If you ask me, I have a feeling that the team which plays the best as a team this time will take the trophy. Its a big plus that many big names of all the fancied sides are either retired or left out.

England have announced their final squad. For all the UK residents of HDC, here it is -

Goalkeepers:

Robert Green (West Ham United),
Joe Hart (Manchester City),
David James (Portsmouth).

Defenders:

Jamie Carragher (Liverpool),
Ashley Cole (Chelsea),
Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United),
Glen Johnson (Liverpool),
Ledley King (Tottenham Hotspur),
John Terry (Chelsea),
Matthew Upson (West Ham United),
Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa).

Midfielders:

Gareth Barry (Manchester City),
Michael Carrick (Manchester United),
Joe Cole (Chelsea),
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool),
Frank Lampard (Chelsea),
Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur),
James Milner (Aston Villa),
Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City).

Forwards:

Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur),
