Hmm a few in who based on performance should not be.
Smalling and Jones are extremely lucky to go, both were average at best this year. Personally I would have taken Stones and Flanagan, both of whom had exceptional seasons this time round and were far more impressive than the Utd pair.

Apart from that I think this is the best squad Hodgeson could have come up with.

So.... how will England do?

I can see them making the quarter finals, then all you need is luck from there, I can also see them not progressing past Italy and Uruguay in their group.
