5 forwards, 8 defenders, 7 midfielders? Sounds about normal.

Should be two people in every part of your formation, plus another keeper

This is why players like Milner and Phil Neville go to tournaments.

I'd take Neville over Milner to this one!

Not surprised by that.

I'm 50/50 on him starting.

Not really news, he's been saying this all along.

No problem with Rooney being in the squad. Don't think he should make the final XI though.

Competition for places make bring out Roney's best.

Just feel like the England team is starting to move on with the new young players.

[shankycricket]

What would be your preferred starting XI?

[budgetmeansbudget]

26 man squad named for England. Rashford makes it ahead of Walcott and Defoe.

Will probably get culled for the final 23.

I guess Walcott missing out is the biggest news

Not sure what planet Roy lives on, but Cahill has been rubbish this year, and the only CB replacement he picked was John Stones, who has looked very out of depth at part later in the season and cant even get in a failing Everton side.

He picked 11 midfielders, 5 strikers in a system where he only plays one, and no adequate CB cover?

I guess Dier can count as a CB option.

You said it. He had to pick Cahil because of the lack of strength in depth. I'm guessing Cahil and Smalling will start.

That is quite sad for England really. Shame Morgan chose to play for Jamaica really.
