England Squad for Euro 2012 in The AnswerBank: Football

I still have this image of the FA in my head though....

Tim Howard has scored more goals than Downing this year and probably had more assists Downing = 0

Chamberlin is the same mistake as Sven made with Walcott in the last world cup.

5 Wingers and not a lot of creativity.

If Roy fails miserably the Press will be calling for Bertie Bassett instead, Philtaz !! :-))

Arksided

a shame there's no crouch in the team, most opposition would be thinking What The Funicular is that!

ELVIS68

Perhaps Woy is going for the opposite of previous managers

Pick a squad which the media and players won't think they've only got turn up to win

Hope so but I'm not that confident

Breaking news......

Congratulations to Stewart Downing on winning Mars' competition to go to the Euro's with the England Team

i hope he partners carroll and defoe in the two friendlies,i think they could compliment each other.

lol elvis

Downing is there for one reason I suspect to cross balls for Carroll... Defoe hopefully will be able to pick up the scraps

Philtaz

You could be right redman41!
In all seriousness I hope O-Chamberlain is given a go. I was miffed when Walcott was taken to the World Cup but not utilised, he deserved a half at the very least.
I don't care about players ages in any sport. If you're good enough, you're old enough. No fear so little expectation on his shoulders (hopefully), exciting to watch, will run like a cheetah and he'll doubtless wear that shirt with pride.
Give him a go!

Philtaz

Andy Carroll has been selected for the Euro 2012 squad. I can picture it now...

"Sorry Mr. Carroll, you can't take that barn door on the plane."

rowanwitch

re A O-C He's a different sort of player nothing prissy or fragile about him... looked very good when he played this season... glad he's got a place in the squad

Steven Gerrard will Captain England during the Tournament, not sure who the Vice-Captain will be yet....

Philtaz

Maybe Lamps or Parker? I'd personally go for Hart.

Duncer

VICE captain should surely be Rooney????

Arksided

agreed only player in an England shirt, that shows he wants to win.

Philtaz

John Ruddy, the old romantic, offered to cancel his wedding in the event of Euro 2012 selection - but the soft-hearted FA wouldn't hear of it.

The FA then asked Stewart Downing if he was planning on getting married any time soon.

If Rooney cares so much he should be proud to sing the national anthem apparently he doesn't because he has Irish connections...

Can we please be realistic before we crash and burn to the delight of those North of Berwick upon Tweed and say the players we have just aren't good enough.
Carroll played a good last 30 minutes in the Cup Final,Defoe isn't a regular in the Spuds side,neither Welbeck in Man U's and Rooney is banned for the first 2 matches..
That's just the forwards!
If Roy has any sense he'll come back to the Baggies now before the press destroy him.

I'll have my England flag proudly flying but if we get through the group stage I think we'd have done good.

At least we qualified ;-)

sir.prize

Wonder if Joey Barton has a passport?
