That?s a good idea. I?m sure given some thought you could find an appropriate venue for each team in London.


Algeria

Argentina

Australia: Plenty but none that I would really recommend.

Brazil

Cameroon

Chile

Denmark: The Phoenix

England

France

Germany: I?m sure I ended up at a comedy/Oktober fest theme park style bar near Old Street when on a stag do once.

Ghana

Greece

Honduras

Italy

Ivory Coast

Japan

Korea DPR

Korea Republic

Mexico

Netherlands

New Zealand: See Australia

Nigeria

Paraguay

Portugal: One of the cafes on Stockwell Road

Serbia

Slovakia

Slovenia

South Africa: See Australia

Spain: Bradley?s near Tottenham Court Road?

Switzerland: The Swiss Cottage.

United States

Uruguay


That?s all I can come up with. I?m sure others could be a lot more creative than me though.

Want somewhere with a singy crowd!!

Barry - fit enough apparently.

Walcott not in the 22 - good decision. Just not good enough.

Carrick in it - eh? Looked shot to me the other day.

King in - hmm.

SWP in - bit unsure about that, he seems to me to have forgotten how to take a man on about a year ago, I'd have put Adam Johnson in.

Baines had his chances to impress and didn't take them I guess but Warnock seems a bit out of the blue,

1 wrong - Upson included instead of Walcott.


I think it is a mistake not having an extra man who can play upfront. England were exposed 4 years ago with only 4 strikers and strikers always seem to be the ones who get injured due to how they are targetted.

England's final 23-man squad for World Cup 2010:


Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.


Defenders: Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.


Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips.


Forwards: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.



I agree with not taking Walcott. He's not good enough, runs up blind alleys, constantly loses the ball and no end product. He had his chances in being selected in the last two games and just didn't take them. He was very poor. Including Wright-Phillips ahead of him is a good move as he can play on either flank. Taking Adam Johnson would have been too much of a gamble with only 12 minutes experience. Likewise Huddlestone over Carrick makes sense as Carrick has more experience but he'll need to pull his finger out and find some form if he gets to play whilst Barry is injured. Really pleased that Joe Cole has made the cut. He's top quality and gives us plenty of options with his versatility especially as he can play just behind the front man as well as midfield and the wings.

This is a bit left field, but I always wonder why no international squads gamble on only bringing 2 keepers so that they can have an extra outfield player? I can't recall ever seeing a time when England had to use their third choice keeper. It would be a gamble, but a calculated one. Still, don't listen to me. I don't think there should be a defensive wall when the opposition have got a free kick outside the area so what do I know.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
