Ronaldo

GK - Green, Foster, James (through gritted teeth) DEF - Johnson, Ferdinand, Terry, Upson, Richards, Lescott, Cole, Bridge MID - Lennon, Barry, Lampard, Carrick, Gerrard, J Cole, Young, Walcott FWD - Rooney, Defoe, Agbonlahor, Heskey/Crouch - whoever has the best season

Danny Simpson will get anihilated by Chopra. Did you miss the Huddersfield game?

In that case, Cole on the other side to help Johnson out sounds like a plan, not ideal, but better than Lennon giving him protection

Which will probably be Joe Cole. Him and Ashley on the same side will cause problems

Surely Vuckic will get on ahead of Lua Lua though

Joe Cole is clearly the better player tbh.

Butt on the bech ahead of Vuckic :dowie:

He was bloody woeful man Edgar looked a lot more assured on the ball, and that's saying something

Hilarious As it happens, it'd be Lampard and Carrick/Hargreaves for me

it's almost 3 years to be fair. The leeds fans think he's absolutely woeful and they're right, he had no business playing football at the level he did

Carroll is hardly the most experienced striker in the world is he? And Lovenkrands will still be trying to get his fitness up, as he hasn't played any games since May. lets not get silly and forget the the Leicester game represented our weakest attacking performance. If Lovenkrands does well in training, then yeah, start him

Right now i'd probably have Cole on the left, Gerrard/Young/Lennon on the right

I'd happily start Carroll and Vuckic, or one of them with Nolan Ranger and Vuckic have 1 start between them, not a good idea to go with that against one of the best teams in the league

Bobby Moncur is such a fence-sitter, it's embarrassing Hughton

this

"have already caught the attention of AC Milan no less" Didn't they let him go in the first place?

hatrick for Nimar, 4-2 Brazil. Him and Baptista have been brilliant tonight

Home, then away to Uruguay

That's not really deep s*** though. They'll beat Uruguay, and Colombia won't beat both Chile and Paraguay, imo. I can't see them beating anyone right now

I'd like to see Rooney, Defore, Agbonlahor and one of Crouch/Heskey go.

Loving Brazil-Chile. 2-2 now, what a game

Veron sent off, I wish this rubbish could end so I could watch Brazil

very original Argentina have 3 or 4 great players but I honestly couldn't care less about seeing them at the world cup, it'll serve them and their cuntish country right

Argentina aren't one of the best teams

Favorite?? Really? If we're talking bookie's odds then it's nothing to do with the team at all, just our blind optimism. Spain will be favorites, surely. We have never got past quarter finals in the last 70 years. I fully expect us to go back to our usual bottling ways. Brazil looks like a meat grinding machine tbh.
