David James STARTS

Should be Hart.
Thats probably the end of Green's England career then, tarnished by one mistake, much like Robinson.
No Loss really.
Good. Green has always looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights when playing for England, I just don't think he's cut out for it. James is more talkative and always telling his defenders what's around them. Green merely whimpers. If that mistake has cost him his England career then GOOD, it was inexcusable.

Correct. He's a nice chap and a decent enough goalie but, as you say, not cut out for international football

So we replace Green (1 MISTAKE) with the above, Hmmm... How did James get his nickname?

How grimly depressing that we're actually RELIEVED at having David James back in goal.

Hart looks like a ten year old schoolboy so he's gonna have to do some serious expanding to be a BIG player at Euro 2012.

I've never seen David James get anywhere bloody near a penalty in an England shirt. Now he's our number one for the rest of the tourny. GAY.

Not at all, he's had a good couple of seasons at Portsmouth. Why not reserve judgement until after tonight's game?

Because I've already had the chance to judge him over his previous 50-odd caps, and he's never more than a brainstorm away from doing something utterly horrific.
Thats not to say I'd have been overjoyed to stick with Green either, but the lack of a world class keeper is a major, MAJOR flaw in this England team, and sadly I think it will cost us in the end. Not necessarily tonight, but somewhere along the line.
The last two semi-finals we've reached in 90 and 96, we've had a SUPERB goalie between the posts who has been on absolutely top form, and that just spreads confidence to the whole team. Its an ESSENTIAL ingredient to have in these tournaments, and unfortunately its something that we are missing now, big time.
With James you know that mistake is coming, its just around the corner.
Saying that I cant think of many, if any Howlers for England?

He's definitely starting. Strange psychology. What happens if he makes a mistake? Hart gets put in knowing he's third choice behind two out of form keepers?

He's often gotten away with it through luck more than judgement, but I do recall a harrowing night in Vienna that we thought at the time had finally brought the curtain down on his England career.
He got back in the squad through default, there's just such a derth of talent now.
Just looking at David James' career stats. He made his professional debut on 25th August 1990, when Joe Hart and Aaron Lennon were 3, and wayne Rooney was only 4 years old.
It is amazing that he has sustained a career at such a high level for so long.

I still recall him being chipped by Raphael Meade at Vicaridge Road.
