O/T The England Thread

[Papercut]

What happened to all the Swansea players that were going to be picked? I'd have thought Dyer would have at least been ahead of Walcott?

Maybe if he played for arsenal

 

[markysimmo]

looking at that squad makes you realise that we have a cat in hells chance of winning anything. Just how much brick can you squeeze into a squad? Stewart Downing ffs

and why on earth would harry give up Spurs for that brick...

its his density.......

Its a bit like calling Ireland, 'Eire' or "the Republic"

Not really. Holland is actually only a part of the Netherlands. So it's more akin to the calling the UK "England."

exactly

and i beleive its generally accepted by the dutch that Holland is used to mean The Netherlands casually also
they certainly use it!

Walcott and Downing over Lennon, Chamberlain and Dyer is laughable.

 

[markysimmo]

Walcott will get 80 plus caps on the back of that hatrick against Croatia, he is the modern day John Barnes

I've never known this, very interesting! what are the other parts?

 

[Howard Webb]

where the feck is Caulker?

where the feck is Caulker?

In the U21s

 

[totman]

Walcott is Englands Goonersaurus.

I've never known this, very interesting! what are the other parts?

Drenthe, Flevoland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Limburg, North Brabant, Overijssel, Utrecht and Zeeland. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Haarlem and the Hague are all in North or South Holland, which is why they are best known.

Boring England! Time for a change!

Change the red to navy blue and you might have something. But is it just me or are so many recent England kits sooooooooooo Dull and lifeless, very much a true representation of the team, i wonder if its intentional. I think time for Umbro to do one! What happend to Admiral? Some of my favourites here.

You seen the new Goalkeeper shirt? Should be our away top not the goalie one

i know what you're trying to say, but at least Barnes was a wonderful player away from England. Walcott is just rubbish full stop.

 

[elyid]

They used to have some reasonable 'special edition kits/tops' in England Store, but what gets me is the prices are crazy for such simple tops.

???
who picked this squad - Rainman?

Pretty much, Yup.

 

[indianspur]

great player, brick manager

cannot believe Pearce and Noel Blake are involved in coaching young England players
