Just seen the Sun's predicted England team for tonight

with a midfield of Downing Parker Gerrard and Milner.

Deeply uninspiring and uncreative. How have we managed to produced an entire generation of footballers without a single midfield playmaker!

I actually think we could do alright in this tournament, especially once Rooney comes back but tonights line-up looks negative to me. If we have to play Milner then at least make it a three man midfield with Parker and Gerrard and let Young, Walcott and Welbeck loose up front!

        No, wins stuff like that for being in a shit villa team (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Jun 11, 10:34:11
        
        yup, the best player in a mid-table premier league team (they finished 9th) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 11, 10:43:39
        
        Fleming won POTS here one year and was nowhere near the best player in the side (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Jun 11, 10:51:14
        
        ha. Desperate. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 11, 10:57:36

    - I`ll still be giving them my support whoever plays (NCFC) - emmaroyds, Jun 11, 10:20:07
    - We seriously don't have anyone better than Downing? (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Jun 11, 10:19:34

        Problem is, one of them will be playing too (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jun 11, 10:26:17
        
        Downing should really have had about 5 goals (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 11, 10:26:13
        
        I think he should turn down Ireland. Good chance of England IMO (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jun 11, 10:27:53
        
        Don't agree at all with that, Downing is shocking for me (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Jun 11, 10:23:32
