Cleverley out of the squad for both matches...that's the England team instantly stronger!

The problem with this is, why should schoolkids who are never going to go pro or even try to, be prevented in playing proper football? I wanted to play on big pitches with 11vs 11 when I was younger like my heroes. I didn't want to play touch football on a 5 a side pitch.

We could introduce all this stuff and the England team is still **** in 15 years.

Its a tough one but should the masses of people who play the game, suffer for the tiny percentage that want to make a living out of the game?

most school kids will never be 'proper' footballers.
most stand around freezing their little bollocks off, up to their ankles in mud, hardly ever seeing the ball.
only a keen minority actually are up for it.

the futsal game ensures a faster pace, more control, more touches and contribution from all players. its surely a better option to try and progress the better lads and girls with potential, while still providing a fun activity for the others.
anything that encourages more participation and activity must be a good thing, surely.

Not really. They still have Roy as manager.

Sounds like Andros Townsend is gonna start.

[Gibbo]

[@GaryLineker: Whatever happens, England will be brilliant. Tactics spot on, passing superb, spirit exemplary, faultless in every way. Come On England!

Townsend is better than Milner in fairness.

Oliver Kay @OliverKayTimes
Told that England XI tonight is Hart; Walker Jagielka Cahill Baines; Gerrard Lampard; Townsend Rooney Welbeck; Sturridge.

walker is a massive weak link.

[Chazza]

Slim pickings.

[Liverpool]

whats the formation with that lot?

Huge liability, to say people were saying he's better than Johnson at one point is absolutely laughable.

4-2-3-1. Hodgson must have had a bump on the head

Actually it'll be 4-5-1
