I find it pathetic that we cannot get behind England as a team. We'd rather argue about which player has won more for his club and is therefore "better". Surely we should see England as a team and not act like little girls saying players from my team are better than players from yours. This is why Englands support is rubbish. Look at the Scots, whenever they play, everybody seems so proud, we just complain that man u are better than chelsea or arsenal are better than tottenham. Grow up you arses

im so sick of clueless liverpool fans ranting ona bout lampard. lets see in the past 100 games lampard has scored 29 more goals than gerrard. also i wish liverpool hadnt won the champions in 2006 cause then gerrard would have gone to chelsea and mourinho would have taught them to play together. and by the way THE ONLY trophy gerrard has ever won was the champs in 2006. comared to lampards 2 prem titles 2 league cups an fa cup and second place or better since 2003-2004

Fred M Barry is the best midfielder in England on current form, which Villa have you been watching pancho villa?

I have read some absolute mindboggling moronic statements on this page but nothing as braindead as the comment from ricbat61 about Gerrard and Lampard. at a guess i'd say your a manc?

rrepun_7, his name is Fabio not Fabia. And he is from Italy, and Wikipedia is worth the trust..

hey guys you can't ignore Barry hes the best midfielder in England on current form

my PREDICTED team against the kazaks: James, Brown, Rio, Terry, Cole, Walcott, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Rooney, Heskey.
The formation would be either a 4-4-2 with gerrard/barry on the left or a 4-3-3 with walcott on the right and rooney on the left of the attack with heskey in the middle.
Now i have no problems with the line up as it is probably our strongest with the exception of j.cole and owen. but the formation is a tough one. how about a 4-2-3-1? barry and lampard in midfield with gerrard, rooney, and walcott interchanging in front of them with heskey up front to hold things up.

I mean I could look in Wiki or some other place but I dont trust these websites

Guys I was just wondering, where is Fabia Capello from?

I care not which club the England players come from, As soon as they put on an England shirt they are there for England! So any fan who is a true England supporter should drop the small minded club predjudices and support the national team. Terry Lampard Gerrard Rooney Cole Ferdinand and the rest should all be allowed to wear the shirt with pride and suffer no barraking from inter club fans who care nothing about England but are on an ego trip to see there club players wear the shirt. Come on boys wear the shirt with pride do your best and hopefully the true fans will support you as a team not as individuals representing there clubs.

u wont get the flow of attacks from the midfield without franki and he's got such class finishing that only fools would left him out of england squad. Im not saying left gerrard out coz he is another midfield maestro. so just include both of them otherwize u cant expect win without ur best players.

it is about time England reverted back to four four to formation and forget about playing with stephen gerrard and frank lampard and play either one or they other as they cannot play together in the same team although both are good players in there rightful positiion instead of playing european football play the old fashion English way ed1812002

leo...girls wear tops...its the England SHIRT!
zoe...Crouch is a prolific scorer, but no one holds the ball up like Heskey and that's why Owen succeeds when they are paired together
and lastly, @#$%.slag (chuckle)...What has Lampard won...try to Premiership League Championships (has Gerrard?...oh, I'll answer that...NO!)...I'm not Blues fan (not by a long shot) and I do agree with you that they both can't hold the England midfield together, but if all you want to go on is Gerrard and his CL Championships (not too shabby) it's just not the right argument. One or the other, I don't care who, just not the two together.

ROOOOOOOOONEY GOD !!!

suggested line up
Rooney, Hesky
Young, lampsy, Stevie, Walcott
A,cole, Terry, Ferdinard, Brown
James

theres too irons anyway,cut them up the @#$% steamers

england are amazin wen there on form gerrard and lampard cant play together and look gerrard is better by a long way look at what hes won and done for the mighty reds come on england world cup 2010 footballs comin home

of coss when you play to chelsea! you must be to squad wherever you trained or not.

why does anyone question Crouch and his ability?? check the stats people, he is one of the most prolific scorers for england ever - we shouldnt question his inclusion!!! as for Heskey - my god am i blind, what the heck is he ever included for???

helen, pls iron my shirt after you finish wash your dishes...
