Defoe is a very lucky man - as much as i rate the player - i dont think he deserves to go to Germany..!!

I'd still have taken Darren Bent ahead of Walcott, Defoe and Andy Johnson - if being top english goal scorer in the premiership doesnt warrant you a place in the squad, i dont know what will..!!


Lennon, Defoe, Walcott and Hargreaves - 4 spaces wasted


I'd have taken, Shaun Wright Philips, Bent, Harewood and Kevin Nolan!!!


Shaun Wright Philips is 10 times better than Lennon!! and more experienced!!! Even Pennant is better than Lennon!! Lennon had a good few weeks towards the end of the season and thats about it - he's defo got pace but i dont think he deserves to be there just yet....


Bent - see above


Harewood - 14 goals in the premiership compared to Theo's NILL appearance let alone goals!!

Kevin Nolan - very good attacking midfielder!!! scored lots of goals


these are names off the top of my head


What are your predictions for the Paraguay game? i think a 1-1 draw.....

Rafa: sorry but you're completely mad.....SWP is stupid and got what he deserved when he took money over personal progress..... and as Much as I'm a Gunner, I felt Dafoe fully deserves to go Germany

He got what he deserved i agree - but he's a better player than Lennon!!!

I'd say Defoe probably deserves to go now for solely not getting his chance before when he truly deserved it(if im making sense).... but nothing i've seen from Defoe this season suggests he deserves to go to Germany..!! Bent deserved his chance imho more than Walcott and Defoe!!!

I agree that Bent has been hard done by..personally I would not be taking Walcott, that makes no sense to me....neither does taking a chance on the injured Rooney....

Don't know the others, but Dafoe deserves to be there......N also still think Crouch will be sh*t on the WC. Bent should have been there......

Have to agree with Kunjufu about Swp he didn't deserve to go. I don't think Walcott or Hargreaves should be going either. Im mystified by the decision not to take Bent. he was the top english goal scorer for this season, Andy Johnson considered ahead of him???!!! Doesnt make sense to me.

Think Defoe's there on the basis of the last two season's form....if it were just this season then Darren Bent has a stronger case, though we'll see how he does next year...at the moment I think Defoe's the better player whilst he lacks some of Bent's strengths, and is not in the best form....

My sympathies go to Ledley King, and not just because he's a Spud.....when fit I'd take him over Hargreaves any day....

Makes perfect sense.

The England team has a rule not to have too many black players.



They will fail miserably regardless.....The fact that they're worried about playing Germany in the next round even when they are as bad as they are says alot. Poland are probably the better team.

Lennon deserves to be there. He is taking the spot that should have been SWPs if SWP would have stayed at Man City. Why he thought that adding his name to the Robben, Duff, Cole fray would benefit him confused3

Lennon has terrorized people this year and give England a right back who can beat people on the dribble and square the ball in the box, Becks can only swing one in. Lennon would make a perfect partner with Rooney, where as Becks is better for the Crouch. I can see the logic behind that one.

Now how in the hell Defoe got in there is a wonder to me. I have not seen anything from him on the international level and would have taken my chances with the EPL top English scorer who is just as fast and twice as strong and tall. Bent can fly and is decent in the air and on the ground. I keep telling you guys that Sven is trying to sabotage you LOL

Correct me if im wrong but i'm sure there was one England game (When Sven was fairly new to the job) where at one point the number of black players on the pitch outnumbered the white players. It has never happened since so I'm sure the powers that be had a gentle word in Sven's ear, lol.
