Only heard of four of those. ;D  Only one of the strikers and he played four years ago and didn't impress me.

Where are the big names like Torres and Ronaldo!

I shall be rooting for our chaps and if they don't make the final then I will root for Spain.

He can choose any overpaid muppet they'll be on the first plane back :( :( :(

No commitment to country, a cap just increases their transfer value, and heaven forbid they play as well for country as they do for the club that pays them :(

Woy is one of the biggest cocks in football.
He only considers players from the top 5 and his favourite club at the moment, Southampton.
Never players on form who would wear the shirt with pride  >:( >:(

How the hell he can consider Phil Jones and Chris Smalling after the season they have had is beyond me  :(

opps off Woy and lets get Big Sam or Steve "the dinner lady" Bruce in there.

Managers who don't give a toss about reputation or kissing the arse of the so called top 5 teams but would pick a team on merit that would play to our strengths  :y

I think he would have been better off pciking Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team as they would have more of an impact in Brasil given the state of the stadiums

I did put a word in for you. But at least when England fails to get anywhere near the final we will know the reason why  ::)

I read a story the other day, that London had been asked if they could be on stand by for the Rio 2016 Olympics, due to fears over building progress.

Can't see us scoring many with that line-up. Hope I'm wrong.

Can't see us keeping many out either  ::)

They need to get a quota system in the prem for the amount of foreign players i.e. each team fields at least 3 Englishmen per game

I'd go further then that Webby
Out of the squad of 25, I would enforce at least 10 players to have been born on these shores  :y
Yes, it would screw up the premiership for a good few years but would that be such a bad thing ?
