<div class="quote_poster">kobimel Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Keep dreaming. It's gonna be a tie, probably 1-1. You guys are missing a lot of players, and Gerrard+Hargreaves are questionable as well. Plus, Benayoun and Ben Haim (play for Liverpool and Chelsea) are on fire lately and everyone on our team is determined. No pressure on Israel since nobody expects to win, but England is so packed tight with pressure (especially McClaren who'll probably be fired if they lose) that the team will be effected heavily by it.
Who knows, maybe England will win it 3-0, but I'm expecting a tie game. Don't rule out an Israeli win though, we just beat Serbia in basketball when nobody though we could, so who knows. Anyway, enjoy the game dude, where are you sitting?</div>
Ben Foster, Gary Neville, Ledley King, Sol Campbell, Wayne Bridge, Kieron Dyer, Aaron Lennon and Peter Crouch wouldn't start anyway. This just means that England lack the depth that they usually has, but they can only make 3 subs anyway. They are only truly missing Frank Lampard, which is a bonus if anything, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. Possibly add in Peter Crouch since he would start over, don't laugh, Emile Heskey.
So England's starting lineup will be:
Paul Robinson in goal (should be David James)
Micah Richards at right full back (best right back in the work IMO)
John Terry and Rio Ferdinand at centre half (one of the best duos in the World)
Ashley Cole at left full back
Shaun Wright-Phillips on the right wing (possibly on a par with Beckham at the moment, definitely better than Lennon)
Owen Hargreaves playing a holding midfield role, possibly with a slight thigh strain
Joe Cole playing left midfield (England still need a true left mid, but Cole can do the job)
Steven Gerrard bursting through the midfield (playing with injections for a broken toe, England really need Paul Scholes to come out of International retirement for this game)
Michael Owen (back on form) playing off Emile Heskey (if he can throw his weight about, this could be formidable).
Against what? Tal Ben Haim and Yossi Benayoun (amongst others). England should win easily. I'll go ahead and predict 3-1.
