Fuuuuuck.

Gaz Baz out for a month, I reckon Gerrard's still playing with a knock, ditto Defoe, Rooney's not been fit since before the Munich game, Beckham's long gone, Ferdidnand's barely played two games all season, frick knows what's even up with Glen Johnson, Terry has long term back problems, and Ledley King?!

We've got almost a whole first team of crocked players right there


On the flip, sicknote Hargreaves is apparently fit, both the Cole's are back and playing well, Adam Johnson's looking the part, as is Milner and Lampard has really hit form in the second half of this season.

Welcome to world's biggest media hype bandwagon.

Hargreaves


I think he was the best player for England in the last WC. I also think he's a better deep-lying playmaker/defensive mid than Carrick or Barry.

It's good for the U.S. though.

If I'm Capello, Ledley King or Michael Dawson should be playing centerback

Yep. And if Ashley Cole isn't ready at left back Alan Baines should be the call.

I don't trust Dawson, he seems like he'd deffo crack when the England mentality gets to him, King is a better player but unreliable. If only Woodgate could stay fit

The central defense is going to be England's downfall. IMO not atheletic enough in some match-ups. A healthy Davies would be a nightmare.

As long as we've got a Barry or Hargreaves lurking deep I think we'll be ok, I think the pace of the Premiership makes some of our players look slower than they are.

If not though, we're fricked, Terry just doesn't have the speed, who knows with Ferdidnand, King has knee problems, arrrhhgggg god. Gonna have to really defend as a unit.

My friend and I have this whole Chuck Norris-esque charade going on about Hargreaves. He's a quality player even if he doesn't get much talk.
