we should win, that holland squad looks pretty weak, apart from some good forwards and a few good defenders. micah richards and wes brown were surprise picks.

[:alexxTURNER]

We SHOULD win this,
but it's england so i'm not sure.
They've got a weak squad and we've
got quite a strong one.

Tbh i'm not surprised Micah Richards in there but
Wes brown not so sure about him.

[brapbrap]

Why does Danny Landzaat get a place and not Bolo Zenden who is 10x the player.

[Tipped]

Van Der Sar Didnt Want To Play :( Holland Have Such A Weak Team... Even Though They Are Playing At Home And Im Supporting Them Cos Im Dutch
I Hate To Say... England Should Win But The Way They Played Recently... Draw?

[sl4rt is banned]

God sake i dont even know why phil neville is called up ??? :s hes absolute pathetic.

And why did Mclaren [SP] get the job hes rubbish imo.

Like many people have said to Becks needs to be called up again what does mclaren not see in him ? we wonder...

[J.J.V]

England should pick players on form instead of just because of their names... I mean ok so that is a strong squad but what the hell does Jermaine Jenas do for us? I think he is a decent young player but I don't think he deserves a place in the squad. I also believe that Stuart Downing has got a great future ahead of him but he has not performed in the couple of previous England matches so why is he there? And as above Phil Neville what the hell?! I mean he is rubbish!
England annoy me so much I mean we have amazing players but we just cant play well... Steve Mclaren shouldn't have got the job either he was simply a last choice because he was English. I can't believe that someone like Alan Curbishley was supposedly in the running for England manager I mean come on!! He managed charlton for flips sake and what the hell did he do there? (No offence intended to Charlton fans) Atleast Mclaren took Middlesbrough to into Europe but I still don't rate him as a manager. However I am England Do Or Die so I will be behind the team 100% no matter what...

[Brody]

i would prefer curbs to steve macleren

he changed charlton from a divison one team [now the championship] into a team capable of playing in the premiership.

YAYAYAYAYA! AJ and Phil!

Randomness.
Anyway, should win, their team looks weak. But knowing England.

Ok so I should get my facts right before I go off into one of my rants. Please excuse my ignorance. :P

[Chease]

England U21's beat Holland U21's last night thanks to a wonder goal from Justin Hoyte.

Hopefully the first team can do the same tonight.. but hopefully with a few more goals.

[:Hazel]

Haven't even heard of half the holland players. Should beat them but England never do what we expect of them.

Defenders: Gary Neville (Man Utd)
