Jimmy Bullard called into England squad

Goalkeepers: Paul Robinson (Blackburn), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham)

Defenders: Joleon Lescott (Everton), Wayne Bridge (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), John Terry (Chelsea), Wes Brown (Manchester United), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Matthew Upson (West Ham)

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Jimmy Bullard (Fulham), David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Stewart Downing (Middlesbrough), David Bentley (Tottenham), Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham)

Forwards: Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Jermain Defoe (Portsmouth), Emile Heskey (Wigan).
 
Why no Owen? that's the big suprise for me. Bullard has played ok for Fulham good at freekicks/corners , cant see us beating Croatia though :(

Can Cappello still add to the squad if anyone gets injured?
 
Apart from the defence it looks a very weak squad.

We're lacking a decent keeper, the midfield looks completely void of talent and the choice of strikers is a joke. I don't know what Walcott's done to deserve his place in the squad ahead of the likes of Bent, Gabby and Ashton and Heskey's proven time and time again he can't cut it at International level.

Also got to ask why our best winger (Young) still isn't being given a chance.

Yeah definitely needs Ashton, but Bullard has been brilliant, so deserves that.

Keeper wise.. :(
 
Hes got to start with Bentley in at least one of them games. Beckham just isn't offering anything to the side now other than his experience
 
Midfield still has Lampard, Cole and Barry. Suprised Owen is missing and I'd still take Crouch over Heskey.

If, as expected, we play Rooney off Defoe then i don't see why we'd play either (althoug i suspect Beckham will play both). Imo neither Rooney or Defoe are likely to get much joy out of the crosses that Beckham or Bentley will be putting into the box and we'd be much better off with somebody like Ashley Young running at sides and stretching defenses which will hopefully give Rooney some space to play in.

If they can hang until the end of this season I believe that Almunia can become eligable.

I personally like it that one of our players will spend the next two weeks having a rest.

Get's a British passport at the end of the year, not sure on Fifa's rules as they changed the rules in May.
