2014 World Cup

[fordysufc]

Well, we are just a month away now and the England squad of 23+7 reserves has been announced. And as predicted, it makes for some pretty unpleasant reading with the likes of Smalling and Milner making the cut.

The biggest joke of all is Lampard...this bloke has made a career from having a famous dad and knowing the right people in the right places...other jokers are Milner, Johnson and Jones...Is Jones really a United player?...how'd he manage that? Johnson is a defensive liability, with zero control..........Milner...slow,lethargic and looks like his head is too heavy to carry!...hold the back page!!...Hodgson says Lampard is there for his leadership qualities!!.....mmmmm....where were they during the last five tournaments?

Can't believe he didn't pick Walker, Roy must be sure that he will be unfit for the world cup.

completely agree,if we start with Gerard and Lampard in the middle I'm not even bothering watching it.

I think it could be the closest group out the lot!

The sooner they get back and Hodgson is sacked the better........

All joking aside though.....Ross Barkley, now there is a real genuine world class player in the making. What a player. I would imagine Luke Shaw is going to be in the same mould soon aswell.

Yeah, Sterling is going to be a star as well. Stones and Flanagan have looked really good this year as well and lets not forget Wickham's end to the season, you could say he saved Sunderland.
