England V Denmark on 5th March

[Nobby Nobbs]

Don't give two f**ks about England rarely watch them not arsed about their results always let you down, can anyone remember the last time they played well when it mattered. hope none of our players are involved. I no this is not very patriotic but that's the way I feel about our national team, I get more enjoyment watching the England rugby team playing in the six nations.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

you can be gauranteed Baines & Jags will both play 90 mins (and possibly Barkley too)....hodgson only worries about keeping the liverpool, Arsenal & United managers happy....

be just typical to see Barry called up too (just like osman was last year so Gerrard could have rest)

 

[Ashtonian]

Any chance of hiding a few blue passports next week?

 

[Roztitute]

Ffs. Withdraw them from the England squad Bobby.

In terms of our other players:

ROI vs Serbia
Belgium vs Ivory Coast
Ukraine vs USA

Would USA have their pre match get together in the US, or somewhere in Europe? That would be a lot of flying for Howard (Robles may play in the cup anyway)

There probably wont be a Ukraine next week, so Howard should be fine!

ROI v Serbia is equally if not more a concern than that Ingerlund game. We cant afford any injuries from that one. They already cost us Gibson.

Hahaha! Yeah that game may well be in some doubt!

...as always happens, the momentum is gathering for inclusion of rs players in World Cup squad. To be fair, there is probably an argument for a Sterling recall, not so certain about Henderson. I also think the performances of Oxlade-Chamberlain in a more central role threatens Barkley's inclusion. Barkley could make the squad for this game but I doubt he'll be near getting a start.

Somewhere in Europe. Cyprus, specifically, as that's where they've moved the game to now. This game is specifically a pre-World Cup tuneup for the European-based Yanks.

There will probably be a couple of MLS players called in to fill out the squad, but that's about it.

Good to hear that there wouldn't be too big a trip involved for Howard then

Or any trips to countries teetering on the edge of civil war.

Stay safe, Ukrainian blues.

Erm everyone does realise that every team in the Premier League is playing in the league or cup that weekend right? So every team is running the risk of injuries, Hodgson knows this and will use this friendly to look at more of the fringe players to the squad to see if any can impress before May's squad deadline

 

[sw blue]

Id be surprised if Baines played. Cole needs the minutes and Hodgson might want to try the likes of Gibbs.

Don't think Hodgson fancies Cole anymore (http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/12/roy-hodgson-ashley-cole-england-future) Baines will play at least an hour I think.

Barkley & Baines in squad. No Barry
