That squad has 3 world class players in it at most :/
That's pretty generous.

Yep. Cole and Gerrard/Rooney depending on whether you class them as world class or not based on their performances in an England shirt.
Worrying times for England fans.
However, if everyone is fit you add Hargreaves, Terry, Lampard, Ferdinand. Anyone else? Does that make a difference to the number of World Class players?
I personally think that, based on form in an England shirt, only Ash Cole is in the upper echelons of players in the world, even if everyone is available.

Makes no difference about how "world class" any of the players are if they cant play as a team.
Much better to have an "average" squad playing with synergy and a team spirit.
We have had 44 years of failure with English "world class" players, its about time we adopted a setup like Germanys.. I.e A good team of not quite world class players who come together to produce a world class TEAM performance.

Things I'd rather spend my time doing tonight XI:
As you can see, I, like Fabio, feel the more 'rigid' flat 4-4-2 system still has some benefit to the modern game.
Code:
Watching paint dry - Arguing with drunkenmaster
Sleeping - Eating - Counting sheep - Cleaning the toilet
Cracking one off - Self-harm - Clothes shopping - Staring out of the window
Contemplating the very nature of humanity
and our ritual desire for tribal dependency
upon a backdrop of increasingly fragile socio-economics.As you can see, I, like Fabio, feel the more 'rigid' flat 4-4-2 system still has some benefit to the modern game.

Well, I would LOVE a 1-0 win, or even a flaming DRAW as long as the PERFORMANCE was convincing..
You know.... Actually passing the ball, and playing real football on the ground instead of continually hoofing.
Now that DonkeyKong is gone, we may have some (small) hope.

2-1 probably. Walcott and Gerrard to score. Rooney still hasn't shown enough to convince me he is anywhere near back to his best.
A goal and an assist in his last game not enough?
