It's about time Ruddy got his chance. I'd have gone with Richards who is more of a specialist right back and an accomplished centre back over Johnson. It's difficult to see the justification for including Downing and Oxlade-Chamberlain over players like Adam Johnson, Aaron Lennon and Daniel Sturridge. And, given that Rooney can't play in the group stages, we're relying on the erratic Carroll or the inexperienced and possibly lightweight Welbeck to lead the line. I'd have taken Crouch because he'd do a job for the team.

I believe that Jags is on the shortlist for the Olympic squad and could yet go to that as one of the overage players.
 
The only players in that squad with genuine pace are Walcott, Young and Wellbeck. I can only see one of those playing.

Expect them to get tonked no later than the QF's.
 
Not sure Jags belonged in our starting XI for much of this season, so I don't think it's a surprise he was left out.

If I supported England I'd be depressed looking at that midfield.
 
Jagielka has had a poor season, so shouldn't be picked, but that could also be said about half of the squad Hodgson has selected.
 
MIlner's in there???

It's not a good squad. It used to be that we lacked a decent left winger. Now we lack a decent winger on both sides. I imagine it will be gerrard and barry/parker in the center. Gerrard is not the player he was and the other 2 are slow as hell.

england are going to be dull as hell to watch
 
I know there has been a ton of sell Jags posts but now that he's healthy he's played quite well the past 2 months. In the last 4-5 games of the season I thought he was playing better than Heitinga. He's no worse than England's 4th best CB, he not a douchebag (maybe that is his problem) and he should be going to the Euros.
