Is there much point in taking Gerrard and Lampard? It's not like with them in the squad we'll win the damn thing, so I can't help but think we should just bring in another couple of youths and blood them in international football now.
Re: our performance. I think a lot will rest on the first game. If we can get a result against Italy then I think we'll probably get through the group with 5+ points. Then we'll beat whoever we face in the Ro16 because Group D is laughable. Then we'll get spanked out of sight by either Brazil/Spain or the Netherlands.
If we lose against Italy then we'll have to chase against Uruguay and get ripped to shreds on the counter-attack and go out after two games.
Still, it should be nice to watch a tournament without the hyping up of our chances.

Dutch won't get out of their group. Chile will beat them.

Have to say I am surprised that Almunia didn't make the England squad given that he was hailed as "World Class" not so long back.
On keepers, Ruddy a little unfortunate to not get a shout - we could do worse than grab him off Norwich as competition for no1 , particularly with the Canaries getting relegated.

If Red Member gets the England job after Woy we can still live in hope

During the Man City game we drew the guy on my left was just screaming 'LESBIAN', above the roar the Clock End was producing, every time Nasri attacked on our end. I was in stitches

England and Uruguay through from your group. France have an armchair ride to the quarters.
You guys should be more confident. With Chile, Spain and the Dutch and no one that can score other than headers we will call it a success if we score one goal. The Aussies will be home before their postcards.
Uruguay, Belgium to be the darkhorses for the tournament.

Reminds me of the time on Mock The Week that Frankie Boyle said "I'm not a dwarf, I'm a lesbian!" and I kept thinking, "hmmm... now I know who SPUDMASHER really is..."
