mods if you deem this article worthy could you spread it across the boards as I doubt anyones on the england page
Should age really matter when it comes to the finals of a competition? every time I see someone say "Oh we should take some young players to the finals to build for the future" it makes my blood boil, or when people say "Oh he's to old to come and play a possible 3-6 games". twaddlescott. Another farce was Joe Hart, easily our best keep, not getting a start because "he didn't have enough experience". Yes he was young, but I'm not contradicting myself, Joe Hart is not an up and comer, he has proven himself but he can still get even better, which is scary
it's so annoying when players like walcott get called up aged only 18, and when people say players like beckham shouldn't play because they are too old, even though he is easily been our most consistent big name performer, despite him having no pace and not being able to beat his man
Players that should be picked are the ones who are playing well regardless of their age, and I hope we don't keep picking players who continuously fluff it for england. so annoying seeing rooney play game in, game out, and him being such a guaranteed squad member, apparently our best player, when he's always plays rubbish and always turns into a liability because since he's not under SAF he thinks he can do what he wants, ie get sent off
what has he done for england despite his numerous chances to deserve being in the england side? should we win our first two games should he get picked I hope he doesn't come straight back into the side
but then again england winning two games straight, in the finals to boot, is quite a lot to ask for...

age and the national side

Well, what do you suggest. You either give some of the younger players a chance or you stick with the 'old guard' of Terry, Lampard, Cole, Gerrard etc.
The only way England's national team will move forward is by blooding in youngsters, players who are arguably more eager and more passionate about playing for their country.

I suggest we just pick players ebcause of how well they are playing rather than pick them because they show potential
if they live up to their potential then by all means pick them
