World class to me is a player that can get into any team in the world without a problem. The likes of Ronaldinho.

 

Gary Neville isn't world class, he's a very good player but not world class.

He finished as his country's leading scorer as they won the World Cup. Further success followed at EURO 2000, where he was again his country's top scorer with three strikes.

 

Thats FACT and is a hell of a lot more than Peter Crouch has done?

er - i think you'll find henry made a grand total of ZERO appearences for his country during the 98 world cup. guivarch (sp?) was regularly brought on as sub.

 

his overall record at international level is quite good i'll admit - 30 goals from 73 appearences.

 

i just dont think he's as good a player when he's playing in blue shirt.

 

has henry single hadedly dragged his country through a competition ? no

I think Rio & Terry are top, Cole is very, very good. Gerrard is a great talent but not always on display, Lamps is too slow for me, Beckham good but not world class imo, Rooney is a bit special, Owen's a good finisher.

 

Dunno why they just don't try someone like Gareth Barry on the left, i'd even ask Robbie Fowler! Say to him, i know your a forward but you've got a good left foot and stuck for anyone else and this is your only chance of getting a game, fancy it? Either of them must be worth a try rather trying to squeeze Beck, Stevie and Frank into a formation that doesn't work.

 

My 1st choice 11 would be:

 

Wes Brown..........Rio............Sol...............Cole

 

SWP................Jenas............King,L..............Dyer

 

.......................Defoe............Heskey.............

 

with some as yet unheard of black genius goalkeeper.

 

 

Subs:

Bramble

Vassell

Bent, D.

Jlloyd Samuel

as yet, unfound back-up goalie of good caribbean ancestry.

 

Carlton Palmer as manager.

 

Purely my unbiased opinion of England's best chance at silverware

Wes Brown isn't black, he's orange.

If you're going to make a point, do try and make sure it contains some element of fact.

 

Your grammar is also poor.
