Wes Brown may not make it when you judge him 1:1 against his competition, but taken together with Ferdinand (who he works with week in and week out), he's a good choice. A case of the sum being greater than the parts.

The eleven has just been announced! Here is your lineup:

James
Brown
Ferdinand
Upson
A. Cole
Bentley
Jenas
Gerrard
Barry
J. Cole
Rooney

Lineup appears to be 4-4-1-1, as Cole is playing deeper than Rooney. Could still be considered a 4-4-2 though.

Whoops...you're right. I had been looking at the 30-man roster. Swap out Davies for Lescott or Upson.

Oh no no no no, Wes Brown? Gtfo!
David Bentley, hell yeah, about time, imo.
Just because Ashley Cole is a good player doesn't mean that he's the best teammate, I'd give Mr. bridge a chance.
And why exactly are people so hostile and dislike Peter Crouch? He scores goals almost every time he plays, but w/e.
If they win, and it's going to be hard against the swiss, there will be too many praises for Capello, maybe more than he deserves.
We will see though

Lonnie, Davies didn't make the 23-man squad though I don't think, but I see what you're saying.
