Sturridge > Carroll

Can't believe the squad that Terry chose

He left out Richards?

Only 7 defenders, I see. 3 of whom are pure wingbacks. One is a 19 year old utility player? IS he mad?

Also... No Smalling?

Senatore_M84 · May 16, 2012

I think england is generally short on talent for euros anyway but the call ups make no sense?

There is a much bigger list than just Sturridge that are better than Carrol. You could pick at least 5-8 English strikers that are all better than him.

True.

Nothings changed with that team. Another tournament where England will be unable to keep the ball for longer than 2 minutes at a time :lol:

Don't see what Phil Jones has done to be selected either. Richards is better at RB, and can you imagine Jones playing at CB against Spain, Holland or Portugal? :fp:

I was looking forward to the Euros because if could have been a team I liked, but not now. I'll only give a toss from a United stand now. Hope Welbeck in particular has a good tournament. Don't care what Rooney does. Don't like the guy apart from when he's playing for United.

Smalling and Walker are injured.

Kalac#16 · May 16, 2012

Oh and as for Ferdinand, it could well be that he doesn't want a Ledley King type situation, which Ferdinand essentially is now.

Ash · May 16, 2012

How in the world does Phil Jones get in ahead of Chris Smalling? :fp:

Hodgson is every bit the idiot I thought he was

Senatore_M84 · May 16, 2012

i still can't get over that pirlo/ambrosini quote :lol:

He can't be serious. And you all wonder why people who aren't epl fans dislike england?

Or it maybe cauz Ferdinand can't stand Terry :lol:

jammin · May 16, 2012

is Kyle Walker out for the tournament?

so Glen Johnson then? :lol:

I think Smalling's injured, although there's still many better candidates than Jones. Some his performances in the second half of the season were pretty bad.

Senatore_M84 said:

Many United fans dislike them just as much.

manutd fan · May 16, 2012

Keepers:
Joe Hart, Robert Green, John Ruddy

Smalling is injured, as is Walker. Richards is still better than Jones though.

Rio has played 3 times in a week often. Anyway most teams rotate a bit in the tournaments. How many Spanish players started every game when they won the Euros?

Even English people dislike the English national team.

they used same lineup from knockouts on.

usually teams try to win first 2, so they can rest 3rd, and then go with set lineup on.

Changes come with suspension or injury. Rarely see more than 1-2 change if a manager can avoid it.

Kenny Dalglish leaves post as Manager.

manutd fan · May 16, 2012

Even though I'm glad they didn't, if Hodgson didn't try for Scholes he should be shot. I can see a midfield of Scholes, Carrick and Milner working well together.

I've got a feeling Hodgson will stick Welbeck on the left, which will piss me off.

He didn't leave, he was sacked.

:lol:

Zlatan > England squad. :lol:

KujaIX · May 16, 2012

Guys, just because Hodgson didn't call up Ferdinand... cut him some slack ffs.

He obviously made what he considered the best judgement... if he was gonna bring Ferdinand then the Chelsea fans would be in the exact same boat as you.

Overall, who freaking cares? Wow!! Hodgson didn't call up the CB from my club :cry:

Get the fuck over it. I don't agree with every decision the English FA and the manager make, but I still support them nonetheless.

From this forum the ManUtd fans are so bitter. "Waaaah I don't like England because he called up Terry!! Wwuuuaaaaaaahhh"

My god.

Just another United fan expressing my dismay at the sacking of Kenny

On a more positive note, bring back Rafa!

Noooooooo! Send him to Intermerda! We want some fun. :lol:

Some transfer news:

Hazard's brother has said on twitter that he is going to City.
Kagawa confirmed that he and his agent met Fergie at Old Trafford yesterday.

Sage · May 16, 2012

I generally think roy hodgson is a very good manager, but his selection is :fp:

worthy.

he didn't pick carrick who is pretty much the best CM in england, richards should have been called up as well.

ferdinand should have been called up instead of jones.

oxlade? really? downing :lol:

crouch deserves to be called up IMO.

looks like zlatan is going to play in the quarters :cool:

you see the problem in England is they have so many good players (so they think

), but they play good only when are alongside Irish & Scottish

3/4 hilarious decisions and quotes, but in general the core is what's expected anyway. That Pirlo quote is hilarious, anyway - I get Jones going for the experience (and he's versatile) but he should also have taken Smalling in that case... or Smalling instead...

crazy4milan · May 16, 2012

Confusing Pirlo and Ambro with Nocerino and Urby happens ALL the time, same as confusing 2008 Milan facing 2012 Arsenal, common mistakes.
