Now that's an unexpected comeback! Will we also have Riffster come to
celebrate the Unnameables' treble?

Ciao, Massa

FYI, Camoranesi is reportedly about to be cut:

Ok I will do a hard one

Holland

1.Steklenberg
2. Van Bronkhurst
3. Mathisjen
4. Heitinga
5. Bouhlarouz
6. De Jong
7. Sneijder
8. Van Bommel
9. Kuyt
10 Robben
11. Huntelaar

I probably should not pick Bouhlarouz and it seems strange that
players like Van der Vaart, Van Persie or Ryan Babel will not start?

Based on your assumptions about who will start for England, I'll choose:

USA

GK Hahnemann--our third best, just to be sporting

LB Bornstein
CB Onyewu
CB Goodson
RB Cherundolo
RM Donovan
DM Bradley (even though there are several others I would have preferred)
AM Torres
LM Rogers
ST Buddle
ST Gomez

Reserves:

Demerit
Dempsey
Edu

Torres & Gomez get to share the free kick duties, Torres takes corner kicks.
Donovan, Buddle, Gomez and Dempsey (as substitute) will all score!!!

All of the above assumes that you are correct, and that Rooney will
start, although, I'm not going to be a bit surprised if between now and
then he comes up with an excuse (injury, suspension or arrest) for not
showing up at all.

Is Nery Castillo still in the mix?
