I don't think Sven could legislate for the loss of Ferdinand, Southgate, Woodgate and then Terry. Robinson has also had plenty of game time in friendlies, and has spent plenty of time in the squad. He is a professional and would have been as ready as possible to play against Poland. He wasn't thrown into the deep end.

Ferdinand was gone in Feb, Woodate is always injured and I think King was ahead of Southgate in the pecking order.

Robinson got plenty of game time in meaningless friendlies after Sven had substitued 8 players and turned the game into a farce.

Yeah, but that's one country. You play these matches:

Valencia vs. Italy
Arsenal vs. Argentina
Chelsea vs. France
Barcelona vs. Greece
Milan vs. Spain

the club side would win every time. And Brazil aren't that good either.

Draw
Arsenal
France
Barcelona
Milan

Especially on France, who are complete crap at the moment. France and Italy are going by reputation and nothing else, both are utterly useless.

Agreed, French television are saying that Wenger has said France's time is over at the top. However there's some good young 'uns coming through so it might not be for long.
