There is a lack of good centre halves to play alongside Puyol imo, Del Horno of Bilbao should get to play left back now, he's a huge talent, Right back to Manuel Pablo or someone similar, but I dunno who i'd choose alongside Puyol at centre-back, there is a lack of them that I can think of, from the well known clubs at least
what is wrong with the england defense apart from ferdinand missing. It looks pretty solid to me.
john terry is in prime form just now.

Gary Neville.
Plus Cole if he starts with him, Bridge should be left back.
But what i meant was with injuries and rio, it meant that bout 3/4 great defenders were not in our squad

He wasn't even used in WCH 2002... and his season wasn't the best either. I'm not surprised that he didn't make it to the last 23.

England will miss Woodgate & Rio imho, best to play 3-5-2 with bridge on left and hargreaves at right wing back, with beckham gerrard and lampard in the middle, and a better keeper than calamity james

Hugo Viana will be on the under 21 championship, as well as Moreira that might well be the only player that will play in the two competitions
nice to see Maniche being called, he's playing too well not to be there.

absolute ownage of any other front line in the competition. Wether or not they use it to full effect will be another matter.
Please! Thierry Henry has more firepower than those guys combined!
