England Squad for Euro 2012

[Mark TKO]

Right we have this competition every time there is a big tournament and by next Friday I have to submit my entry.

Basically you have to predict the 23 players that will go to Euros (and this year the manager too !) and the one with the most right wins the pot (£2 per entry wo will be about £50 in total)

My heart wants to rule my head - I don't want Ferdinand, Terry or Lampard to go (and Cole but thats juist because I hate him) so don't want to put them in my list. But I can't see him leaving them all out. I did have Gerrard on that list too but have changed my mind and reckon he should go.

I also think Scholes should go !

Anyone care to share their thoughts ?

eg what about Oxlade-Chamberlain or whatever his name is ? Cleverley, Wellbeck, Sturridge etc....


Really think this is the toughest its ever been to predict - and after 2010 I am all for the youngsters giving it their all and losing than the egos fucking moaning and still doing shit.

What your side should look like...

ST: Rooney
LW: Young CF: OX or Milner RW: Sturridge (would play more ST as the back & CM would rotate out to the right to whip in crosses)
CM: Gerrard, Parker or Barry
LB: Cole CB: Cahill, Jones RB: Johnson/Richards
GK: Hart

Skill, speed, youth...those win you matches!

Glen would better serve club and country at righ midfield in my opinion...shame he'll never be moved though, Liverpool would look loads better with his width and skill in attack and Martin Kelly working behind him as well.

Micah Richards is just having a hell of a season though

Walcott and the Ox have worked their way in and Sturridge is quality...he's being played out of position and he's still quality and I HATE Chelsea, but he and Mata are their only shining spots

DEF Richards Baines Ferdinand, Smalling, Jones, Jagielka, Lescott



MID Parker, Carrick, Milner, Barry, Cleverley, Wilshire, Walcott, Young, A Johnson,



ST Rooney, Welbeck, Sturridge.


im one short yet

[El Kabong]

Yeah, Baines probably does deserve the starting LB spot. Lescott?!?!?! The fuck Smalling!?!?! Sheesh...good luck winning anything with them two on the pitch.

Gerrard should be captain and start....Cleverly & Wilshire have been injured. Carrick is old as shit, and Parker & Barry aren't as good going forward.

Pearce will give some young ones a chance if he gets it. I hope he does.

Youth have no expectation.

Look at the 6 nations. Young side, did ok, but didn't get hammered in press because they were young.

Will it really matter in the end?

That's just what this thread needed, a helpful comment from the Latino Gok Wan.

Think Peter Crouch on current form could merit a look?

Crouch offes more than some other strikers in the last squad for sure. His record for England is second to none for goals to games. I would always have a fit Crouch in the squad.
