I would love to see Gary Hooper given a place. 23 goals so far this season which, I think, makes him the third highest scoring englishman behind Rooney and Ricky Lambert

He's scoring goals against championship and league one standard defenders....

I can't argue over the standard of spl defending, but if these are championship level defenders then he's scored more than Holt or Carrol managed at that level.... And I'm sure one of those will have a place.
He's also put in some big performances at european level which as we know is a world apart from the spl.

definately welbeck for his partnership with rooney. He is probably better than Defoe. I would take Bent over crouch and defoe.

Was the team picked with aid of some happy juice? Jagielka & Bent, really??? surely Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck aheads of these? then playing Downing and Walcott A) on the wrong sides and B) ahead of adam johnson? strange, strange team

Starting XI:
Joe Hart (best English keeper by a stretch)
Kyle Walker (young player of the year)
John Terry (dickhead but decent defender)
Gary Cahill (plays alongside Terry for club, decent player)
Ashley Cole (see John Terry comments)
Ashley Young (can dive to win us some penalties)
Frank Lampard (one of his 25 deflected shots is bound to go in)
Scott Parker (heart on sleeve player, even when ineffective)
Adam Johnson (one of the most underrated players IMO)
Jermaine Defoe (best of a mediocre bunch)
Peter Crouch (has a strangely good international goal scoring record).
Other squad players:
Kelvin Davis, Rob Green, Leighton Baines, Joleon Lescott, Chris Smalling, Gareth Barry, James Milner, Aaron Lennon, Stevie Gerrard, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney.
Rooney to start versus Ukraine, by which time we will probably be out anyway. The Spanish/Germans must be looking at our strikeforce and pissing themselves.

i know that squad isnt "The Usual Suspects" but ive picked that team on the basis of their individual performances for their own respective clubs. Isnt that what we should be doing? to many egos at the moment in the current England squad. I bet you that if Roy picked my sqaud alot of the players would finally play for pride and passion of the three lions that we've been lacking for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many years, also all the rest have had their chance and time after time failed to provide any pride back to England (not saying mine would) but a change would be bad.

You think they even look at our squad? I'd be happy to be a second thought to them!

I believe Grant Holt is the second highest scoring Englishmen after Rooney in the Prem and is also probably the most accomplished diver after Diving Didier Drogba......

CB: Cahill

LB: Cole
CM: Jones
CM: Parker
CM: Scholes
RW: Sturridge
ST: Rooney/Bent
LW: Young

Out with the old in with the new!

Cahill
Gibbs

Rodwell
Sturridge
Oxlaide-Chamberlain
Sinclar
Walcott
The pace on that front four is insane and with the way we played at the world cup none of the oldies deserve to be in, we need to play these young players now so we may come good in the world cup, yes we may get slaughtered but the Germans did it last world cup and now are in an incredibly strong position heading into Euro 2012.

I personally wouldn't have Downing anywhere near an England squad, he's just not very good. I'd take Crouch in the squad as an impact player and I'd also take Bent if fit. Milner has got to go because of his versatility and Walcott can also be an impact player. The reason I've picked Barry over Lampard is because both he and Gerrard like to bomb on and support the forwards whereas a combination of Parker and Barry will provide a solid shield to allow Gerrard to burst forward with regularity. Also Barry is one the most consistant performers in the premier league and is very underrated.

Have to consider whether Ferdinand or Terry will go, I don't think they both can and it's a very difficult decision for Hodgson. My CB defensive partnership switches altogether depending on which one of them is selected and plays. Lescott and Ferdinand or Cahill and Terry. Would also love to see Scholes coaxed into playing.
