Imagine not caring whether your country does well or not........cannot get my head around that..deserve to have 'nowhere' next to place of birth with attitudes like that.

We may be utter garbage but by Christ I tell you I support my country fervently in everything it competes in.....nearly as fervently as I'll support A.B.E. this summer!!:smirk:

It runs deeper than that, I'm afraid. Some time ago James Beattie was banging them in for fun. He got an England call up. Did he play? No. He sat on the bench. The commentator then pointed out that James Beattie had scored more goals on his own than the other England strikers combined!

It's a closed shop. Unless you play for Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea you simply won't get a look in.

When Andy Johnson was playing for the Palace he was England's highest goal scorer. Only Thierry Henry scored more then him. AJ eventually got called up for England. Where was he played? On the wing. You couldn't make it up.

Even playing for Arsenal is no guarantee. Look how often they picked (or didn't pick) Ian Wright, who was Arsenals record goal scorer before Henry.
 
This is how it's going to play out. England do not have a bad bunch of players, just not sure they care enough.
Due to us not having any decent strikers, and I include Rooney in this because no England manager has found out how to use him correctly, but a great midfield and defence, all our games will end 0-0 or 1-0 for or against us depending on the ref's. I've got my England top for the three games we are certain to have from Sports Direct for a fiver. Don't expect us to get out of the group but will be in the pub for the games. Wahay! At least we're there !!!!
 
come on, where is the positivity, we can do this !!!:D

'You've got to hold and give but do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast but you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them, get round the back
Now, catch me if you can, 'cos I'm an England man
And what you're looking at is the masterplan
We ain't no hooligans, this ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest, I know we can't go wrong!'

A team should be judged on the quality of it's songs.

Woy's explanation for Oxlade Chamberlains inclusion............


New England manager Roy Hodgson says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s tremendous performance against AC Milan in the Champions League played a big factor in him being selected for the England Euro 2012 squad.

The Arsenal midfielder was one of the surprise inclusions to the 23, after starting just six Premier League matches this season.

“He is a very exciting player who has made an impression on me, not least in his performance against AC Milan at the Emirates,” Hodgson said.

“I was there live and saw how well he dealt with Pirlo and Ambrosini. He can play wide or central and for future and can continue as he started.”

Here are the line ups from that game
