who is the worst player to play football for england?

Carlton Palmer is an easy statement to make.  He obviously wasn't good enough to play for England.\nI would also like to nominate Geoff Thomas.  A below average player in a mediocre team (Crystal Palace) should never be capped.  Having said that, it is good to see him in remission from his leukaemia.\nBoth Palmer and Thomas got caps because there was a lack of depth in that position at the time.  A bit like Phil Neville - and his brother come to think of it.\nEvery England manager seems to have one player that only they think is good enough.  It is baffling to the rest of the country but they seem to be in every squad.  Taylor had Palmer, Eriksson has Hargreaves, etc.

I am not sure who my favorite is, but I can tell you my least favorites thus far...  in order from bad to worst they are ..... Bruce Arena for bringing decent players and not allowing them to play their game, and for also allowing our P*ssy of a captain to continually be a giant t*at on the field without ever wanting to pull him off.... Ricardo Lavolpe of Mexico, mainly because he is a trashy Mexican who smokes on the sidelines.... and finally Sven Goran Errikson, who is ruining a perfectly excellent England side by not motivating them and making foolish selections (the exclusion of Jermaine Defoe from the side is one which I hope he deeply regrets), and then playing a washed up d-bag like Michael Owen (one of the worst first touches in football and no longer has the pace to make up for it), and a freakin' scarecrow like Peter Crouch (Wayne Rooney is 3 times the player and about half the size!)  However, I think the two best coaches so far have been Jose Pekermann of Argentina whose substitutions have been brilliant and whose faith in Saviola has paid off massively... and finally Scolari of Portugal has been brilliant as well, i don't need to  explain it, anyone who knows football knows what i am speaking of!\n\nP.S.  I love your inclusion of Suarez, he's done a brilliant job with that team so far and England will almost most certainly be out coached in this next match if Errikson doesn't do something drastic!

it has to be heskey - he couldn't hit a barn door with a leg of lamb.\n\npeter crouch had a rocky start to his liverpool career, but seems to have gelled well with the team.\n\nheskey however, he's the one lad who would always be left on the sidelines at school when picking a team.\nyou must admire his persistence, although he is crap\n\nif i were playing football and it was announced heskey would be playing in my team, i think i'd try to break my leg

Diego Maradonna.  His goal against England was described by him as "A little bit the head of Maradonna, a little bit the hand of god".\n\nIt was described by everyone else as handball, and therefore it should not have stood and he should have been sent off for deliberate handball.

Darren bent would definitely have been in there, highest english scorer in the premiership and doesn't even get on the stand by list? unbelievable! if was playing for any of the top clubs (chelsea, man u, arsenal etc) he would have been in. i would have dropped beckam, he is passed it and the only trick in his bag is free kicks, which lamps or gerrard can do just as well!!

I hope he becomes a good player. I doubt he'll ever be World class, but he'll probably be pretty good. Alexander Hleb was a bad move. He sucked with Moldova when they lost to Scotland just before he signed with the Gooners. Oh, I'm a Gooner, by the way.

Haha, the harshist criticism yet!\n\nI think he can play football (a lot of people say he plays well in the German league), but he is total crap for England.\n\nI think perhaps Hargreaves is bribing Sven, perhaps he has pictures of Sven having a 3sum with Richard & Judy, or something else as twisted as that.

Thiery, Ronaldinho, Rooney, Beckham, Lampard, Ronaldo, V.Niestelroy, there are too many Thiery is one scary forward through...BEcks has the best foot in football handsdown, Rooney has more heart but not much composure, Ronaldo is a lazy goal scorer but damn good one at that..the list goes on on on

so far it's either hernan crespo of argentina or klose of germany.  one player that you can't over look regardless of missing the first game and not starting the second is wayne rooney because he brought england the jolt of electricity that they needed.  after he came in they actually looked like a football team, rather than 11 men running up and down the field
