Advantages: Good Passer
Disadvantages: Injuries

...I would just like to take this opportunity to wish Jamie Redknapp the best of luck. Jamie has had a rotten time with injuries and he has never been able to reach the great hights he surely would have done had he stayed fit. He has achieved some things in the game as he has collected 13 England caps and he has become captain of one of the most well known clubs in the world. I for one am sure that if the operation is a sucess then he will go on and achieve more England caps and lead Liverpool to glory. Best of luck Jamie!... Read review

Advantages: We beat Germany
Disadvantages: We didn't get out of the group stage

...We could all spend hours slagging off England but did nobody watch the match on 17th June. Yes the England Germany match (I know Germany weren't exactly at their best) we won don't you remember, 1 - 0. It is the first time we have beaten them in competition since we kicked ass in 1966. We played poorly but beat germany our arch enemy in football, we should be proud. We cant expect to be good on an international level without either capping the number of foriegn players in England or exporting more English talent to top foriegn leagues.... Read review

Advantages: not expected to do any good
Disadvantages: not expected to do any good

...Englands world cup preperation have been rocked by a series of injuries to crucial members of the squad in the weeks running up to the tournament. The loss of Gary Neville might not be as significant as the loss of Steven Gerrard or Kieron Dyer.Neville has won fifty plus caps for england but as the song says 'if neville plays for england so can i ',the truth is if england had a better quality fullback during the last five to ten years then neville would not of won half as many caps. The loss of Gerrard is more crucial because he does a minding job for Beckham doing a lot of protecting and donkey work so as Beckham has room to spray passes around and be creative,Dyers' loss would also be a loss of a creative player to a squad that contains artists such as Keown. Beckham is expected to be fit due to the intensive treatment he is recieving... Read review

Advantages: Talented keeper
Disadvantages: Always in the shadow of others

...of England’s finest keepers. So how does the future look for Nigel Martyn? At Everton, he should be able to hold down a first team place against Richard Wright, but the young and talented Iain Turner will be constantly biting at his ankles. Richard Wright himself is not far behind Martyn either. At England, Martyn is still number two to Paul Robinson, due to David Seaman’s retirement. With Robinson being not only more talented, but younger, it seems unlikely that Nigel Martyn will become England’s number one keeper. However, with 23 England caps to his name so far, and being firmly regarded as England’s number two, there should be a few more England appearances coming up in the future. As with Mr Henry, Mr Martyn has been very hard to find information on! Oh well, I will put myself through reviews on football players! Be nice children... Read review

Advantages: New Manager - New Start
Disadvantages: Failed to Qualify,

...exit from Euro 2008. Each player representing their country should take some blame for their dismal performance and in some cases, lack of ambition. There were certain players playing for England in this most recent campaign who would have been better suited sat in the stands, but due to their name and club status they played regardless of current performance levels. I for one was pleased Steve brought David Beckham back into the fold; you can guarantee that when he plays for England he plays with passion and that's real passion. He believes he should earn his cap and he plays to do so. With 99 caps it's a shame that he couldn't get his 100th and more in the near future. B: Friendly Matches The England team also carries a lot of injuries, Michael Owen for example, guaranteed a starting place in any England team, spent a friendly game... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...We moved to where we live now over a year ago and found out that its the Chav capital of Essex or maybe England. Chav was originated from the gypsies of Chatham in Kent, although nowadays its origins are known to stand as "Council House and Violent". Chavs over the past have been known to wear most designer named clothes, such as Burberry (most common, and typical Chav Daniella Westbrook). Although Burberry is known to be very expensive believe me there are cheap imitations about. You can spot a Chav a mile off due to their Burberry cap. The typical car that a Chav drives is a Ford Escort (old shape) or more commonly now a VW Polo or similar. I would say that your most typical and "infamous" Chav at the moment would be the Lottery Winner, Michael Carroll. As Chavs are also known for their jewellery. They normally hang out... Read review

...in my life but I am the England manager and the only thing in my mind is to win against Sweden and get the 3 points for England" I don't think I need any more proof as to where his loyalties lie. GOALKEEPERS: David Seaman – squad no 1 – age 38 – caps 68 – club Arsenal. David Seaman will most likely be England’s first choice goalkeeper in the World Cup, he has proven himself over the years to be one of the best goalies in the world despite his strange ponytail and thick black moustache but he has in recent times been known to make crucial errors for Arsenal. On a good note though, he has never let down his country. RATING ***** Nigel Martyn – squad no 13 – age 35 – caps 23 – club Leeds Utd The big Cornishman will only keep goal for England if anything happens to David Seaman injury... Read review

Advantages: good leader, player
Disadvantages: injur-back problems

...Tony Adams seems to have had bad luck on the injury front this season, he has missed quite a few of games this season, could it be time he hangs his boots from international football and concentrates on the league. He is a class player and has been a pivotal player for both club and country. He will always be remembered for being part of the legendary back four, who played together for a decade. He has won trophies with Arsenal but unfortunately been unable to inspire England to victory. England has capped him mainly in the absence of the regular captain. His ability has never been questioned and still is the captain of arsenal and a huge boost to them when he is fit. He will be remembered as great defender, who had excellent ways of organising his defence. So much so that the picture of him with his hand up never escapes my mind... Read review

Advantages: Top class centre back
Disadvantages: are there any??

...to stop the bet attacking team in the world and possibly lead his team to victory would be a major feather in his cap. England has desperately needed a high callibar centre back for years now and i think we've found him with the young coare of the team all world class (beckham, scholes, owen, gerrard and rio) The future looks very bright for England...
