that's what they are.

JackSwan · March 4th, 2009, 06:48 PM

i have always maintained that the FIFA rankings are unerringly accurate, having seen the current rankings i know i was right.

Noostairz · March 4th, 2009, 06:58 PM

on the kit, and that issue i raised about the badge not looking like the new one:

Quote:

The New Umbro England home shirt for the next two years just went on pre-order, click one of the links down the right hand side of the page if you want to order yours now or here to visit our England page.

The shirt is getting a new badge, we know that for sure, so we know we can forget about any of the pictures already released, they should be fakes. The full reveal of the new kit will be at 5.15pm on March 28th 2009, when the England play their friendly against Slovakia and the players wear it for the first time. - http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fan...and-shirt_2948

basically it'll be a nike kit, seen as nike now own umbro.

I don't really care if England lose to Ukraine - we'll win all our other games and Ukraine will probably slip up once or twice along the way.

Noostairz · March 5th, 2009, 08:38 PM

if england beat the ukraine the night they (should) beat kazakwoteva, croatia and the ukrainians meet. if those two draw - whammo, england seven points clear of 2nd placed croatia, only a few games to go, the likes of andorra and belarus to play, and the croats still have to come to wembley.

in the bag.

RobH · March 5th, 2009, 09:17 PM

You know what, after I saw the draw for the EURO 2008 qualys I thought, there's no way we'd miss out. I'm not prediciting anything. I know the difference between McLaren and Capello is huge, but still...

England squad for Slovakia in Saturday's friendly and Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier on 1 April:

Goalkeepers: David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham United), Ben Foster (Manchester United)

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Joleon Lescott (Everton), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), John Terry (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Matthew Upson (West Ham United), Ledley King (Tottenham Hotspur).

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Stewart Downing (Middlesbrough), David Beckham (AC Milan), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur), Steven Gerrad (Liverpool).

Forwards: Carlton Cole (West Ham United), Peter Crouch (Portsmouth), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).

Jizzy · March 22nd, 2009, 11:05 PM

from that lineup, i'd choose..

------------------------foster---------------------
------lescott---terry---ferdinand---upson-------
wright-phillips----carrick----lampard----lennon
-----------------------gerrard--------------------
-----------------------rooney--------------------

Madchester Guy · March 23rd, 2009, 12:24 AM

Chuffed to bits that Foster is in the squad!

Here's my prefered line up:

------------------Foster-------------------
----Lescott----Terry----Ferdinand----Cole
Wright Philips----Carrick----Lampard----Beckham
---------------Rooney----Crouch--------------

I'd like to see more of Beckham so I hope he starts. Capello better not put Stewart fucking Downing instead.

And it wouldn't be complete without all-important predictions.

England 2-0 Slovakia
England 4-1 Ukraine

clarky · March 23rd, 2009, 12:31 AM

Jamie Carragher needs to come back he is Englands only world class defender.

Jizzy · March 23rd, 2009, 12:39 AM

i predict..

england 3-0 slovakia
england 2-0 ukraine

The reason Lennon has started to live up to his potential is because Redknapp's been playing him in his best position on the right of midfield. Capello should either play him there or not at all. Putting him on the left won't be good for England.

------------------Foster-------------------
----Lescott----Terry----Ferdinand----Cole
Lennon----Gerrard----Carrick----Downing
---------------Rooney----Heskey--------------

Dan-87 · March 24th, 2009, 03:23 PM

Just read above that the new England kit will have a new badge

. My god am I dreading it!

EDIT: Just seen on other page it will be inspired by the old school 3 lions badge, thank fuck for that, I have a bit more hope now haha

RobH · March 24th, 2009, 04:11 PM

It's already been shown; and it's not that different. All they've really done is used a lighter blue and reshaped the lions slightly

New England kit??

JackSwan · March 24th, 2009, 04:17 PM

i'll be impressed if they drop the england tag that sits atop the badge. we know it's england, there's no urgent requirement to remind us.

that picture still makes it look like a tennis shirt, though.

Dan-87 · March 24th, 2009, 04:24 PM

That 1st picture can't be the badge, that's just someone lightening the blue.
Wouldn't mind that shirt to be honest, maybe a bit of red on the collar or something but other than that I would give it thumbs up. Probably because I want all the ponsey football shirts to stop and go back to basics.
