England have got some top class players, All they need is a good manager who has the balls to put a "Team" together and not just pick who are considered the best players because a lot of them are way to similar and its clear they cannot play together... For me personally I would have dropped Lampard a long time ago.. Also Downing who is shite IMO... He has not been performing and I would play Lennon and Richardson in there places.. Also time to start giving some of the younger players like Micah Richards a chance at right back a chance.. I would go with this team..
Robinson
Richards
Terry
Ferdinand
Cole
Lennon
Gerrard
Hargreaves
Cole/Richardson
Rooney
Crouch/Ashdon
McClaren has shown that he is not capable of doing that though.. But thats not the only thing the team needs, They need a man in like O Neill who can get every last bit of talent out of his players, Who inspires them to go out on that field and give it everything.. He would give them that motivation, That drive and that passion that they need to push on and really start to challenge for honours..
And Btw they went very close to winning the 86 and 90 World Cups and were only knocked out by the eventually winners, By the hand of god and on penalties.. Also in 98 they were beating Argentina until Beckham got sent off.. And only lost out to penalties.. In 2002 they just bottled it against the Brazilians who also went onto win it.. And then in 2006 we all know what happened and they still only got knocked out by penalties.. So to say they have not come close is not true!!

Sorry but Lampard would have to stay in my team.... He is a great player for Chelsea and has shown glimpses of what he can do on the international stage... Gerrard is pretty much the same... He is inconsistant on the big stage... If the opposisition is good then he will play well but there are a lot of games when he plays sh1te... And also with crouch he wouldnt even make the bench.... He is tall and thats about it... Never have and never will rate him.....
