Am I the only one who feels it may be time for Ivan to be fazed out? Games like this are a perfect chance to blood a younger player - yet I can see him being given a starting spot.
Don't get me wrong, he's been a good servant for us, but he's getting on a bit and won't be here for ever.
As long as he is
a) the best player for the job AND
b) still intent/considering being there for 2014 we pick him.
If not, we phase him out once we have qualified, not before. I would rather have a somewhat more inexperienced team at the WC than have a DM with a few more games, but be watching (eg.)Honduras play in Brazil.
