England – A Whole World (Cup) of Trouble?

Back in November we looked at England's potential squad the definites, possibles, maybes, and no-ways and it looked pretty rosy, pretty balanced. Fast forward three months and it has a whole different, far more worrying appearance...

You can read the initial article by clicking here but here is the squad we thought (at that time) would go:

David James, Rob Green, Paul Robinson

Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Joleon Lescott, Matthew Upson, Glen Johnson, Wes Brown

Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, David Beckham, Aaron Lennon, Theo Walcott

Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Jermaine Defoe, Peter Crouch

Let's look at these in detail.
