Should never have picked Terry, Walcott or Carroll

Philtaz

Looks OK on paper. No Micah Richards? Is he injured?

Don't understand the fuss over Ferdinand, no current form and a glass back. He was a non starter IMHO.

ELVIS68

Add Lescott to that trio too

Grant Hold for Carroll

Holt!

Same old failures from World Cup are included.

Philtaz

Nice to see though that Oxlade-Chamberlain has been given a chance, some modern thinking for a change, he'll worry a lot of defenders.

Sturridge has been placed on standby, along with Phil Jagielka, Jordan Henderson, Adam Johnson and Jack Butland.
Just incase anyone has to pull out before 28th May

With the expectations so low this time around after the world cup I think we may have a realistic chance of making the semi's. It will depend on who he fields on each game though.

I always live in hope with the England team.

Still the odds on a win have just got a whole lot more appealing....
Not convinced JT should be in the side though And for me Grant Holt instead of Welbeck...

Mmm, let's take Rooney - on the assumption they'll get to a game he can actually play in - and if the rest of the squad fali, which is on the cards..... Then it's a waste of a choice......... but it's your decision. ☺

In answer to the question, "Is this squad good enough to win Euro 2012" - NO.

I wish them well, to a point, and I have absolutely nothing against Woy, but they will do very well to get out of their group, never mind win the tournament. I can't see past Germany at present, although Spain, Holland and France shoul do well too.
