England probably has the best players in the present squad than they ever had, too bad they have such a plonker of a manager.
I am sure Mourinho or Benitez or even Alex Ferguson would be able to make this present England team a real contender in the World Cup Finals and go to at least the semis or runner-up, or even win it with some luck. You still do need a dose of luck but great teams are able to either capitalise clinically with half a slice of luck or make their own luck.
Becks should not be the captain, it should go to a more natural leader like John Terry. As to who should partner him, the main contenders should be Campbell, Carra and Rio in that order.
