just reading around the various footy sites and forums and was wondering what people opinions are on our (and by that i mean england lol) chances are at the world cup??
IMO i think we may struggle, we have the right manager but we havent got the players. i mean personally i think we look really weak all over. if u really think bout it and analyse the first 11 and squad as a whole we look poor..
goalkeeper, left back with cole injured, left wing, right wing & tht one spot up front next to rooney, we look well short tbh.. apart from rooney our players havent really performed for their teams..
terry havin a stinker of season by his standards, rio hasnt been able to stay fit, gerrard & lumplard cant play together & have been poor and our backup doesnt look good either... even johnson at right back doesnt fill me with confidence.. lennon/swp/walcott, either injured or inconsistent. becks/owen out. joe cole wont make if he isnt playing for chelski, dont think hargreaves will make it and the list goes on with the likes of barry, carrick, upson etc...
u look at spain who are the favourites and look at the players: villa, torres, silva, alonso, fabregas, iniesta, xavi, puyol, ramos, casillas etc and i just think we look desperately short tbh.
i know it depends on how the teams plays/gels at the tournament, morale of the squad, luck of the draw, luck in general etc but i dunno.. i think capello with the world cup squad of 2006 woulda done well and gone far.
so what d'ya think guys?
