^ I believe there must be an Englishman taking up the team
I reckon Big Sam has stated he doesn't want to...
anyone else of that level that you think might suit for the job?

BTW, what's happening with Chris Kirkland? Why doesn't he play in the representation?

He was injured for so long, and now he's OK but not great. Robert Green is Englands best keeper but for some reason he's never in the squad.

Ben Foster is way better than Robert Green.

He doesn't even play at the moment, so we can't pick him. Although he's probably our future number 1. And Robert Green has been playing very well recently. Not to mention he was huge for West Ham at the end of last season, he came up big when it mattered most. That's exactly the sort of person we need for England. Carson only f**ked up at the business end of last season.

I'd still say Robinson is still England's best goalkeeper at the moment. He does play for the largest team, out of the available number one English goalkeepers. But I wouldn't have thrown Green or Carson into a big match as the Croatian one.

Hopefully this'll hammer home the fact that England are rubbish, both in quality of players and management.

The performance of the Man Utd team was even more of a disgrace than that of the poor referee. Bolton also defended very well and deserved their victory.

I agree with that Clap

in Greece we have and we had many good Polish goalkeepersJosef Vancyk (wrong spelling I am sure) retired nowArkadiusz Malarz (active, in Panathinaikos now)and Turina (I think that's his name, in Xanthi)

Ivan Turina is a Croatian goalkeeper, not Polish.

Josef Vancyk should be written Jozef Wandzik (Józef Wandzik). But you were very close

^^^ Yeah, I know

He was one of the greatest Panathinaikos and Greece League goalkeeper. In 249 matches he was beaten only 184 times which give an average 0,74 goal per match.

Very kind draw for the British teams, I'd say all 4 have a chance, as do the Republic of Ireland.
