England Squad to Play Egypt on March 3rd, 2010

joe ledley? where the hell did you get that from. Hes called AARON RAMSEY mate

Yeah, my bad. Got my Welsh wonders mixed up is all.

That’s great — break a leg, get a call-up. One more reason to root against England…

To be fair, it was get a call up, break a leg, then management reconsiders call up but ultimately gives you benefit of doubt.

So it’s not as if it’s a direct reward for breaking Ramsey’s leg.

To be fair it was a fast 50/50 challenge, anything could’ve happened.

And it’s about time some others from ‘lesser’ teams got a chance instead of these pros that are so far up their own …………..

Bobby zamora deserves a call up, i mean honestly give him a run out. Heskey is just losing it now zamora is now the player heskey was.
And that challenge was a freak accident a ugly but not malicious challenge.

baines to start as left back he is the most on form left back in the prem at the momment !

EGYPT WILL WIN ON ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY AT LEAST 1:0 ,2:1 OR 2:0.
BEST WISHES FOR EGYPT .
I HOPE THEY DO IT AGAIN LIKE DEFEATING ITALY.
EGYPT THE FIRST AFRICAN ARABIAN TEAM TO DEFEAT ITALY AND ENGLAND.

…’with a nasty, nasty tackle. It was bad.’ – Daryl do you know anything about this game called football?
It was a fair challenge which if anything was just timed late. It wasn’t malicious and i’m sure he didnt go into the challenge looking to break the lads leg. You yourself could see that from his reaction.

On another note, Joe Hart should be given a go against Egypt. Why not? He’s performed well against tough opposition so far and is far less likely to make mistakes out of the other two keepers Capello has called up.

Jake,

I’ll admit I worded it badly, but I think you misunderstand my meaning. I meant that it looked nasty, as in it was horrible to watch. I didn’t mean it as a judgement on Shawcross or his intentions.

A better phrase would have been “a nasty a nasty collision” I suppose. But still, there was no need for the rhetorical question.

1 of my friends is a cousin of Ramsey and says its a clean break so they can just snap it back together and then we were joking about my if my friend broke his leg we could of just got a hammer and tapped it and it would be better

Shame Zamora’s not in the squad (he’s been excellent this season) but it’s actually great news for Fulham. This friendly falls between a few big games – Spurs in the Cup on Saturday and Juventus in Europe – so we’d much rather have him fresh for those than distracted by an international call-up. He also plays better with something to prove so he might be fired up to show Capello what he’s missed out on.

England will be onared playing with pharos

Hart, Milner, Terry, Upson, Warnock, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Downing, Rooney, Defoe.

That would be my starting 11 against Egypt.. I think Stephen Warnock is finally showing what he can do at Aston Villa and if Ashley Cole dosent make the world cup and with Wayne Bridge in the wilderness, i believe Warnock should get his chance.

Why isn’t your legendary Beck’s captain of the National side? Or do I need to address him as “Golden Balls” ? Oh thats right you can’t have a bench player as Captain – why is he in the team? I wish you all the very best in South Africa – you’ll need it ……….. boy you guys always botch things up when it comes to the crunch. Not even Capello can help you at these Championships.

Beckham resigned the captaincy in 2006 Mudri. Simple as that. He’s in the team because he’s still a decent player.

Mudri stick to Aussie rules mate, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Peter Shilton is a legend but it doesn’t mean we are going to ask him to Captain the national team!!

Beckham is still in the team because the is still the best crosser/long ball passer and dead ball/set pice expert in england and with the height of heskey,crouch,gerrad,terry…etc and Rooney(who nowadays only seems to score with his head)..i think he has to be included.

And some more glaring omissions … no Ashley Young (one of the fastest, fittest and most skilful Englishmen the Premier League has seen) or Aaron Lennon (or is he injured?) Without those 2, there’s a lack of any sizzling pace, other than that of Wright-Phillips, but his form and game time are down. And Joe Cole on a bad day is better than most on a good: a great play-maker and worker. I’d ditch Terry and Heskey – a couple of old has-beens. And put in James Collins, and either Michael Owen or Darren Bent. At least Bent’s scoring goals, 3rd highest tally of the Englishmen in the Premier League. Generally, the team’s looking a bit pedestrian and I’d be sad if this was close to the squad that went to South Africa.

}f.capello: do you agree with me????

sham5347 just a guess but your a spuds fan no?

Dont read too much into that was just to see if i was right.

England have a good base of players this year, alot more competition for places and that really excites me and is the difference to the past few seasons. Cole is decent but in my opionion and most of yours it seems Warnock and BAines both doing the business. I like Baines myself, always had a problem with cole when he was at arsenal yea he bombed fwd but when he recieved the ball from pires all he ever did was pass is straight back to him, baines gets fwd and is a supurb crosser to boot.

Hart has done enough for me so he should play for sure. Milner at right back, is that a long term option no, but i assume FC is testing his versitility at national level, that said J.milner should be on the plane, brilliant season for villa. Ash is a good player but i think he’s going to be a short this time round, im not a huge fan of downing, hes good yes but is he national quality im not sure. Another villa player who i am very dissapointed isnt in the squad for tonight is gabi, he’s a super player, great strength and pace and a decent finish.
Lastly i agree with the mass that Bobby Z should be there, my best mate grew up playing footy with him and says he’s never played as well as he has this season, top chap too. fingers crossed he’ll be given a second look.
good luck tonight, England 3-1 win.
