GK- Green, Foster, James

DEF- Johnson, Richards, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, Lescott, A.Cole, Warnock

MID- Beckham, SWP, Lampard, Gerrard, Carrick, Barry, Milner, J.Cole

FOR- Rooney, Heskey, Defoe, Crouch

Why exactly??

Goalkeepers - Rob Green, Paul Robinson, Ben Foster

Defenders - Glen Johnson, Micah Richards, Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Phil Jagielka, Ledley King

Midfielders - Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Michael Carrick, Gareth Barry, Aaron Lennon, Theo Walcott, Joe Cole, Ashley Young

Strikers - Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch

At this moment in time (+ Joe Cole). They ought to have a stab at getting that fanny Carragher out of retirement, not that he deserves it for turning his back on the country

I don't see how someone who can't train regularly (and only does light training + 20mins on an exercise bike as a pre-match warm-up) can get in to the World Cup squad.

Don't know how anybody can give David James a place in our world cup squad, he has been appalling since harry redknapp and his coaching staff left for spurs, its been quite sad to see his demise between the sticks actually :S

Idiot! Anyone with a microgram of grey matter could figure out why in a nano second!

Do you still believe you were found under a gooseberry bush?

I'm hoping and praying he will come out of retirement. he shit's on lampard for his creativity!

Scholes has been terrible for years!!

I'd go with the same as the 1st post, Brown for Richards who has lost it in the last 12-18 months imo, and Joey Cole would get in if he gets back to his old self this season. Would be tempted with 5 strikers after '06, but I guess there won't be any untried inclusions in this squad so perhaps ok...

But Brown's never had it either ...

I know its 9 months away but just thought i'd ask what everyone thought. There could be a few surprises or it may just be the usual tried and tested players. At this current time my 23 man squad would be:

GK- James, Green, Foster

DEF- Johnson, Richards (providing he keeps playing well at rb for man city), A.Cole, Bridge, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, Lescott

MID- Walcott, Lennon, Milner, Young, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry, Carrick

FOR- Rooney, Defoe, Heskey, Crouch

Probably agree with that. Carrick swapped with Beckham maybe? :/ Not sure. Wilshere? :ph34r:

James, Green, Foster

Richards, Brown, Terry, Ferdinand, Upson, A. Cole, Bridge

Hargreaves, Lennon, Walcott, Carrick, Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, J. Cole, Young

Rooney, Heskey, Defoe, Crouch

No place for Johnson, Milner, Lescott, Wright-Phillips, Beckham, Downing or Owen... :o

But at least one first-choice player is bound to miss the trip through injury.

Wilshere maybe. I doubt the others will get enough first team football to be considered.

Rodwell plays regularly enough for Everton, and Ferguson is adamant that Welbeck will be taken.

Be interesting to see who breaks into the team before South Africa.

Surely Joe Cole would get the nod too? It can't be long before he's back again for Chelsea, so he should have had a decent amount of game time before the tournament. Comfortably the best option we have on the left hand side of midfield at the moment.

He'll be back on the injury list by then.

C. Cole

That is two players for each position if we stick with the system that we are doing now. Obviously Hargreaves and Joe Cole are going to have to get themselves playing fit and well, but I think Hargreaves is significantly better than any of our other defensive midfield players and the place is probably his for the taking. Joe Cole is the only other English player that is talented enough to warrant being given the freedom that Gerrard and Rooney get in the Capello formation, he is therefore vital if we ever want to move either of these two players and/or cope with injuries.

Beckham is in the squad for games when we are on top of teams but can't get a goal. His passing from deep is still the best in the team and he would instantly make us more dangerous from set pieces, in short he would be a useful player coming off the bench when you are chasing a game. He is also an outstanding professional and role model for the younger players.

There will of course be one or two players that have brilliant seasons and force their way into the squad. I'd have an eye out for Jack Rodwell and Jack Wilshere if he gets enough playing time.

Because he's comfortably in the top two English defenders, even with his unorthodox training habits. Imagine we get to the final and Ferdinand is suspended. Who do you throw in? King or Upson, Lescott, Woodgate? You've still got space for another centre-back in there for when it's a more prolonged loss. The nature of the tournament means that if one of our centre backs is out, you could throw King in for a game then hope the other recovers, and if not use the longterm option.

Agreed.

If Walcott is still ****ing around getting injured then obviously draft in SWP. We have some great strength down that side now. Lennon really is growing into an aggressive player, was a delight to watch him run at the Croatia defense the other night.

The starting eleven picks itself in my opinion. Green, Johnson, Rio, Terry, A.Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Walcott or Lennon, Rooney, Heskey.

Beyond that is more difficult, but I think (from your squad) the main man missing is Beckham. He has to be involved. Do you really need Walcott, Young and Lennon? I don't think so.

For those struggling to come up with your starting eleven, this seems to help - always best to see it on paper as it were!

Hasn't really picked itself there has it??

Based on current international form, Lennon would start.
