Placing the oft-maligned diamond formation into a hexagonal honey-comb lattice utilises the strongest materials known to Man and Bee. It's about time Sven was stung into action!

Is he crazy? By playing a 4-1-1-4 system there is a quick transference of the ball from defence to attack. The full backs would be more like 'ball wardens' and the central midifeld partnership akin to a scrum-half and fly-half in rugby union. If England use the 'I' formation in the World Cup I can guarantee results. When will SGE give the ‘I’ formation a run out? Is he crazy?

As well as freeing up space on the pitch by sacrificing a man, the formation gives the opportunity for the back line to focus on their jobs and the midfielders to express themselves. Apparently American Samoa have had limited success with this approach but have been involved in some high scoring games. It can’t be long before Sven plumps for the ‘Atlantic 2-5-2′ formation.

If midfielders are supposed to attack and defend, then 10 midfielders could do the work of 20 separate attackers/defenders! Simple arithmetic applied to devastating effect. this system would also allow England to play Beckham, Wright-Philips and Gerrard on the right, altough it does also multiply three-fold our perennial achilles heel, of who to play on the left!

Long balls might not be attractive, but they sure are effective, especially with Peter 'Crafty' Crouch up front.
