Gilly old sport, the squad is not correct!

Crouch has done his back and Carson was replaced by Scott Loach due to a bereavement. I don't think we called up a replacement for Crouch?

Ah I forgot that Berbatov retired from international football, I hadn't seen their squad, and just assumed he would be in it. That's some good news for us I suppose.

Good to see so many City players in the team despite 'Ruining Football' :rolleyes:

Gilly · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:27

I thought they needed 3 keepers. Is that just the big tourneys?

goonerfan · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:30

yeah limit is 26 players, no stipulation on how many of them have to play in any position

Ripper · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:35

I'd go for:

Hart
Johnson - Dawson - Jagielka - Cole
Johnson - Gerrard - Barry - Carrick - Milner
Rooney

4p · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:38

twist3d0n3 · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:49

goonerfan · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:56

twist3d0n3 · 3 Sep 2010 at 11:57

If they let David Pleat anywhere near a camera or microphone that'll be a bad start.

How Andy Townsend is still getting paid work as a pundit has got to be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world. Forget the ******* Higgs-Boson or whether there's ever been life on Mars...

Well done, you bought everyone in sight that might be half decent, and those in the squad were already England regulars bar Johnson. You guys rock :cool:
