I agree with GreekFreak. Sven’s got something else up his sleeve besides a World Cup victory.

Sven always seems to pick one useless midfielder…I just figured that Jermaine Jenas was more than enough to fill that spot this time. I’d have dropped one of them and taken another striker instead.

Erikkson has sacrificed Wright-Phillips to accomodate his “Capitano” Beckham. He has other wingers in the team , but Shaun is a class act on the right wing. He might not have shone for Chelsea this season , but that is due to the excess of quality players that the club possess. Hargreaves and Carrick are defensive midfielders whereas Wright- Phillips is a pocket dynamo with pace and skill.
England might rue their selection blunder if they capitulate at the WC.

Don’t quite get all the Owen H bashing. He’s not the top player in the squad but he’s no worse than SWP at the moment. SWP has really gone off the boil and I have to say going to Chelski was the worst move he ever made. Plus Owen H can cover some defensive spots too. I’d have taken Defoe over Hargreaves but ot SWP.

I totally agree; Hargreaves is far from a bad player, but he’s a bit blah to have on the squad as a starter.

As for the exclusion of Shaun Wright-Phillips, could it be that Eriksson in his heart of hearts is sabotaging the team on his way out?

Leaving that talented young lad out of your squad when you’ve got very few quality sprinters is a boneheaded move.
