When I answer a question, I usually look at what the people have answered, so I don't repeat what someone else has said. And that made me read that someone said Beckham is over rated. I just have to say that Beckham is not rated anymore, to be over rated. He is only making that money because it is in his contract from years ago. If he didn't have a contract, he wouldn't be making anything right now. So he is absolutely not over rated, because no one will let him play.\nNow I do agree with the Shrek comment. because That kid can not play ball anymore. he had like 10 chances this past week, and didn't do anything with the ball. I don't think he could have hit the net if he was standing inside the goal posts. And he hasn't scored for the English National team for over 2 years!\n(we are talking about Rooney, for those pople who do not know)\nSo I think he is over rated. And speaking of Man U. I think they underrated Ruud van Nistelrooy, when they sold him, just look at what he is doing in Real Madrid. Same team where Beckham is sitting on the bench!

England? they are overrated \n\nhow can u have so many superstars and win every game 1-0\n\nAnd if David Beckham is your top scorer, that is pretty sad\n\ni dont think that Lampard and Gerrard play good together,\n\nboth of them love to attack, and score goals,\n\nof corse Gerrard is more Expierienced so he will sit back and try to defend while Lampard goes forward.\n\nu need only 1 of them playing at a time and maybe put hargreaves in their to even things out.\n\nbut England have too many superstars and will lose their next game.

I agree i heard that a few days after.... If you have the power to look back at the footage its only black players going mad at him... Even Wright-Philips... Also In Rio Ferdinands book he talks of a KNOWN racist in the england team but dosnt mention any names.... Terry has been violated for race on the pitch before.... I beleive that is the exact reason he was sent off.....\n\n\nYID ARMY!!!

One of the most terrible moves made by Mourinho. Yes it might work out for the first few weeks, but Lampard will have to be substituted off just to put Ballack. Cole hasn't been on many starting line-ups as he use to. Lampard and Cole would not like that. They will want to be played more often or if not want their contracts with Chelsea terminated. Believe me Mourinho will regret it. Plus Chelsea have enough midfielders to start another team.

They still have a chance because the rest of the team is good, but with Rooney out, Owen hurting, England doesn't have too many scoring options left, which means players like Lampard, Gerrard, and Joe Cole are going to have to step up and provide that scoring touch they exhibited during the season at their respective clubs. This might mean that they will play alot of low scoring games.

John Terry: "I was aware of the booing when Owen came on against Paraguay and that was disappointing."\n\nSo I guess they did boo him...

I think if luck goes our way for once, and our best players remain fit then we have a cracking chance of winning the World Cup. Wayne Rooney is a-list, as we all know.  However, England have other superb players, who can shine on the World Stage. Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Cole, the list goes on. So may of our best players have had really good seasons, and won trophies. I think that Owen will be a massive hero this summer. Come on!

Well I watched the England celeb's v England legends that was played at Craven Cottage yesterday, and I have to say, the celeb's looked quite good, but the legends were excellent. They countered the better fitness of the younger celeb team, by exceptional positional play, and silky skills, and they linked up very well together, especially as some had never played with each other before. Beardsley looked dangerous enough that he should still be in the Premiership, and Seaman probably kept them from winning easily with some great first half saves.\nIf the rest of the world can link up together like legends did, I am sorry to say, but I think ROW should do it.\n(P.S - Send Beardsley to partner Owen in Rooney is not fit!!)

i've been an England fan all of my life but you have to be realistic folks.  Yes i would love nothing better than England to win the World Cup but it will not happen in 2006.  We do have a good team, but i just don't believe we have a world class english goalkeeper.  And i'm not sure what Sven is doing picking only 5 strikers with 2 of them injured right now and 1 of them has never played a premiership game - shouldn't Theo have been called up in a friendly seeing as that's what they are for - EXPERIMENTATION!!!!\nGranted we have quite a few strikers in the premiership who could be backup to Rooney and Owen but they weren't chosen because of their poor form - but forgive me if i'm wrong, no matter how good a striker's form, they always find it tough adapting to playing for the national side.  A lot of good strikers have failed to score at international level even at the top of their form at club level.\nI believe England will reach the Quarter finals and get knocked out by the winners of the World Cup.\nThere's my prediction.  i'm begging you Sven please prove me wrong, but then again what do you care, you're leaving anyway.

