On June 1st he will whittle them down to final 23.
Has he made the right choice I wonder

[cazzz1975]

they have to gel together as well, the last england friendly I watched they were not fluid, hopefully they will have enough time to get comfortable.

[redman41]

If his key players stay injury free and play to the best of their ability they may make the semi's, not sure if they can get to the final as a lot depends on the other main contenders getting to the last eight i.e Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Germany etc.

Anyone dare pick a winner at this early stage ?

[Dodger666]

I have just asked in the Sport section, how on earth does Emile Heskey still get picked for England when he can't get a full time place in the Villa team?

[redman41]

He may well not get picked for the final 23 Dodger as in my opinion he does not score enough goals.

[jednbutter]

Hi,who is Tom Huddlestone,which team he play for ?

[redman41]

Huddlestone is in Spurs Midfield but I doubt he will make the final 23

[jednbutter]

Thanks Redman, i also hope he drops heskey and lampard.

[trt]

Drop lampard jednbutter, I take it that's a joke??????.

[joeluke]

Looks to me like its overloaded with midfielders

Assuming he will take all 3 goalkeepers and dump Bent from the forwards, that means I guess 4 defenders and 6 midfielders will drop out leaving us with 3 keepers, 8 defenders, 8 midfielders and 4 strikers

My predictions not to make the final 23 (assuming Barry is declared fit) are:

Upson
Warnock
Carrick
Huddlestone
Wright-Phillips
Cole
Bent

[jednbutter]

Lampard is brilliant for chelsea but for England he never performs, it makes sense to take a performer and not a under performer.
Just my view.

[Everhelpful]

Why would he dump Bent and keep Heskey?

[joeluke]

Cos England managers all seem to like Heskey - unlike Bent he is not a prolific goalscorer but they think he is good to play alongside others.

My prediction that Bent will be dumped was not a personal choice (I don't rate Heskey either), it was just what I think Capello will do

[Everhelpful]

Joeluke, I'd have Zamora in before Heskey in fact I'd have Mrs.Zamora in before Heskey,if in fact Zamora is married.!!

[jednbutter]

I think Heskey does some sort of Voodoo on england managers, he must do somthing cos it aint his football.

[Everhelpful]

I think Heskey is as much use as a sponge leg.

[joeluke]

IMO Heskey is useless, Zamora or Agbonlahor should be chosen ahead of him, Heskey doesn't even play regularly for his club (a thing which Capello stipulates a player MUST do if he is to be selected)

[jednbutter]

I wanna play on Cappello's internet game,it sounds good.

[Adam]

I have a feeling Argentina or Ivory Coast are going to win it this time around
Most people will say Spain and Brazil..maybe France..But i like to go away from the flow. :P
