    World Cup 2010

    Seriously, does anyone in World Football have a better squad than England?

    Calm down, my attempt at ironic humour there...

    Now, my point. Come World Cup 2010, should England get there, and Fabio Capello is putting together his 23 man squad; instead of taking three goalkeepers, as is the convention, why not make room for Rory Delap?

    Imagine - 119th minute of the World Cup Final and England have a throw.

    The board goes up, substitution - Delap for Gerrard (Delap making his debut). Delap winds up a long throw straight onto Crouch's head....GOAL! Simple as that!

    After all, if there was room for Walcott at the last World Cup, there must surely be room for Delap?

    Does anyone in World football have a better thrown in taker than England??

    Aside from him having already been capped for the Republic of Ireland, that is a fcuking fantastic idea.

      Maicon is almost as good as Delap when it comes to long throws, and can do a few other things as well.

        I was thinking like a reverse Andy Townsend - if John Terry can get deserved red cards reversed, surely he can get Delap sorted for England??

        EDIT

        I was all wrong on this - far from being a reverse Andy Townsend, he has done an exact Andy Townsend by actually being English but turning out for Eire.

        I'm stupid.

        I'll shut up now.
