I think that while the 2006 England WC team was arguably more talented except for the goalkeeper, this squad might just be a better 'team'. Capello's choices have given England options. Bent=Defoe. Heskey is a different player with different attributes. Plus he seems to be a well-liked guy in and around the squad. Terry's indiscretions and Cashley Cole's personal drama aside, they seem to be a tight-knit team - free of the encumbrances of the WAG/Beckham sideshow.
ya it has been a rough position to fill ever since Seaman retired, I think Joe Hart is a great talent though and that probly starting at the Euro's in 2012 could hold the position for the next decade

The WAG sideshow seems to have been ended by Capello thankfully, I have heard multiple players say they have told their WAG's not to come to South Africa because this is a business trip not a vacation
