England All Stars

Iâ??ve been trawling the Internet to find an old Chinese proverb that would roughly translate as â??one broken metatarsal does not a world cup disaster makeâ?. Sadly, no such proverb exists and so Iâ??ve settled on that eastern golden oldie â??A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,â? or in Rooneyâ??s case, a hobble. I found a few other good ones during my search, starting with another one for Wonderboy Wayne: â??everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees itâ?. And hereâ??s one for the whole team: â??our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fallâ?.

Since thereâ??s no actual football to talk about yet (except for the B Team game, and frankly if embryonic Theo Walcott isnâ??t even in the starting eleven for that then what the fuck is going on?) Iâ??ve been busy setting up my ITV fantasy football team:

GK P Cech (CZE)
GK J Lehmann (GER)

DF G Heinze (ARG)
DF R Carlos (BRA)
DF J Terry (ENG)
DF A Nesta (ITA)
DF K Toure (IVC)

MF P Nedved (CZE)
MF S Gerrard (ENG)
MF C Makelele (FRA)
MF M Essien (GHA)
MF F Ljungberg (SWE)

ST Ronaldinho (BRA)
ST T Henry (FRA)
ST F Totti (ITA)

So these are my Allstars. Reckon you can do better? Or are you scared of being beaten by a girl? Go here and pit your wits (such as they are) against me. Email me your team or put it in the comments box and weâ??ll see who comes out on top.

Thatâ??s all for now.

COME ON ENGLAND
