Here are Sven's men for Portugal.
Do you think he is making the right decisions?, what would you change?, what do you think our chances are of winning?

Aaaahhhh, so many questions, so little time

An award for the most contradictory statement this century?

You really dont know what you're talking about do you.

Nicky Butt has more experience in situation and is an overall calmer player.

Again Nicky Butt was the calmest player in the team and was the most consistent.

Neither Scott Parker or Nicky Butt have really played well this season and I would have been pleased to have seen both of them at EURO 2004.

Forest:

a) Whats to say Butt has a better attitude than Parker?
b) In what way was Butt superb at the last World Cup, I don't remember him doing a whole lot?
c) Parker is so so so much more deserved of that spot after this superb season.

Not one left footed midfielder? No room for either Alan Thompson or Gareth Barry?

Also I am distraught they my call up has been overlooked. A couple of years ago I scored six goals in a Cornish League lower division friendly. Surely based on that form I should have ousted Heskey...

Nicky Butt has the right personality.

I was disappointed to see Nicky Butt there at first, but then I remembered back to World Cup 2002, he was probably our best player at the tournament.

I think its a shame Defoe wasn't included, and Butt over Parker? What has Sven been smoking? Butt hasn't played most of the season and I believe Parker to be a better player than him now.

He's hardly done much in the goal scoring department, I have been more impressed with Mark Viduka.

Wayne Rooney is stronger than James Milner and even though young, has more experience and overall looks a better player.

Bit of bias, I sense...

I know, good to see Scott Parker there, he was close to going to EURO 2004 - he would have probably, had there been an injury in midfield too.
