Got a feeling we're gunna give a good showing tomoz. For some strange reason I'm really looking forward to it and I don't usually feel like that with England it must be these games I've watched so far excellent quality.
Probably to do with lack of expectation. Rest of the world don't even think we'll make it out the group stages.
I think Hodgson needs to throw in the likes of Barkley and Sterling. Problem with previous years is it became too predictable and players were selected on how big a household name they were. The Beckham/Lampard/Gerrard midfield era had a stranglehold on the international team. By 2004, those players had peaked on the international stage and no one could get a look in unless you played for one of the "big four". Though I do think South Africa sent alarm bells ringing.
Players are not in form forever, some, perhaps alot, soon go to shit. Adam Johnson is a good example, during 2008, when he was running riot for Middlesbrough, he should've been selected for England, not two years later. I think we've got it right this time though, Sterling, Sturridge, Barkley etc. are all being thrown in there straight away.

Can't argue with any of that mate Sterling all day long would be in my 11 tomorrow.
