As everybody living in the UK knows, England begin the tournament against the USA on June 12th. The England 23 man squad was revealed today.
[B]Goalkeepers[/B]: Robert Green, Joe Hart, David James
[B]Defenders[/B]: Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock
[B]Midfielders[/B]: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips
[B]Forwards[/B]: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney
Many people have voiced their suprise that Emile Heskey was chosen over Darren Bent, last season's 3rd highest top scorer in the Barclays Premier League.
UPDATE: Rio Ferdinand will miss the World Cup due to a knee injury, Michael Dawson has flown to South Africa to replace him.
Lose.

Scotland

Amen to that.
Come on England!
I really hope we go far this time or even win.
Glad Milner made it.
Now I just hope he doesn't move to Man City, Villa needs him.
I hope Mexico wins because Mexico is cool.
Come on whoever England play.
Heskey is so fucking slow and shit, he's had his day, fuck off and give Bent that place.

What the majority of people including myself have said, especially because I'm a Sunderland fan and he's done well for us so far.
Can't believe Heskey's going in place of Bent/Walcott.
Obviously I hope I'm reaaalllly wrong, but part of me wants to see him fuck up our best chance of beating someone.
See what his suitors have to say then...

I honeslty couldn't care less who wins. I'm not interested in football.

Come on England!
We're gunna lose, like always.
Rooney!
United > England

Prepare to get your asses kicked.

Amen to that
come on wazza!
heskey is an absolutly pathetic excuse for a player, i'd have much prefered bent or even agbonlahor but still, walcott didn't really deserve a place and i'm an arsenal fan, he's been shocking in the friendly's
England has a strong squad like always ;)
I obviously hope Holland wins though :D
I think it's pathetic how just a few months ago people were at Old Trafford yelling at Rooney, calling him a fat bastard etc. and now everyone is relying on him to win us the world cup.
United > England

You can hope but it'll never happen.
People are complaining here about the brazillian football team aswell.
I don't really know much about football, since all the games i watch are the world cups, and even these, rarely.
But people say we won't make it this time, so i'm hopping all other teams are worse, so thank you for doing your part England. :v:
