Would England ever drop

[keniget]

A player like Benzema?

Watching France now and they're so badly missing a top striker. Still, they were probably right to drop him.

Fowler never got a look in... Granted he had Shearer ahead of him..

 

[Ryan]

Well they did it with Terry and Ferdinand - albeit for slightly different reasons, so yeah I think they probably would.

Shearer kicked someone in the head and got away with it....so no.

England drop players that have done well for the national team and not so well for club. Sometimes teams are selected on media choice.

 

[hmmmmm1]

The charges hanging over him are bit servere.

I may be alone here but I actually think Giroud is quite tailor made for their front spot - they've got so much flair in midfield and on the wings that they need a strong, powerful lad on top. I'd play Giroud over Benzema in that team and with a one-striker-only formation.

*I've even backed him to be top scorer of the tournament why that header of his yesterday should've so much gone in..
