Here is an England team I picked from the available players who were not selected for the actual squad. Any constructive views are welcome, otherwise ignore.
Goalkeeper - David Stockdale (Fulham)
Defense - Micah Richards (Man.City), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Curtis Davis (Hull), Ashley Cole (Chelsea)
Midfield - Aaron Lennon (Tottenham), Scott Parker (Fulham), Steve Sidwell (Stoke), Nathan Dyer (Swansea)
Forwards - Jermaine Defoe (Toronto), Andy Carroll (West Ham).
I can't imagine this team doing well in international football.....Did we learn nothing from the Sidwell/Parker in CM last season!!!!
Almost as depressing as the actual 2006 squad!
Stockdale is far better than Ruddy who has been called up. Richards is better than the hapless Glenn Johnson. Sidwell for me is the best central midfielder in England, Parker was captain recently, Defoe has never let England down and Carroll is better than Lambert. But you are welcome to your views.

Deary me....You really discredit yourself with statements like 'Sidwell for me is the best central midfielder in England'. Never have I heard such nonsense. Carroll isn't better than Lambert either. He potentially will be if he remains fit but right now he just isn't.
Right back for England is a calamity at the moment. If Richards had played more than 3 games in 2 seasons then he'd probably up be competing for the squad, but the lad seems happy just taken his wages at City. Surprised you chose richards over walker? Sidwell and Parker were the CM partnership for us the large part of last season, and look what happened there, neither are international quality anymore. Have you not included injured players who didnt go? Just wondering why you chose andy carroll over jay rodriguez?

I didn't include the ones Hodgson couldn't select either like Walker, Townsend, Terry and Rodriguez because of injury/unavailability, otherwise I would have.
Goalkeepers: David Stockdale, John Ruddy, Jack Butland, Jonathan Bond, Alex McCarthy
Defenders: John Stones, Jon Flanagan, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Micah Richards, Kyle Walker, Steven Caulker, Kieran Gibbs
Midfielders: Michael Carrick, Scott Parker, Tom Cleverly, Ashley Young, Andros Townsend, Wilfried Zaha, Theo Walcott, Jay Rodriguez.
Strikers: Andy Carroll, Jermain Defoe.
Young, but unrealistic:
Liam Moore, Luke Garbutt, Nat Chalobah, Josh McEachran, James Ward-Prowse, Danny Ings, Nathan Redmond, Ravel Morrison, Andre Wisdom, Will Hughes, Tom Carroll, Jonjo Shelvey, Nick Powell, Patrick Bamford, Cauley Woodrow, Diego Poyet.

Fair enough. Delph had a great season at Villa so he would be in there for me over parker. I'd have picked Huddlestone over sidwell as well, i was surprised he didn't get a mention during the build up seeing as Hull would of probably gone down if it wasn't for him.

Some very interesting ones you picked FPT. I like Jonjo Shelvey, Danny Ings, Hughes and Woodrow is looking good. And yes MiltonBurrows, Fabian Delph was terrific against Chelsea. You two have given me reason to reconsider, and you know your football!!

I didn't pick anyone! Just a list of English players not at the World Cup - Fabian Delph is a good addition though. Could add Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore, Curtis Davies and Mark Noble whilst I'm here.
Out of those, I'd go for:
Stockdale
Stones Richards Caulker Gibbs
Carrick Shelvey
Walcott Zaha Rodriguez
Carroll
Bench: Ruddy, Cole, Walker, Huddlestone, Delph, Townsend, Ings

Agreed. This team would get crushed in the World Cup.
That is one of the worst teams I think I have seen. Would get destroyed.
I was picking from the players available NOT SELECTED by Roy Hodgson. I still think Sidwell is the best midfielder.
Nick gets bored, let's go to FoF, they are so easy to wind up. Job done.

Crikey a Sidwell/Parker central midfield? After this season?! No thanks.
I'd go:
Ruddy
Walker
Caulker
Davies
Cole
Townsend
Carrick
Barry (great season by the way)
Huddlestone
Zaha
Carroll
I feel that team has plenty of pace and would be pretty direct, so would do ok. Didn't include Walcott and Rodriguez as they wouldve been too injured to play any part in the tournament, even if it started now.
Rest of my 30 man squad:
Stockdale
Green
Flanagan
Stones
Gibbs
Lescott
Richards
Cleverley
Young
Delph
Noble
Osman
Shelvey
Lennon
Dyer
Adam Johnson
Defoe
Crouch (decent season)
Ings

So now you are making the assumption that quality is proportional to price?
Carroll was Hodgson's first choice when he came into the job. His price tag was the valuation at the time, and he was still sold for over £15m a year ago. I think he is the future and holds the ball up better than Lambert.
Parker impressed me in an England shirt, but I could see Delph or Shelvey instead. Huddlestone was less impressive this season for me. Caulker could play instead, just didn't want to have too many Tottenham or ex-Spurs in team.

'I think he is the future' Isn't that exactly what I said? With current form Lambert is the smart choice, but Carroll if he remains fit, is indeed a future seection. Parker and Sidwell however, are most definitly not.

Parker impressed me in an England shirt, 2 or 3 years ago. No one in our squad warranted a England Call up, or even came close to it. We were dross and thats why we got relegated.
You are entitled to your opinion, but i think the majority of fulham fans and fans across the nation eould disagree with you that sidwell is the best midfielder in England. He's just gone to Stoke, which sums up what kind of player he is for me. But don't get me wrong, he was terrific for us last season.
As for the cost of Carroll over Lambert, young english players are well known to be drastically over priced. In both transfers, both clubs admitted in paying over the odds for andy carroll, with david gold even admitting that the Carroll transfer was a mistake! Lambert has warrented that place in the scoring over 30 goals in the PL over 2 seasons. Something Carroll has yet to do.
My starting XI would be
Ruddy
Flanagan-Caulker-Stones-Cole
Carrick-Shelvey
Walcott-Rodriguez-Townsend
Defoe
The rest of the squad would be Stockdale, Butland, Walker, Terry, Clyne, Lennon, Huddlestone, Rodwell, Barry, Morrison, Carroll, Wickham.
Are we talking about the World Cup four years ago? If not, then I'm not sure why people are including Ashley Cole. He's been pretty bad for three years now. In addition to Baines and Shaw, Kieran Gibbs, Danny Rose and Jon Flanagan were all better than Cole this past season.

Edited to make it clearer.
Its my right to belittle opinions if statements like 'Sidwell is the best midfielder in England' arise. I never stated he had no right to an opinion, I merely discredited it.
