Personally I doubt if defensive midfielder Hargreaves has impressed enough in an England shirt to warrant a place in the England world cup squad.
I would prefer to see Phil Neville be on the bench as cover rather than Hargreaves.
Michael Carrick has impressed for Spurs this season and for England when he started last year.
Carrick can tackle and pass in the anchor man position just in front of the England defense much better than Hargreaves.
I?m very exciting for today, If Rooney is fully recovered, of course he should play in the group stages.what do you think? How about tomorrow?
Anyway,Thank you for your site about world cup site and By the way,I?d like to exchange message with you,and nice weekend
