I would like to see us start in the WC:
Sturridge
Lallana, Barkley, Sterling
Just go for it. Put Gerrard and Henderson behind. Gerrard for his playmaking from deep. Henderson for workfare, cover, link up to the three in front.
I don't think Rooney has shown enough to justify him starting. Would rather have Lallana on the left as that is were he regularly plays.

He is from Slovenia
Dajmo nai! Or something. I'll start caring about our national team once Juve sign Kampl. Maybe.
YES GARETH! Decoupled mode forevah.
It controls much better than I thought it would in such an early state, tbh. Improvements to follow.
nvm. Apparently he is warming up. Strange that he isn't in the squad but Raheem is.

You Brits confuse me. Haven't watched England's games but what's with the Rooney hate?

wtf, Rojo is the youngest player in the Argentina squad.
He is 24.

His inclusion prevents us from playing what is theoretically our best formation, and his performances are not good enough to justify his status as an undroppable.

As Viva said, play Rooney left problem solved.
If he actually plays wide then sure. When he cuts inside and that's where things go south
I'm all for playing them, they have been consistent this season. But nah to starting them, it is the World Cup. The World Cup! Play your best. And just because we aren't gonna win doesn't mean Woy should fudge it and play the U21s for experience.

He plays in the middle for us.

I'd rather have Sterling or Chamberlain on the left if they were available.

*adds Cesc to players not allowed to take penalties.
He hasn't performed well at international level for a very long time. He hamstrings the entire team.
Well he did break his leg taking a pen once so...

So apparently Cesc just missed a penalty with a really bad shot lol.
edit
yep he did. Thanks wooden lol

Holy shit.
Great goal from Argentina. Messi ---> Di Maria ---> Aguero ---> Messi ---> Goal

I'd argue Rooney is the most over-hyped and over-rated player in English national team history.

Shouldn't be a problem if he has intelligent players around him and Baines on the outside.
Anyway, it's more of a problem that Welbeck and Henderson are there instead of Barkley and Wilshere.

Aguero and Messi are gonna be deadly at Barca next season.
*adds Cesc to players not allowed to take penalties.
If you stutter, you will miss.
He aimed it at the sky, sky is blue.*adds Cesc to players not allowed to take penalties.
Deal confirmed.
I'd have sterling in for welbeck, not barkley. Sterling has looked like a top player every time I have seen him

I can't wait til FIFA add some rule to disallow it.
It's so stupid, fools nobody and just makes the kicker looking like a tool.
I just worry that, like when he plays for United, he will not stay in position and instead wonders trying to influence and dictate the game
United had intelligent players (I know), but it didn't stop Rooney wondering about
As for starting Wilshere/Barkley ahead of Henderson....nah son. Wilshere not had a good enough season and Barkley too raw
Playing a extra man in midfield I can get on board with though
Agreed. Sterling for Welbeck and that's your 11 imo
I can't stand it. If you stutter I hope you miss. Even Arsenal players. Fucking Ozil.

Poor 3Sixty
Steve Bruce, with his face like a recently-used obese woman's cushion.
Steve Bruce, with his face like a deflated beachball.
Steve Bruce, with his face like the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2.
"Wuh got wor backsides kicked, that's for sure."
Are you prepared, 3Sixty?
No.
Though I must say Steve Bruce pioneered the striker-less formation that was later adopted by the Spain team in a League Cup game at Brighton or some shit.
We lost. With three strikers on the bench.

Spain looks horrible. Cancel the Cesc and Costa deal.
Probably in my living memory at least.
Thank you, I think will need him
