If they include Heskey and not him...

[karezza]

Walcott is useless.

[Jayson]

Bent's out too

Sooo annoyed about Theo though, I mean sure he's had a really rubbish season but he's better than Lennon and SWP imo.

[Shaun]

Hat-tricks against Croatia are not useless.

[30stone]

Geez!!!

Walcot?? and bent?


If heskey is included fabio wont be as loved i dont think..

[Novo]

I had a feeling he would be dropped

SWP is a much better Option then Walcott better footballing brain and Lennon has performed better then Walcott throughout last season

[30stone]

Problem is internationally walcott seems to still perform better than both.


Walcott will have a good year next season i think.. hes maturing the others are 24/25 and 28 hes only what 20 - 21..

[Novo]

SWP Knows how to control the ball and he is better at crossing then Walcott, walcott seems to be scared of taking defenders on as well but SWP just skips past them

[bbfan1991]

Lennon and SWP are way better than Walcott IMO.

Won't be impressed if Heskey is included when Darren Bent isn't.

1600: Breaking news: The seven England players to miss out on a World Cup place are: Leighton Baines, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Scott Parker, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, Darren Bent.

ENGLAND'S 2010 WORLD CUP SQUA
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.
Defenders: Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock
Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Forwards: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney

[Brad.]

I would go with a starting XI of;

---------------------------Hart

--Johnson--------Ferdinand---Terry--------A.Cole

--Wright-Phillips---Barry-------Lampard----J.Cole

------------------Rooney----Crouch

[Novo]

---------------------------James

--Johnson--------Ferdinand---Terry--------A.Cole

--Wright-Phillips---Gerrard-------Lampard----J.Cole

------------------Rooney----Crouch

[Novo]

Gerrard and Rooney are the Key to Success in this tournament

Liverpool's Key player and United's key player.. you couldn't write a better script

[Jayson]

Hart

Johnson________Terry________Ferdinand________Cole

SWP________Gerrard________Lampard________Cole

Rooney________Defoe

[Brad.]

The only reason Heskey is going is that he combines well with Rooney and can hold the ball up more effectively than Bent.

I agree Walcott s been **** the last few England games, got no balls! Ive always been a fan of SWP

[setanta]

Carrick is going? He's been shi%e all season and Barry is still dodgy at moment with his fitness, right? That's strange. Thought Parker had a chance there.

But nah, Walcott shouldn't be going.

[AJ.]

Walcott is crap compared to Lennon, I picked the right 23 except I would have took A.Johnson :/ Gives us something different.

[Chels]

SWP over Johnson was a joke imo

Is Cappello on crack

[Novo]

Gerrard: " Who is in our group again wayne lad "

Rooney: " think it's USA slovenia and Algeria stevie kid "

Gerrard: " Who have ireland got in their group laa "

Rooney: " they didn't make the world cup stevie! "

Gerrard: " I know i was messin! "

Rooney + Gerrard: " Hahahahahahha "

SWP has more pace and isn't afraid of going past players. He shows a lot of determination when he's playing, ie; the Japan game.

I don't know too much about Johnson but I think the element of surprise he offers could also be emulated by SWP.

[setanta]

Well Andy, if they play in the formation you've chosen for them against the States they wont be laughing afterwards.

johnson is quality, whilst he played for boro whenever he ran at our defence i sh*t myself. can't believe he wasn't picked

and heskey as well wtf, may as well have taken jay bothroyd
