Exactly.

Spain don't play Fabregas, simply because he is there. Xavi and Iniesta (the best midfield pairing in the world-but the best midfielders in Spain?) play, and they know he's there on the bench...

Rooney is completely and utterly undroppable, we've seen that confirmed. He should have been dropped after the USA match, and why he wasn't after the Algeria one, or at all, if available, probably comes down to one thing. Nike.

Gerrard or Lampard, Simples. Either that, or find a way they both CAN play in the same team, rather than lamenting they can't. Its good job someone said that petrol and a spark could never play together in an internal combustion engine, else we'd all still be on horseback. Find. A. Way.
