For the life of me, i cannot understand how walcott is in the England squad ahead of players like defoe, johnson and beatie.
Like blair, it seems to me that sven is trying to make himself look good, ahead of making our chances the main aim.
Has he ever been 100% behind England?
What do you think?
I think it’s madness that a 17 yr old kid, without a full game for his club got into the squad. England could live to regret the decision if they get an injury to Crouch or Owen, and the only backup is a rookie striker.

England didnt make the decision, but England will suffer the consequences.
To be fair Amph, I don’t think this is one of emma’s rants – she’s posted a few things about footy recently including fantasy teams so I am sure there is no hidden agenda here.
I don’t think for one minute he would have chosen Walcott had he been staying in the job – I guess he figured he had nothing to prove and nothing to lose. He may even throw everything into attack instead of adopting the stupid defensive attitude that doesn’t suit the players. And if England win the World Cup playing exciting attacking football then fair play to them. I will be emigrating tho as life will be unbearable ;) I still think he will feck it up and get cautious as the big prize gets within reach!
hes fast, hes explosive, the fact that teams don’nt know much about him is probably the reason why he is there, and why he did’nt figure much in the friendlys
imagine if he comes off the bench and scores the winner against germany
sven will be knighted.. and probably the press will be begging at his knees to stay
he has nothing to lose
there is a young kid also at everton.. scored on the last day of the season, wondered if sven thought about him too?
Experience is everything.
Rooney in 2004 and Owen in 98 were young, but they’d played Premiership games.@Bad Manners wrote:

read the original post and the first reply from him/her again. Are there not particular, not very subtle undertones?
Im certainly against a foreigner being England manager, but only because i believe that to have all the qualifications necessary, you have to be English and KNOW what it means to win for the English.
Sven doesn’t come from Basildon so how can he be behind England? That sort of thing. There is what you say and there is what you mean.
Read the original post again, its about picking the best available, not trying to assert ones self as someone who did good, above the prospects of the teams pottential success.
Svens fond farewell to the fa could well be leading england to the world cup final, i think he would love to do that more so, picture the headlines
no think about it, put yourself in his shoes
you been told you won’t have a job come the end of the world cup
would you have a not care attitude, or would you wanna prove people wrong?
i guess it depends on your personailty, I know what i would want to do, but i’m only 20 somthing, what do i know?
