Sven's Vague Comments Give False Hope To Fringe Players

Is anyone else tired of hearing Sven say the door is still open? Yesterday he gave us this vague comment:
"We will announce the World Cup squad in May so of course there is time for players to force their way into the squad. The Uruguay game is the last game before the World Cup, but after it I will be going around watching matches as usual.

The reality is that certain players can book their summer holidays now. I'm talking about the likes James Beattie, Andy Johnson and Scott Parker. Players who Sven has overlooked all season but who might think they have a chance and will have their hopes falsely raised by Sven's comments.

He's never been a manager that selects teams on form. He should just be honest and confirm that no matter how badly they play between now and May, Jermaine Jenas and Owen Hargreaves will make the final 23.

Harsh words somewhat.

Am inclined to agree with you though boss.

Exactly what Jermaine Jenas and Owen Hargreaves have to do to not get called up is a good question.

I hope they prove me wrong come Germany. When Jenas or Hargreaves score the winning goal in the World Cup final, you and I can share the humble pie between us, while cheering the roof off.
