Group C Discussion - Algeria, England, Slovenia, Usa

[Mr. E]

BBC suggesting that England are going to start with: Green, Johnson, King, Terry, A Cole, Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, Milner, Heskey, Rooney

which would be the worst team anyone could possibly conceive of.

Green is quite easily the weakest of the three goalkeepers.

Milner is a good player, only little problem is he is a right or central midfielder, not left.

Heskey - might as well be starting with 10 men. He is one of the most useless players in the Premiership, let alone the England squad.

Sky reckon that Rob Green starts in goal.

I'm just warming up by watching England v France at rugby league. I doubt the footy will be anywhere near as easy!

Suprised if that is acurate,

Still, 2-0 England, both goals from open play.

Heskey - might as well be starting with 10 men. He is one of the most useless players in the Premiership, let alone the England squad.

Heskey will serve his purpose at the WC and upset a few defenders.

England might get away with it because its the USA (no disrespect to our American friends). A central midfield of Lampard and Gerrard just doesn't work, especially against quality opposition. I wonder if Gerrard will actually play on the left and milner in the middle if that is the team. If we were playing a Spain or a Brazil with that midfield i don't think they would stand a chance.

[Mr. E]

Heskey can do absolutely nothing that Crouch can't do. Only difference is Crouch is a solid player who can score goals. Heskey barely even gets a game at Aston Villa, yet he starts for England at the World Cup? I mean, is Capello joking around or something?

Without the slightest exaggeration, I would rather start with Benni McCarthy in his current state than Heskey. I'd take any of North Korea's players over Heskey. David James upfront won't be a worse option. I really can't believe this.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Heskey is going to score tonight.

I've convinced myself that all these years Heskey has been playing a joke and he's actually better than Pele. Tonight is the night he will prove that to us all.

Thanks

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Missed the goal because ITV HD decided to go to an advert break during the game. When they came back to the match we were 1-0 up.

Never been so angry yet happy in all my life!

[ewoodpo]

Oooh yanks should have scored , what is going on at the back.

[philipl]

England are all at sea at the back

[Iceman]

English and Yanks blowing those Vuvuzelas

[philipl]

Green should not be in goal!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Un-fudging-believable.

[Rover Down Under]

That's what you get for not picking Robinson Capello you fudging dick.

[ewoodpo]

The plonker this is why Robbo should have gone. Come on England

[Amo]

Yeah, 'cos Robbo's never made a clanger.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Beckham is thinking "you ###### dick"

[philipl]

But Robbo is the better all round keeper

[SouthAussieRover]

How the hell are England third favourites?

I'd like to blame the foghorns for Green's howler but that would be unfair.

[Iceman]

Robbo had the better season, forget that he also made a clanger. All keepers go through that. No way, that Green should have gone.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

England are sh 1t. End of.
