Jamie Carragher is what English footballers are all about.Tough,skillfull and loyal.Give me a Carragher any time as well as a Gerrard and a Lampard and a Terry.England are going to win the world cup because of players like these.

I think this is a great selection if correct, especially as our local newspaper in Stoke-on-Trent has been lobbying for Phil Taylor's nomination!\n\nI can't think of a British footballer who would merit a nomination this year given England's appalling performance in the World Cup and British club's lack of success in Europe last season.\n\nYes I think footballers are over-rated in comparison to other sports, but they usually dominate these kind of awards because of the huge media exposure given to football.\n\nThe cause of the demise in the game can be traced directly to the amount of money now awash in the game, which has led to a "win at all costs" attitude, and also players who, to put it bluntly, have more money than sense.\n\nThe awards are not devalued for me in any way by no footballer making the final shortlist: it's great that Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe have been recognised, along with Phil Taylor who is undisputably the best ever at his profession.  Credit also to Beth Tweddle as she has something no-one can ever take away from her - Britain's first ever world champion in her sport.  Top marks also to Nicole Cooke for overcoming horrendous injuries when she was knocked off her bike whilst training and going on to win the year-long World Cup.  My two quibbles would be Jensen Button (only won one Grand Prix) and Zara Phillips - like Formula 1 it doesn't matter how good the driver/rider is if the car/horse isn't good enough.  Ms Phillips was lucky enough to be given an excellent horse by its owners.

My favourite team is Liverpool, and I would like to put Thierry Henry in the team. TO me, he's the best player in the world. Moreover, Liverpool is badly in need of a match winner, some1 who can turn the game in one moment. SO, i would like to have Henry in my team.

...yep I like that...especially when the team is not doing so well they could look down at their top for inspiration...I think it would look good. good idea...England could use bigger stars, as they'd have less! lol (-:

Did I just see Beckham and chrarismatic in the same sentence? In the UK, when we used to look with total jealousy at Becks and see this multimillionaire with beautiful wife, gret footballer, good looking etc - our saving grace was when we heard him speak!!

England will win their group most certainly.  I think whoever steps in for Rooney (i.e. Darren Bent, Crouch, Defoe, or even Joe Cole) could step in for him admirably.  He is a great player, but his absence should make the players still around play that much harder!  Keep in mind they have Owen, Gerrard, Lampard, and Joe Cole, guys who never seem to have a hard time finding the net when it is necessary!  I think they will get to at least the quarterfinals, but I am pulling for them to go all the way.

Wake -up call for all present:  Ronaldo was just replaced in the 69th minute.  He's a little overweight and not performing that well.\n\nKlose is now an easy pick seeing as he already has 2 under his belt - no-brainer and #1 favorite.  Same goes for Rosicky.  \n\nCrespo - maybe.\n\nDrogba more than likely won't make it past the next round.  \n\nOwen also left the pitch earlier than planned - as soon as Rooney is healthy again, he can go back to Newcastle for a long vacation.\n\nHenry also needs to make it into the half-finals.  They won't.\n\nRaul maybe\n\nShev maybe\n\nVan Nistelrooy longshot, but feasable\n\nAnd now the player you forgot:  Ronaldinho.  He will win the Golden Boot 2006.

wayne rooney is most likely out of the world cup because of his foot injury,which is said to be even worst than first thoought. but erikisson is still naming him on the sqaud with some hope that he will be ok. it would be really sad if he misses his first world cup with the big boys. as for michael owen he is said to be fit in time for the world cup so don't worry. any more details contact me at sweetasusual_07@yahoo,com. cool

lmao nicely said stephan, i totally agree...as u can see from cockney boys reply he cant really handle the truth so has to start swearing like an imature little kid, and England has no chance of winning the World Cup, coz they suckkkkkkkk and always will....no good players, no good manager...what chance do they have,,,,None....uhh when was the last time England won.....Exactly...i'd deffinately like to see argentina vs england i know for sure who will win that game :D

no walcott is a different type of player...more like Thierry Henry...skilful, fast and graceful. Rooney's game is a power game, he's the natural successor to Alan Shearer... I'd say the better question is - will Walcott eventually replace Michael Owen and be Rooney's permanent partner for England? The answer is likely yes but not for a while.

We all care, but the media are making him out to be the only person who is playing for England who can win the World Cup for us.....if I was playing for England I'd be getting seriously pissed off about it....especially if my name was Michael Owen.

I think it could be David Beckham. His form 's not been great and he is under tremendous pressure to perform.

lol neither.Their both too old and out of shape. I Still cant believe he didnt call up darren bent.This man was fantastic this season.but instead he called up walcott.an unexperienced youth whose yet to play for arsenals senoir team. I wouldve called up darren bent and .....Beattie.That beanstalk(peter crouch) cant even use his size as an advantage when it comes to headers.Thats my Opinion.Good luck England,you need it. Go Brasil.
