England Squad

[WhiskeyJar]

Rooney not being good enough to play at the highest level anymore could also be a reason.

What on earth do you mean?

He had just secured a move to the MLS.

 

Only world stars at the prime of their career go there. Erm right?

[The Guest]

nobody in London apart from a Tottenham supporter would want Kane to be captain of England.

Who said anything about London? Even so that’s nonsense.

I really hope it isn't Henderson so he does not have to take the dogs abuse as captain off all the morons across the country after Ingerlunds inevitable meek elimination.

He’ll be lethargic at this World Cup after lifting Big Ears over his head for a few weeks.

Not making the starting eleven at Everton at times should have made any talk surrounding his selection moot.

[WhiskeyJar]

Ha wrong thread.

 

Nothing to see here.

Slackjaw named captain. Not that I give much of a shite about ingurland but why appoint a proven selfish cunt as captain? And it means he'll be mumbling his way through most of the pressers too.

Good...stops all the ingermongs getting on hendo's back blaming him when the useless twats inevitably get dicked...let pelvis face take the shite....

Is a fair point.

Is a fair point.

The thick twat missing an open goal or even better the deciding penalty on top would be great too.

[Jairzinho]

A fitting captain.

[clangers]

So Kane, who doesn't captain his club side is picked over the club captain of a team he's led to the CL final? 

 

Good, at least Henderson won't have to front up the inevitable cluster fuck coming.

[Elite]

I'm glad Kanes captain, Hendo seems brittle enough without the whole nation blaming him for us losing to Panama.

[The Guest]

Let’s see how he behaves at the World Cup. I think there will be issues and they will spill over into games. If he starts shooting from all angles to become England’s bestest goalscorer of all time to the detriment of the team I don’t think he’s going to have everybody up his arse like he has at Spurs.

[johnsusername]

I couldn't name the England team if you put a gun to my head. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Kane was absolute dogshit at the last tournament, and it probably cost England because Hodgson laboured with him hoping he'd find form. There's not been a formation that fits him and Vardy into the side together well, so he should be a rotatable figure; instead, he's now the first name on the team sheet.

 

Strange decision, unless it's come from the FA, after his crying about their joke, and they're now trying to tickle his balls to make him feel better.

 

Good goalscorer, but the captain should be a player who gets into every formation, whether you're having the lion share of possession, or counter-attacking. Kane wouldn't be up top for the latter, or at least shouldn't be.

[clangers]

As a few other's have pointed out, England look much better with Vardy up front than Kane. If they're going to play one up front it's much better to have someone with pace.

 

As usual the England manager will go with the media darling. We all know Kane is only going to be interested in the golden boot.

[rubble-rouser]

That's a slightly odd appointment because Southgate seems to want to make it about the team first, and the only prima donna in the squad is being put in charge.

Sterling and Kane are probably the only certain starters from the current squad for the next 5 years. In a way it makes sense for him to choose Kane as Sterling’s not the strongest mentally e.g., always underperforms at Anfield under intense pressure.

[Dr Nowt]

The Hubble Space Telescope wouldn’t be able to detect the fucks I have to give about who is made England captain.

[Jairzinho]

Doubt it was his decision.

[El Rojo]

At least the tabloid graphic designers won't have too much work to do in changing his head into a root vegetable for the post-humiliating exit front pages.

[aws]

The letter confirming the captaincy was sent recorded delivery to Hendo but Kane claimed it at the sorting office.

Poor choice imo, Kane will find it difficult to give instructions and breathe through his mouth at the same time.
