1 good keeper, good defence, reasonable midfield, hopeless attack

Why can't I select 'don't know'
and 'don't care'?

Because the mod that exists with these options is not stable as yet so can't be installed as it could mess things up
So you have to cope with one vote

OK then - I picked 1 and was surprised at the current stats!
Who'd have thought that then?

Most of the team "picked itself"...!
Silly questions for you humans:
1) Why did David James get picked? Talk about a waste of time. He can't even collect the ball from the back of the net.
2) Why didn't Shaun Wright-Philips get picked. The lad's done well.
3) And as for the unfit players:
Ledley King (shame)
Michael Owen (big doubts)
Wayne Rooney (double whammy)
Ashley Cole (only just back)
Result:
England through to 2nd round and get knocked out by the surprise qualifiers from Group A "Costa Rica"...
'Course, if England go through to Rnd 2 as Runners' Up, they'll probably be playing Germany.....who will doubtless thrash you....
As for me - I'll be watching the Universe Cup - Cybermen against the Daleks.

Good point. And why pick Crouch who could'nt score in a brothel
Peter Crouch Stats . At least most of the midfielders he picked can get goals.

Ah the World Cup. The time when English football fans show their loyalty by flying cheap Cross of St George flags on their expensive Japanese and German cars.
Money where their mouths aren't.

True but then try buying an English car. My mates got a Rover which is basically a Honda body with Peugeot engine and gearbox.
Even the British car companys that are left are owned by overseas car makers.

Does that mean that if I wanted to buy a British car I'd have to buy a McLaren?
Its not all bad news is it :D

Well, probably an Ilmor engine, made in Northamptonshire.

I think that Mercedes have bought Ilmor.
