What is England's strongest XI?

16 May 2012

No one seems happy with Roy's squad (myself included). So what would your team be. Just going to ask for your first team because it easier. I'll kick things off (since its my article )
-------------------Hart----------------
Richards Ferdinand Terry Cole
--------------Barry-Carrick----------
---------------Wilshere ---------------
Welbeck-------------------------Young
---------------Rooney--------------
*EDIT* I forgot wilshere so I adjusted a little

Downing is cack, i am merely showing you some stats, i am baffled as to why he has gone.
I also thought carrick should be in the squad.
Carroll has been good lately so im fine with that.
Henderson if also very surprising, once again suprised its not carrick

Carrick should be in the first 11 never mind the squad and it's nothing to do with club loyalty because like carrickature i don't think Jones is better at right back than Richards. After the tournament we all know what will happen, England will go out to a team that is technically superior and scratch our heads as to why we can't compete with them and not catch onto the fact that Carrick can improve the team and give us what we need.
