Thoughts on England and Egypt squads for midweek friendly

England

Goalkeepers: James (Portsmouth), Green (West Ham), Hart (Birmingham)

Defenders: Brown (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (West Ham), Lescott (Man City), Shawcross (Stoke), Baines (Everton), Warnock (Aston Villa)

Midfielders: Milner (Aston Villa), Beckham (AC Milan), Walcott (Arsenal), Lampard (Chelsea), Barry (Man City), Gerrard (Liverpool), Carrick (Man Utd), Wright-Phillips (Man City), Downing (Aston Villa)

Forwards: Heskey (Aston Villa), Defoe (Tottenham), Rooney (Man Utd), Crouch (Tottenham), C Cole (West Ham)

This is a mixed bag, with obvious problems in defence and between the sticks.
