Now we all know that England will get embarrassed at the upcoming World Cup regardless of the players that go.
What would you do?
1. Take a young inexperienced squad with a couple of old heads to give them some tournament experience and tell them to go out there and do their best?
Or do you
2. Take tried and tested failures to give them one last crack at it?
Personally I would take the first option. Send the young players out with no expectations placed on them at all, with some of the older heads to help guide them through. You never know, they might just surprise us and win a game!

Rodriguez is 5th top scorer in the PL btw. Can play wide too.

I think I'm probably in the minority who wouldn't bother with Rooney by the look of it

Sterling makes sense to replace Walcott as someone who can run in behind defences

Good team but I'm a sucker for players who play regularly for their clubs.
Swap Milner for Hendo/Carrick depending on how running the team has to do and Jagielka for Lescott.
Walker or Johnson is tricky, screw it let's take Flanagan...

We have some very exciting players to take. Someone mentioned Sterling, Januzaj and Barkley and I totally agree, all are very fine young players.
I think our best chance lies in hitting teams on the break at pace so we need a player who can sit in front of the back four and spray some passes, anyone got any ideas? <smile>
As much as a hate the man, Hodgson could do worse that bring back John Terry as one of the old heads to coin a phrase. His partnership with Cahill is very good.

you take your best XI regardless of age.
if a squad or fringe player has been around for a while and not been up to much then leave them home for a younger player

Got to be the best squad possible.
