... is, in the words of Football365, "absolutely mental:"
Robinson (Tottenham), James (Manchester City), Green (Norwich), G Neville (Manchester United), R Ferdinand (Manchester United), Terry (Chelsea), A Cole (Arsenal), Campbell (Arsenal), Carragher (Liverpool), Bridge (Chelsea), Beckham (Real Madrid), Carrick (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Jenas (Totenham), Downing (Middlesbrough), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United), Owen (Newcastle), Crouch (Liverpool), Walcott (Arsenal).
Walcott? The 17 year old who hasn't yet had a first team game for Arsenal? That's bizarre.
Also bizarre: of the four strikers in the squad, one currently resides in an oxygen tank, and one is not yet a legal adult. Bearing that in mind, and the includion of Lennon and Downing, might Sven go 4-3-3 with wingers in Germany this summer?
UPDATE: After the initial shock, the reaction is positive; F365 have amended the adverb to "brilliantly." And their correspondents seem to like it too.

Didn't FIFA pass a rule that said no one named "Neville" may be present on a World Cup winning team?
Or am I confusing that with the David James rule?
(David Freaking James. I'd bench him behind Garth Lagerwey if I coached a team and my roster had been picked by a chimpanzee.)
You know, Garth Lagerway would probably be a better choice than James... at least he brings the humor value. Team chemistry and all that.
Actually, it's Robert Green as the 3rd choice keeper that I can't believe. Sure, I know you never use your 3rd choice keeper, yada yada. But seriously, this guy was on a team that finished 9th in the second division! It'd be like if we called up whoever keeps goal for the Virginia Beach Mariners. Plus, he's not even that good.
