----------------------------------------------------------------------
because better performers in the prem were in the squad
Other countries aren’t afraid to make big decisions for the overall benefit of the team…
e.g. Drogba starting on the bench, Nasri being left at home..
England need to grow a pair
We can't just pick all the players from the big clubs 50. We have done that before, numerous times, and it hasn't worked.
I am not advocating picking only players who play CL and EL football. What I am saying is that young players need to take more risks with their lives, and be rewarded with International honours for playing games at a high level, not for playing little football.
Its easy after the event to say this player or what player should have gone. Carrick and Cole have had loads of chances before and Cole barely played the last 6 months.
Gibbs probably should have gone, but thats because England managers pick too many players on reputation and pick hyped up young players too quickly.
Shaw should have played in the Toulon Tournament, not taken to a World Cup to do nothing.
Nobody should be playing for England before they have played 100 league games at a good level IMO, unless they are Pele talented.
Sterling did well, but as a country we would be better in the long term by giving young players more experience before we throw them in at the deep end, not bigging them up too much too young and expecting too much from them.

Turned out extremely well didn't it?
Righteous---ok not picking players from big clubs then explain why were likes of Welbeck and Milnet picked, ahead of say Barry and Huddlestone two of England's best passers/DM's?
Team selection was wrong yet again. Instead of going technical England yet again went for athleticism.
Barry had a decent season but has had numerous opportunities at International level and failed to look the part repeatedly.
Huddlestone arguably should have had more chances.
Our problems go much deeper than team selection though.
There is no squad of players we could have picked that would have won the World Cup, and highly unlikely would have got further than the 1st knockout round or QF's.
Pick all your favourite players and they are still coming home early.
