They should get Andy Johnson back in the England team......

[DFF]

James Beattie for England.

[The Future]

Clearly god wants Gerrard and Rooney to play together.

*Call up Danny Welbeck kthnxbye*

[stokeriño]

Agbonlahor's replaced Bent. Yay.

[King Ellis]

Sounds like Crouch is starting, I guess that means Agbonloahor wont get injured until after the first 25 minutes or so.

Derbyshire had a good game for the U-21's, could do worse.....

Isn't Derbyshire doing alright for Olympiakos?

[Scott McFly]

It just goes to show the depth of English striking talent when you get all those injuries and still have someone awesome to call up as a replacement. Scotland's strikers are so inexperienced (9 caps between 4 of them and Kenny Miller with 41) and if any of them drop out I dread to think who we'd have to call in.

[FireDoughnut]

Nacho Novo

[-A-]

Holy shit, Thomas Hitzlsperger has possibly the most flawless accent of any foreigner I've ever heard! They're repeating a few clips of him at a press conference on SSN if anyone hears it.

[Scott McFly]

Nacho Novo

Right now I'd kill to have Nacho Novo in the Scotland squad.

3 goals in 5 games says wiki, I know he scored an important cup goal a few weeks back. I really like Derbyshire, yes I am going to be horribly biased due to his club and where he is from but he is a good goal poacher which, Owen aside, England lack. Then again, you could argue having more well-rounded players is more important. If Derbyshire nailed down a regular place at Rovers or elsewhere he could be a decent outside bet for the WC squad.

EDIT - As a youth player, he joined us and turned down Man Utd. So he is halfway to being as good as Jansen, who turned Man Utd down twice. That worked out for him. >_>

Stop calling up more strikers and just play Gerrard up front for fucks sake

[9 to 5]

No! Blackburn home boys 4 life!

[alldaws1]

Even if Gerrard was to play up front, we should still be calling up replacements otherwise we'd be needlessly down a few players.

Exactly. So, Ebanks Blake anyone?

[Matt]

Just in case Fabio's reading, I have my boots ready.

[Hobo]

Does Paulo DiCanio still play? Him and Almunia for England!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Needs to happen.

He's injured as well though along with every other striker

[ChampPunk]

Australia is first team through to the WC unless something catastrophic happens.
