The Football Association (FA) has just announced the final England 23-man squad for the World Cup. They are:
- David James
- Joe Hart
- Robert Green
- John Terry
- Jamie Carragher
- Glen Johnson
- Rio Ferdinand
- Ashley Cole
- Stephen Warnock
- Matthew Upson
- Ledley King
- Joe Cole
- Gareth Barry
- Aaron Lennon
- Shaun Wright-Phillips
- James Milner
- Steven Gerrard
- Frank Lampard
- Michael Carrick
- Emile Heskey
- Peter Crouch
- Wayne Rooney
- Jermain Defoe
So the big news is that there’s no room for Theo Walcott (replaced by Joe Cole). There is also no room for Darren Bent, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Scott Parker and others.
After a lot of suspense, there are no big surprises to me in the squad. The 23 is the best team that England has and I completely agree with Fabio’s decision to select Joe Cole instead of Walcott. The Arsenal winger is fast but is completely ineffective with his final ball.
What are your thoughts regarding Capello’s selection?
