    Apart from Smalling over Stones that looks our best squad to me.

    Let's pray that none of the 1st choice CBs get injured or sent off, the back ups are woeful.

    If that's right then perhaps the 23 will be as above with ox and wilshere in where there are blanks.

    Looks like stones won't make it.

    Who would you have in his place? Not exactly blessed with fully fit central midfielders? Could be useful to bring on with 20 mins to go.

    I have doubts about Jones (both as a player and if he'll be fit)

    Well there are three in the squad and one on stand by who are there purely because they play for Man United!

    I'd love a defender to drop out so that Stones can get called up (I wouldn't be surprised to see him get some game time in the warm ups just to give him experience, which may be a nice windfall for us), but then again, if he doesn't get called up it will save me having to be interested in any of the England matches!

    At altitude & heat we need young players

    the 11 is already decided so its about taking additions that could make an impact, controversially I wouldve took a 5th striker and as I believe in picking players in form - Connor Wickham.

    Just looking at the goalkeeping position is worrying, we really do struggle these days - oh for when Shilton and Clemance were vying for the shirt.

    I'm not that arsed for what'll be 270 minutes of dissapointment!

    Well not really disappointment as that's got to be the underwhelming squad of English players available that I can ever remember.

    Its the most talented and exciting attacking force we've had in years.

    Nar gior. Young, Downing, Barry, Carroll?

    Ok I'll give you a John Terry and Walcott, but ones retired and one's injured so they weren't realistic contenders this time round anyway.

    With Lalana, Barkley, Sterling, Sturridge, Henderson etc we have at least this time got some players going into the tournament at the peak of their powers. Like I've put earlier, the only disappointing element of the squad for me is the defence which looks painfully thin.
