swear to god if Wilshere or Welbeck start I will cry....who knows. Wish we coulda brought JT along with us even if he is a racist love cheat.

Wilshere is better than Henderson so I don't mind if he starts, and I don't mind if Henderson starts because he links up well with Gerrard. Personally, this is how I would go:

 

 

Hart

Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines

Henderson Gerrard

Barkley Rooney Sterling

Sturridge

I only pick Johnson since we have no other natural right back. Bring on Ox late on to inject energy when everyone else is tired. Would set Henderson to man mark Pirlo to prevent him from controlling the game too much. Lallana would also be a good sub, along with Phil Jones to ensure our backline doesn't fade.

Is Ox fit enough to play at all today? If not I'd have Lallana instead of Barkley with Barkley coming off the bench if we're losing. He gave the ball away a lot in the last friendly so wouldn't want him starting if we're trying to control the game.

Yeah I'm watching, got a bet on Colombia to win. Only small one but money's money :) Think they are definitely missing Falcao (who wouldn't?), need someone to score the chances they're creating.

I am watching the game now as well. Columbia clearly has more talent, but are not really showing their class. They are mostly waiting for Greece to attack and they are failing to do it effectively. I think Columbia will struggle against a proper opponent though if they use similar tactics
