I too would hate to see Carroll picked. I really hope Lallana and Lambert are on that plane though. Welbeck and Kyle Walker can be on the plane too, but one that's landing as far away from Brazil as possible.


This one...

Couple of points.

I'd pick Carroll because no team plays with that type of centre-forward any more - defenders won't like it.
Also, he's good at defending set pieces for a forward (he's a forward rather than a striker IMO).
I don't think Sturridge (whom I rate) will look as good without Suarez beside him, and he's the type of
striker international defenders can out-muscle. Would use him as an impact sub.

Agree Milner is underrated. As for Henderson - well if he's improved it was because he was began from
a very low starting point. I've seen nothing that makes me think he's international class.


Sturridge did well though when he was the focal point when Suarez was suspended at the start of the season, and when Suarez was injured.

Fair point - and it's true he scored the goals. I recall him getting an early decisive goal in a couple of those matches
and then being largely anonymous for the remainder of the game. That's watching highlights though, so may not be
entirely fair.

I certainly see him as England's most instinctive finisher, currently. Agree that Welbeck should spend this summer
somewhere other than Brazil, moosey.

You're right, and perhaps he could do with a partner up front but I would say that could probably be said about many attacking players (particularly with English ones!)

This thread, and watching Rooney's form, inspired me to write this today:

Why Rooney Shouldn't Start for England in Brazil

A bit long for a post on the fishy

Yeah, it inevitably inspires a 'I hate the England national team and don't care but I'm watching the game' match thread.

I wonder how many of the people that hate England and international football end up watching any of the World Cup though?

I'm excited by England's attacking/midfield options. It's a shame we have the weakest pool of centre-backs to choose from that we've had for over 20 years, but I think there's a more reasons to be hopeful with the emerging group of intelligent, creative, composed and confident players.

I'd guess at about 97%!
