We have loads of left backs .... personally I believe cole will be fit and so will glen johnson but if we have loads of options to play at left/right back. They might not be experianced in that position but they wont let us down -- talking about people like carrick, gary neville, phill neville(in the form of his life right now) baines, bridge, brown, even barry could play there...... all we need is Rooney, lampard and terry on the pitch and we surround them with a load of grafters----
in the bag imo
So if we don't have rooney, lampard, or terry in the side for every game are we suddenly not good enough to win? What does that say about your belief in our squad, surely owen could come in for rooney and 'not let us down' as he's been there and done it?

Hers a couple to start you off
Camoranesi - rated extremely doubtfull to be there for the I ties
Van Persie - very unlikey to be risked in the Holland squad
Pepe - Portugals only world class defender is out of the finals
and obviosly in Englands group America are screwed by missing dempsey, charlie davies and Onyewu
van Persie will be fit by mid-April and, as Hollands best player, will be taken either wya I think

I think RVP being Hollands best player is up for debate.

Overlooked kuyt and babel for starters 
Robben, Sneijder, Van der Vaart might all disagree.

Depends on who we are playing against
My spine of the squad would be Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Milner, Barry, Ferdinand, Terry
With that spine you can alter the rest of the side to fit who we are playing against.
Goal keeper will be chosen on who ever has the best run in --- Hart is big favourite at the moment.
I would then take a selection of explosive players out of Walcott, Agbonlohor, Downing, Cole, Wright Phillips - let capello pick
I would take heskey and carlton cole to fill the holding role. Crouch could go if he plays well enough.
Then I would take a selction of versatile players to fill in where we need - carrick, brown, p neville, g neville, m richards, beckham,
Im not going to speculate on starting line ups--- capello knows how to beat the other nations...leave it up to him

If you take any countries three best players out of their side they will struggle- thats pretty obvious

No probs-- got to leave him something to do... im talking this whole thing in for him... all he has to do is sort out the legistics.
As I have siad we have already got two hands on this world cup...its just down to capello to decide exactly how we are going to win it. Shouldnt be too much of a problem.

Ever seen him play live.... did you see him at the weekend? He got all the qualities along with real pace.
Another player that has done well when he has had a run of no injuries. Hes quicker than you think, has a fantastic strike on him, scores and makes goals.
O neil will turn him into a fine footballer...wait and see.

Listen people I dont think you understand this..... all we need is Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Milner, Barry and Terry to be on the pitch..... we then surround this solid base with a load of grafters.
You then add Capello into the equasion and you have a world cup winning side on your hands.
Other countries are terrified of us -- we have got so much quality along with a massive physical presence, great experianced personalities and explosive pace.
As well as this we have the luckiest, postman pat looking mother fucer who has ever managed a team.
This world cup is in the bag

That's a big problem if we don't have a goalkeeper defined as part of the spine imo, and not sure I agree with you that hart is big favourite as he's considered too young and lacking big match experience by many, too much of an unknown.
Do you not have any favourites 'explosive'  type players and/or indeed 'versatile' players you think we should take or are we ok to leave that to capello/you don;t have a view?
Based on that spine (that doesn't include a goalkeeper) you think whoever capello picks to play around them probably won't let us down? You haven't defined a single natural wide man in your spine (milner playing through the middle most of this season) and you've included 4 players who will more than likely be battling it out for 2 CM spots, the other 2 may be played out of position?
I'm not any more confident of success after listening to your 'preferred line up' (which is actually you just stating a few players who we already know are good individually or at club level but don't necessarily perform amazingly together or at international level).

He doesn't naturally score many goals, and he's never had a decent run in the england team as he's simply not good enough, I feel like you've watched match of the day for the first time in a few months and seen a few players who had a good weekend by their own standards (Phil Neville ) and it's got you excited

Fukc that nonsense -- those flags are rubbish -- this is not about how much support we give our team - that really doesnt matter.
We are going to win the world cup - doesnt matter if you put a flag on your car or not.
All im saying is that once you have realised I am right- and that we have this in the bag then please make your voice known.
At the moment it is just me that is going to be looking smug on 12th july. You will enjoy the world cup more if you concede we have already won it.
I might not even bother watching us play in the semi final- whats the point when you know we have already won it.
Im not really looking forward to the world cup....Im looking forward to the day after it when Capello gets back to blightly witht the trophy and the whole of england turns up at the airport.
The time to repent is now.

How many great Goalkeepers have brazil or fance had..... how many world cups have they won?
I do have preferences for the 'explosive' player role... I would love to see Walcott there just because I have seen him play live and he is the most terrifying young player I have seen in years. I just can not see how other Europeon teams will cope with Walcott along with having to mark Rooney, Lampard, Milner ect. We have got too much quality for any other team to deal with.
Im not interested in giving a line up.....your thinking in the past.... we are going to put 5 world class players on the pitch, 6 grafters who have masses of talent and experiance and we are going to let the best coach in the world organise them -- we are then going to boss the fuck out of every other team in the world.
How many genuine wide players do chelsea currently have? Football has changed- no one has that rigid system any more..... whats important these days is pace, skill, physical fitness and good mentality...we have this in abundance.
I am not interested in debating the starting line up - we have capello becuase he knows more than anyone else in the country about how to beat italy , spain, brazil ....... we dont need to worry about little details like the starting line up.....all we need to do is sit back and enjoy us winning the world cup

Im afraid you have been robbed my friend.... that flag will not help england win the world cup... its just a flag.
Put your trust in Capello - hes got this one all figured out.
