I'm 99% sure that his natural position is CB but he's just had to play RB for this season because of O'Shea. If your whole squad was fit then he'd play CB. But because of the lack of English RB's he will probably play there in the friendly but Milner might too.

Be intresting to see who starts, Warnock or Baines.

Baines. He's better than Bridge anywho.

No RB. Wes Brown is awful.

To be honest the whole squad is lacklustre. If that's the same squad for SA then we'll be out in the groups.

It's not a great squad. We should have Ashley Cole and Johnson back though and Rio. Plus Joe Cole really should play as he is a great player and then there's Hargreaves too, although I have no idea if he'll make it. Still players that will come back so the proper squad should be better.

Heskey gives a good feed to Rooney and with his form, he'll capitalize on the opportunity.

i hope these two play upfront on Wednesday.

people give Heskey a lot of stick.
I've always admired Heskey.
I hope he plays tomorrow and let his presence be known, and I hope he scores.

I honestly think you suffer from the disease most commonly attributed to pretentious football fans. You have foreign envy. You always look at abroad talent as much better and seriously underrate England. That squad would beat Algeria and the other ones and still give USA a game, if not take points. And that's not me being a cocky Englishman, I'm just realistic. Get better soon. xx

Sorry my post was a bit vague :P I wasn't saying that we'd go out in the group stage, I was saying that it wasn't a great squad in terms of actually getting to the final stages. Im 99% sure that the squad named wouldn't make it to the Semi's. However, like I said there are some key players missing from the squad that should hopefully be back for the real squad so that shouldn't be the squad we're taking to the WC anyway. That squad would probably get past the group stage yes but it wouldn't get much further.
