I like the line in that article where Poch tells Danny "if you trust me I'll get you into the England squad". That's how players start to believe in their manager.

Bit ballsy but turned out to be true. Great for both Danny and Mauricio

Names on the team sheet mean fuck all, I'm an Australian and when we named our world cup squad I had watched maybe 4-5 players play (for their club) ever and hardly knew the teams half the squad played for. Mostly 2nd Div Bundelisga and around Asia, yet we managed to play good attacking football and cause some very good sides a lot of problems.

My point is, fuck the golden players, get most over a golden team.

Ps. Good for Danny, I hated him last season

Do you mean the so called Golden generation? I'm sure they're all retired from internationals aren't they

England set up is a farce driven by the need to pay for Wembley. Not interested. Would love to say well done to Rose, but I think an England call up means duck all these days.

I agree. England are worse than bad and it isn't because the players are bad. It is because of the lack of any clear strategy. I actively want England to lose these days unless there is a spurs player involved. They have been the worst team in the last 2 world cups. Even Australia looked a better team as did Slovenia in the last world cup. We are shockingly poor and other than making it watchable I don't want our players anywhere near that team.
