It's not like Netherlands are on another planet.....we'll be in the game.

They're World Cup finalists.

You're not.

Different levels.

Yes, Netherlands and Spain are on planet winners and everyone else has absolutely no chance and will never be "in the game" against either.

To be frank, if you're up against Spain you will never be in the game

Depends on your perception.

If Spain aren't winning by 2-3 goals then pretty much you're still in the game IMO.

Welbeck and no Sturridge?

You are when you can't get hold of the ball.

I didnt think it was that bad personnel wise, can't really find players who don't deserve to play for England... maybe that's the issue though.

EDIT: Cept' no Sturridge

Well, they never have 100% possession so if you're only 1 goal down then it takes 1 moment to be level again.

No Dawson again? What does he have to do to get picked? No Defoe but Crouch, makes no sense and if he saw them today they worked well together. No Lennon? Who also played well today. No Huddlestone? Should be given a chance, but then may not be fully fit yet though. Have we done something wrong to piss Postman Pat Fabio off? Ah well at least our English players (bar Walker who I don't think will even start against Everton anyway) will be fit for the opening game.

I love the prospect of England v Netherlands at Wembley but this is a ridiculous time to have it, the week of the start of the season.

I'm sure they'll be the closest to getting that.

Didn't Sturridge play most of the Rangers game yesterday ? Why would yo want him in the squad

I didn't say I wanted him in the squad.

Just shows how fucked up Capello's brain is.

Lescott, Milner and Downing

Oh fuck off

Why are people angry for their players not getting picked? I'd be delighted if none of ours were picked

Wenger on Wilshere’s inclusion in the England squad…
They can include him as much as they want, he will not play [because of injury].

Not sure if relevant though.

Netherlands got this

Aha. Get in Wenger.

I'm glad to see that only a couple of Man United players in the squad. These international breaks are very disruptive, especially when it's only for a pointless friendly.

A couple? There's 5. We almost couldn't have any more in there.

All I heard about were Carrick and Welbeck, so I was thinking some others might have been rested like Rooney and Ferdinand. It won't help to have them playing when they could do with a rest.

Ferdinand, Young and Rooney will probably start. Don't think Carrick will play at all, wouldn't be surprised if Welbeck comes off the bench either.

It's likely that Welbeck will come off the bench and get some game time. You don't get picked for the international team for the first time and not feature at all, unless your name is Theo Walcott. I agree that Carrick probably won't feature.

Welbecks already got a senior team cap....

Bent has pulled out.



E: Why did I only see this now?

jesus christ a drubbing is in order.

Gareth Barry has never been good enough for the england squad yet he's always on it

Cleverley called up now.

What the fucking fuck. Why is their a pointless friendly a few days before the season starts!?

Deserves it. I think Smalling should be called up as well.

Because FIFA are retarded. Happens every year, absolutely stupid.

FUCK

So that's 6 United players in the squad?

Sturridge should be in it for the good of England.

Suspended for the first 3 games of the season as well so it wouldn't exactly disrupt his start of the season..