ROOONEY!!!!!!!.... its all kitted out in the England kit....forget my avatar.... i am wearin it myself... , my car is carryin the flag...... my work is adorned....... damn I'm even wearin England boxer shorts........ cm-on the boys!!!!!!!!!\n\n\nOK I'm back.....\nwell i see Sven is up to his old tricks....after our recent performances i almost forgot how bad he was..... has there ever been a manager that made worst substitutions? Owen for downing?.... downings a great player... but what a strange thing to do.... cos he knows he made a mistake with walcott and has no other striker option... where is bent?...what more do you have to do to get on the side than be the highest British goalscorer in the premiership (playin for a mediocre side at that)?...... of course we got the obligatory hargreaves....who?...i hear you all say....blah blah blah.....

Steven Gerrard or John Terry. Steven Gerrard has the most heart whenever he plays and that is what england needs. And did you watch last year's Champion's League finals? John Terry would not have been able tp stage that kind of a come-back!

I think Crouch is used as a sneaky alternative. He's relatively new and he is a bit rubbish, and other people have clocked on, but with accurate long balls from people like Beckham, they reach Crouch's head and if he's lucky he can direct the header in the path of someone who can score with their feet, or in the back of the net. \nI think owen is their best striker and rooney is the best at assisting owen in a strike partnership as he sort of connects midfield with attack.\nSo, I think Crouch should really just be used as a sub and to suprise people, that's all.

john terry maybe marginally better than puyol considering the fine job he has been doing for chelsea for some long time now. yes, questions may arise but i go for terry.

David Beckham is  a world class player, whence the reason he's playing for the greatest club in Europe. Mclarren was right to drop him at the time, as his form was poor, but to banish him from the setup is disgraceful. Beckham has still loads to offer, which makes me think that this decision was a personal one. \nMichael Owen statistically is already a goal scoring legend, currently joint fourth all-time English goal scorer tells you how prolific he has been over the years. since his injury nobody has stepped in and made the position their own. Michael will comeback and become Englands alltime record goalscorer that's for sure!!\npotentionally Walcott has the world at his feet, Arsenal are  slowly introducing him to the demands of professional football at the highest level. They are nursing a wonderful talent. This boy has unbelievable pace who leaves defenders standing and an ability beyond his years to score goals. He will be a key member in the England side that goes to Euro 2008.\nYes John Terry is a born leader. Currently one of the best centre backs in the world. JT has every attribute. He's strong, well organised , good in the air, brave and also has a unique ability to score goals at vital times. A true captain!

Sven Has really done it wrong you are right \nnow englandis suffering with no forwards,bent who played well has been overlooked and even defoe is out,walcott how did he come in he did not en=ven play a match,beckham may get to hold the cup if crouch and other england players manage to hold  on till owen and rooney makes a comeback\nthen england may go to win the world cup,even if they dont have rooney and owen for a while they do have lampard an agressive midfielder,joe cole another good midfielder,gerrard good schemer,beckham to supply crouch and walcott with good passes and crosses.\nengland have it all i think they can win the world cup man cheer up.\njoin my yahoo soccer group -  soccer_24x7 for more cool info

loads of prem teams tried to sign hargreaves as a junior so managers must rate him. the only player in the squad to play holding role for his club and also right back, we dont really have a natrual understudy foe nev. carragher does brilliantly wherever and should be first choice alongside terry. hargreaves is a good squad player but carrick would be my pick because of his passing he just needs to be more aggressive.
