Is Sven Goran Erikson drunk?

Having seen his world-cup squad n the likes of Jenas and Walcott goimg, yet Darren Bent etc. missing out is he drunk?

Rooney won't play, Owen's gonna be next to useless with his lack of fitness which leaves Crouch n Walcott our only reconised forwards. Is Sven taking the piss?

    'Taking the piss'! I like that. No Walcott will not play much (unless he excells, which no one really knows how he will do, not even Sven). Defoe will be called into action, Rooney will not even come close enough to gamble on. So you will be looking at a strike force of Defoe or Crouch and Owen if he lasts, then Walcott.

    Is Sven Drunk.. maybe, his justification for taking Walcott sounds as though he took a couple wabbly pops. So yes.

    He had to put Rooney and Owen in even if both of them have only a small chance of playing. However the inclusion of Walcott is a bit weird seeing as he hasnt even played any premier league games at all. However the likes of Bent, Defoe, Johnson in my opinion are not remotely international class. It looks like if Rooney dosent recover Sven will play a 4-5-1 with Carrick holding, thus releasing Lampard and Gerrard to do what they do best. I think even if Rooney and Owen recover he should do that. Stick Rooney up front on his own, he has the pace and strength to do that job. Also it would make England far more solid all over the pitch.

    i think the biggest bad decision has to be taking david james as a back up keeper the guys an idiot to think hes even in the same training camp makes me tremble

    if we can stumble through the group stage then by the knockout stage owen will be back to a decent level and rooney will just be coming back

    lets hope our midfield can reach its true potential after all we do have 4 of the best midfielders in the world even with a catalogue of injuries we are still the fifth favourite to win the cup

    ok before rooneys injury we were 2nd favourites but who cares weve got enough quality to do it

    I don't think he could win either way, he's been criticised for years about being too predictable now he's gone and shaken it up and everybodies pist?

    The teams pretty much ok and on current form I cn agree with most of it. Maybe campbell's inclusion is iffy but with king injured we'd need experienced back up.

    Really not sure about only taking 4 strikers two of which are doubtful! Should be taking Defoe or Ashton if he's fit.

    I doubt Blanco became secure by Decio and Compean, why through fact in case you keep in mind properly Cuah's supposedly final interest became agaisn't Canada through fact the shortcoming of enjoying time by Eriksson, you quite think of Decio or Compean might have stopped that and allowed Cuah to retire in the event that they even have been retaining him? Eriksson's Downfall became not understanding a single element approximately Mexico, the lifestyle or Futbol, he tried to enforce a ecu type Futbol which does not artwork with Mexico through fact we play a diverse type of Futbol and the incontrovertible fact that he pronounced as too many extranjeros to El Tri if there is one to blame its the FMF through fact lower back in 2009 i published a question right here saying how Eriksson made extra money than each and all of the Coaches interior the Concacaf in a month, dude became right here below a year and left with very very nearly 6 hundreds of thousands money.....

    i think the rest of the world must be laughing at england right now. wallcott is a great player, but at 17 there is too much pressure. we had a chance of going somewhere this world cup, but sven has made some errors, especially hargreeves and jenas. if england fail, then players like wallcott will be blamed, but it is the selectors that are to blame.

    Personally, i was surprised that Wright-Phillips didn't even get mentioned.......I'm an England fan (unless they're playing Brazil of course), but I'm afraid to say that Sven is gonna BLOW IT!
