GAMBLOG UK - WE ARE ENGLAND - Umbro - England Team Selection - David James

A new England team blog called 45 Minutes Each Way is interested to know if Umbro are picking the England football team, or what? The editor Daryl raises the selection/sponsorship question, based upon Umbro's vice president Martin Prothero's latest comments about the Man City and England 3rd string goalie David James. England blog comment - Umbro, the kit manufacturers have recently finalised a £200million deal with the FA to extend their sponsorship until 2014 with the 3 lions. I guess that means Umbro do have some sort of direct line to the bowels of the England team setup.

But, I personally doubt the sponsors have any say whatsoever on whether the ex number 1 England goalkeeper David James, or any other English international soccer players for that matter, should or should not be selected in Sven Goran Eriksson's 2005/2006 World Cup squad.
