Shocking upset though. I did have Costa Rica last.

So glad Suarez didn't play. Now hopefully this Manaus pitch isn't as bad as they claim.

Looks pretty ready to me, even more so as a back up :)

yeah he looks ready , did better vs englands top teams in 1 try than giroud has in 2 years lool. I'd bring him and a starting striker. Loan out sanogo and maybe gnabry to EPL teams. Giroud and campbell to back up to the new starting striker and campbell to also play in the other positions across the front 3. If we play with 2 up front then Campbell can also play there.

Too young to be the third striker IMO. Should just loan him to Everton for a season.

Sucks that Buff isn't going to play. Hopefully we see some Pirlo Balo action.

WOW. What an aggressive squad from Hodgson. Welbeck, Sturridge, Sterling, Henderson, Rooney.

Don't like Welbeck and Rooney on the wings and eww at GlenJo. He's such a liability.

If England had a progressive manager I would back them to do something at his tournament. Instead there's WOY.

thats not a bad option as well but our third striker this year was sanogo/bendtner loool , he's surely better. Doubt we bring in more than 1 striker
