Rio Ferdinand

On current form/given Rio's fitness problems this season, King is just as good. Bad for the squad though.

Genuinly believe Kings lack of experience in Europe and playing in top matches for England will be a problem in the latter stages. Inexperience is fine with attacking players, at the heart of your back four its a problem. 10 times worse if we end up with Upson in the back four at some stage.

Interesting as well that we now have a player who assaulted someone as our captain, good example??

About as good as one who had to serve a fairly substantial drugs ban

I thought Rio served a ban for failing to take a drugs test...not through testing positive...although it might be said that our squad is plagued by dope, he is called Heskey!!!

We are now down to 22 players, two of whom (Barry and King) are still pretty much crocked and maybe one bad challenge from joining Rio on a plane home.

Didnt think could bring in substitutes after the 23 were named

Yes you can, they have to be brought in before the tournament starts...so, no probs replacing Rio, except that it is likely to be Dawson!

Yeah he did, still a drugs related ban though.

We can call a replacement in. Dawson seems the obvious choice. Rio got injured being turned by Hesky btw, don't think you can really blame him for that!

Failing to take the test is failing a test, otherwise anyone who had drugs in their system wouldn't take the test

Anyone who can't see that Rooney is released by Heskey's hard work for England knows nothing about football. Also the way I read it was Heskey turned Ferdinand he did not actually foul him.

heskey is a striker that has scored 7 goals in 60 odd games.....imagine its 1-0 to spain in ther final Heskey through on their goal ....do you think he would score...im sorry but just because he gives Rooney more space is not a reason for him to play.A top class england striker he is not and he even struggles to get into Aston Villas starting 11.

Just seen the challenge on Drogba that broke his arm and the ssn presenter saying you can see the pain in his expression. I didn't see any difference to the thousands of other times he's gone to ground in the last season.

In my opinion, both Carragher and King are better then Rio anyway.

And Gerrard is much better captain.
