walcott will definitely go. He's been excellent in the past few months.

[Terminal Boardom]

And I think Lescott should go even if he has a wierd forehead

As a 5-year-old, Lescott was involved in a serious car accident where his head got trapped in the wheel for some considerable distance he was dragged from this car. Lescott made a full physical recovery though was left with some superficial scarring.

Not quite so funny

[Hoop Blah]

I'd expect to see something very similar to JimmytheJims squad, but with an extra forward at the expense of a defender. With Rooney banned we'll need extra depth upfront and we don't need to take all of Richards, Walker, Smalling and Jones.

I agree with whoever it was that thought Hodgson may be able to get Foster back into the squad. I don't see much to write home about with Ruddy by the way. He's pulled off some good saves because it seems like he's had a fair amount of work to do behind that Norwich back four, but I've never looked at him and thought he looks better than the rest.

[Maguire]

Our squads's pretty shit, isn't it?

I would guess that he's going with the idea that Johnson can play left-back, and that Jones and Richards are really centre-halves who play right-back sometimes.

[Royal Lady]

What's the point in taking Rooney? He's banned for 2 games isn't he?

Whilst I agree with you, there's no doubt he will be going IMO
