I'm the England Manager

Golden Rules

1. Only pick players that are fully fit
2. Only pick players to play in a position they are familiar with - no shoe horning players into the team playing in an unfamiliar role
3. A great team is not necessarily made up of the best 11 individuals -- enabling players, water carriers, etc are required, players with a small ego that don't need to be the star man
4. Develop a system and use it throughout the qualifying games - keep it simple (there's not enough time with the players to implement anything too complex), and base it on what the players are already doing with their club. If a player is injured bring in the next best player to carry out that role, don't try to amend the system.
5. Encourage the players to play with freedom, don't overload them with tactical details. Encourage them to be adaptable, trust their skills
