Considering they have a population about 10 times bigger than ours that isn't really surprising is it.

Considerig it's our national sport, and that the average American is more concerned about monster truck racing, yes this would be a surprise!

Americans only like sports they are good at, if they win, which they won't, but if they did somehow then we will never hear the end of it.

Behave.

I predicted my own line-up just before it was announced and I had exactly the same team but Crouch for Heskey.

I like it though. Hopefully Crouch will come on and score

Milner and Heskey - great selection.

Would have Hart over Green though

 

[nwgull]

Succesful teams evolve over the tournament, there'll probably be a few changes to this 11 if/when we reach the QFs.

 

[Giraffe]

Looks good to me, don't have to win today anyway. draw will do, build up slowly then tonk the rest.

Although still think we will edge today.

Frank Lampard will be the player of the tournament for England.

 

[murphy's law]

4-1 to England. Rooney 2, Lampard & Heskey.

 

[Beach Hut]

Would have Hart over Green though

Ditto and would have personally preferred Carrick but I am sure many others do not

Oh great Keegan is a pundit

 

[perseus]

Whatever Radio Five says with this team it will be Gerard and Lampard in central midfield. If I was USA I would put five in midfield, three on the two England central midfield players.

Wait for Gerard dribbling sideways across the midfield. I have not got a clue what Capello is up to. Baffled. Results will tell.

 

[auschr]

Cappello waited this long to ruin England's chances, hilarious. Heskey and Rooney, LOL. Gerrard and Lampard pair in the midfield.. LOL. Coppello lost the plot!!
