[QUOTE="woodie, post: 68"] England's success depends on Sven's selections in the midfield. Frank Lampard HAS to play. He has been the best midfielder in the Premiership this season, i'd say even ahead of Steven Gerrard. Nicky Butt was good for England in Japan, but that should not allow him to play this summer. He is cack and not match-fit. When he played vs Sweden last month he gave the ball away every time he had it and looked knackered. I'd have this team -------------------Owen + Heskey------------------- --------------------------Scholes---------------------- -------------Lampard + Gerrard + Beckham------- -A Cole-------------------------------------G Neville- -------------------Terry + Campbell------------------ --------------------------James------------------------- No natural left sided midfielders, so why play Scholes/Lampard/Gerrard there. Ashley Cole will provide the width needed up the left. Depending on who is further forward, Gerrard or Lampard, the other should drop back in behind. Both are better going forward but both are also top defenders when required. Paul Robinson is a better keeper than James but won't play. [/QUOTE]
