Matt Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Greg O'Keeffe @GregOK 18s Baines, Jagielka and surprisingly Jack Rodwell all in England squad for friendly V Italy #EFC What the hell is Rodwell doing there? I heard Terry is going to be left out too as Woy looks to select an experimental squad. http://www.thefa.com...med-italy-berne looks like a better team selection than the Euro squad to be honest! edit: Id be going with .........................Ruddy.........................

marcopaulo Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 rodwell there cos it's experimental i guess...can't think of any other young midfielders really? he didn't look out of place playin last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 rodwell there cos it's experimental i guess...can't think of any other young midfielders really? he didn't look out of place playin last time Henderson Don't see why Carrick and Defoe are in there, as I can't see them having an England career in 2 years time.

MikeO Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Experimental, looking at players he wouldn't normally pick for a starting XI is good. How do MIlner & Young fit into that ethos though? He know's they're both total shite from the Euros.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 according to talksport this is rodwell's first england call up...wonder why they get called talkshite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Cant believe Livermore is in there! He looks distinctly average every time I see him play... If he played for Wigan I bet he wouldnt be in the squad! I just hope all our lads come back fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been who you play for, rather than how you play. One reason I've always struggled to support the nation is this piss poor policy.

When I was a kid I didnt used to care and always supported England, but as I get older the more I only care about Everton!

marcopaulo Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 the only youngster at liverpool i slightly rate is kelly..beyond that the rest are overrated..they're so desperate for the next gerrard/carragher pete0 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Damn it, it was only about a few weeks ago they played each other at the European championships, and now, another friendly game, too many of these damn internationals on the soccer calendar I'm afraid, and most people see them as pointless exercises or just a feeling of apathy. Hard to argue. It's club over country for most people you'll always find. What would you rather have, the national side to win a trophy, or Everton to win a League championship?

Dalziel Kane Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 What I don't like is saturation coverage of England soccer games or they appear so frequently even, far too many about now, and all rather trivial and pointless as expressed by so many fans you'll never fail to notice, just an opportunity to blood a few youngsters maybe or try a different set up but far too frequent an occasion is what they are. Depends what Sport also, that covers a lot of ground, I think my sporting interests have merely declined as the years have gone by, just maybe lost some enthusiasm somewhere along the way.

marcopaulo Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 it's not just england that have friendlies you know...other teams do also..but you live in fuckin england..the reason people talk about them is cos they're fuckin england...that's how it is..if we were in america they'd tell us usa are playin someone also..but we're not..you know where we are? fuckin england..that is why it is saturated as you say...fuck me..sorry long day..but don't bitch about summat so fuckin trivial when you live in this country..you're gonna hear about our sports cos we are proud of our sports..if you don't like it..don't listen..it's fuckin simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
