And I think Lennon is a lot better than walcott, maybe you should play walcott as striker not winger and use lennon on wing instead and put rooney behind walcott up front?
Well bar Van Persie, Carrick was seen by many as Man United's most consistent and best player and he even made the team of the year this season, so I think he deserves his chance for England. I don't think England have many other options really in his position.
Blimey Adrian Durham got mugged in Rio last night

I don't think Brazil will win the World Cup and I think its a mistake some bookies are making them favourites. I don't think its the greatest team ever when you compare it to the past teams Brazil had before. This current Brazil team is good and I was impressed with them last night in the first half, but still I feel they are missing something that blows me away personally. Also I agree with you that I doubt that the Brazilian players will cope with the pressure from the fans and the media to win the World Cup on home turf. Southgate made a good point that if people think expectations are high for England then they are 5 times as big for the Brazil team. I know its only one match I've seen Brazil play in a long time, but players like Neymar and Hulk have to work on their decision making, as I was screaming at the tv when one of those players had better options to use the ball. Also how well Neymar does for Barcelona next season could either increase Brazil's chances winning the World Cup or perhaps affect their chances if he fails to shine at Barcelona.
lol that made me laugh esp the bit where mourinho shoves benitez off the couch

Mourinho and Moyes have contested 8 matches already, 6 in the Premier League and 2 in the FA Cup.
just saw on MSN (and of there is any truth to it) David Beckham could do a U turn on retirement and be lured to India for an IPL - style soccer tournament.
that would be one of the shortest soccer seasons on record!! Whether it is true or not don't know but I'm wondering if it's a ploy to get FIFA to stage a World Cup on the Indian continent.

Well they're doing a World Cup in Qatar so anything is possible with Fifa isn't it.
