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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
