He didn't break sweat in the Trinidad game. He isn't fast. He certainly isn't skilful. His passes and crosses aren't accurate. He often passes to players under more pressure than he is. All too often Trinidad players were getting round him easily. But nobody ever criticises him. boycott-football.tk What exactly does Ashley Cole bring to the England team?

Before anyone else steps in: 1. The "UK" is not taking part in the World Cup. England is. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all failed to qualify. 2. People in Scotland in particular (who are happy to hate the English for no reason anyway) have a massive loathing for the huge amount of press that the England Football team get. And will be actively supporting any team that England play. Trinidad and Tobago are current favourites, as may of their team play in Scotland, and they have a played called 'Jason Scotland'. (So that makes racism alright......) I think you’re in for a hefty lynching.

Erm, you do know that "the UK" doesn't have a football team, yes? It's England playing in the World Cup, not "the UK". Maybe you were being ironic, I'm not sure :-) “Part of me would love for the UK to …”
