mcsheffreygreat Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 What? I never said he wasn't as good as James.Hart is young, has barely played for England, and Green has earned his place imo. Sorry, meant to put Green Hart's been sensational this season whereas neither Green or James have done anything overly impressive and have even looked shaky at times. Hart's as young as Lloris iirc and look at how he's flourished for France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodmansee Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The way I see it James has had more than his chance playing for England. Without going into the mistakes he makes. Hart is young and will get his time. Green is 30 and will prob never get another chance, and has earned his place by playing in most of the qualifying games.

McMaster#28 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 followed by jackie chans "some really good teams in the wc , barcelona , milan, usa, england, brazil" Ask the average English person who they like to win the 2010 baseball world series and they wouldn't have a clue. Then ask them who is favorite for the Baseball World Cup. Then pick the worst clips and show them on ESPN and laugh at how clueless English people are.

Unrealgod Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Don't get the squad selection hate here at all. Capello is going with the proven partnership of Heskey/Rooney over a bigger risk of trying out the Gerrard playing off Rooney tactic or anyother less tried one. Which is the better isn't the point he's putting risk against benefit. The Heskey partnership has worked so try it. Doesn't matter if it's not best, try out new tactics on the easier games. As for goalkeeper; James clearly isn't fit and whilst Hart has shown promise its too bigger of a game for someone with 3 games to be tried. U.S.A are better than people are giving them credit for. Green is fit and proven. Like the strike force, experiment later. Gerrard/Lampard midfield. Sure it hasn't worked but do you really want one left on the bench? Or Carrick who had a howler against Mexico to play and oush somebody who's earnt their place like Cole or Milner out? Try it out. Both are world class players so it won't be a disaster. If it isnt working rejiggle to formation a little. 2-1 win for England. Tight game. Usa take the lead around 15mins in with a Donovan goal. Rooney to score early in the 2nd half with Gerard getting the final goal after a formation rejiggle. Media to doubt our chances tomorrow. A poor ref permormance, first of the tournament and the ball to cause some controversy. Off to a mates to watch it in a bit. C'mon England!!!!

Ruud van Nistelrooy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Gerrard/Lampard midfield. Sure it hasn't worked but do you really want one left on the bench? Or Carrick who had a howler against Mexico to play and oush somebody who's earnt their place like Cole or Milner out? Try it out. Both are world class players so it won't be a disaster. If it isnt working rejiggle to formation a little. Yes. One on the bench would be fine, Milner was as bad as Carrick against Mexico so not sure on your reasoning there. Both are world class players so won't be a disaster? What about all the other hundreds of times they've played together? Hopefully Capello will be able to make Gerrard play a reasonably disciplined game which would give the partnership a chance of working. Still reasonably confident of the win, should have enough.

bigdunk Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 James is capable of making saves that Green can't, but he's far more likely to make a howler as well. Hart has never played a game of this importance for club or country, it's far too soon to risk him. If he plays and makes a massive mistake it could potentially ruin his England career before it's even started. Green is by far the safest option of the three.
