Has La Liga finished yet? There's still time for Beckham to break his leg in two places.

Ferdinand aside, is this *gasp* the first time England have gone to a major tournament with all their key players fit and available? On the current form of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and Campbell England should be pretty difficult to beat if not exactly scoring a boatload.

well if the midfielders concentrate more on supplying the strikers then it shouldn't be a problem

We will be spared the sight of Danny Mills - that's something to be grateful to Sven for.

My changes would have been Wes Brown or Gareth Barry for P.Neville, Wright-Phillips for Dyer (SWP is really on a roll now and could have been an interesting sub to bring on - doesn't lack confidence, also does anyone else think that Dyer is really fairly ordinary),Parker for Hargreaves and Defoe for Heskey (surely the idea of Emile as an effective international striker is well and truly dead by now - why is he going?)

Dyer has been Dire this season has he not?

if Phil Neville gets injured in the FA Cup final, then Portsmouth's Matthew Taylor should be considered.

Dyer shone on his debut against the mighty Luxembourg - i hope he can recapture that power

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 12:47 (twenty years ago) link

When Gareth Barry was 18 he was in the England Squad, under Sven he has been overlooked/ untried why?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 17 May 2004 12:50 (twenty years ago) link

He tried it on with Nancy.

perhaps Lee Hendrie will re-enter the fray next season

At the moment, England's hopes rest largely on whether Steven Gerrard will be as fucking shit hot as he has been lately. I think he could win it on his own. I mean, look at the top of the Premiership:

1. Arsenal
2. Chelsea
3. Man Utd
4. Gerrard
5. Newcastle

See?

Stay away from Ulrika Jonsson in future

replace Trezeguet by Saha and get Rothen in the starting XI at the expense of one of the DMs.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Am I right in thinking a Sylvestre blunder led to the Swiss goal? Why is Santini still playing him?!?!??!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I know. Resp for two penalties and last night's goal. Only Boumsong could replace him though (Desailly being obv not an option).

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:00 (nineteen years ago) link

The worrying thing about that squad is the continued reliance on Michael Owen to be getting goals. If he's not getting goals then Heskey, Rooney and Vassell aren't exactly goal machines, which is why Defoe should've been in the squad. - Matt DC

You still think so?!

Matt's not doing too well on these threads!

Zat Knight, Fulham's central defender
-- DJ Martian (altmartinu...) (webmail), May 11th, 2004

May 17th 2005 Sven calls Zat Knight into the England squad

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4548587.stm

ha who needs Sven to spot players !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Why is he called Zat? Is it a misprint?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

short for Zataday, as in 'alright for fighting'.

― $V£N! (blueski), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:31 (nineteen years ago) link

No, but seriously, what is Zat name all about?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Yep, if our best six or eight central defenders aren't available, Knight will do to warm the bench.

Just like Shaun Derry, eh Martian?

It must be a great honour knowing you're the best English centreback that isn't Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, John Terry, Jonathan Woodgate, Ledley King, Wes Brown, Jamie Carragher, Matthew Upson or Michael 'five games for Spurs' Dawson.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 18:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Shaun Derry got a big move to play for a club that represents the 3rd largest city in England ;-)
