I work with a Liverpool fan and a United fan. Both think my belief that Wilshere will start at the

World Cup. The Liverpool fan was even surprised that he was going.

I really think he's one of Arsenal's best players. He's one of England's only players with that 'burst' to go past a player or two.

Have I just got rose tinted specs on? :-(

They seem to think Henderson will start with Gerrard because it's worked for Liverpool this season.

Is that really the best this country can produce :-(

[PSRB]

Lucas Moura for a start

IF Hodgson has a proper go, there are a few exciting options in midfield

A midfield axis of Gerrard and Wilshere is just too slow, plus Henderson has been fit and playing all season, alongside Gerrard as well.

Maybe something like

...............Hart..............

Johnson....Cahill..Jagielka.....Baines

........Henderson...Gerrard........

Sterling.......Rooney........Lallana

.............Sturridge..........

Maybe they will do better than I expect.

I think they will surprise a few people. I reckon they'll beat Italy at least.

[PSRB]

Italy draw and then beat the other 2
