Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham)

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Michael Dawson (Spurs), Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Ledley King (Spurs), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa)

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Man City), Michael Carrick (Man Utd), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Huddlestone (Spurs), Adam Johnson (Man City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Aaron Lennon (Spurs), James Milner (Aston Villa), Scott Parker (West Ham), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Man City)

Forwards: Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Spurs), Jermain Defoe (Spurs), Emile Heskey (Aston Villa), Wayne Rooney (Man utd)

Your thoughts? Quite bummed hargreaves didn;t make it but I knew it would always be unlikely he'd make it. Still reckon they look weak upfront except for Rooney.

Hargreaves was never gonna make that squad. Has Carragher formally rescinded his retirement from international duty and agreed to join the squad? For me, Heskey hasn't done enough this season to make it, he hardly played.

Capello better hope and pray he's not struck by injuries - Joe Cole, Ledley King and Aaron Lennon in particular are very prone to collapsing.

They should kick out Walcott - he's had a crappy season and what he can bring to the team, SWP is already providing
I'd take Milner, Gerrard, Huddlestone, Carrick, Barry, Lampard, Lennon, Cole and SWP
Defenders... Ashley Cole, Terry, Dawson, Warnock, Johnson, King, Ferdninand
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham)
Strikers: Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Spurs), Jermain Defoe (Spurs), Wayne Rooney (Man utd)

Reports coming in suggest John Terry has broken his metatarsal. Sol Campbell is on standby as a possible replacement. I'm not sure if Sky has the full story yet, but it seems JT has been injured.

edit: Sky Sports are on to it: http://www.skysports.com/football/world-cup-2010/story/0,27032,12016_6149298,00.html

All the sites I see regarding JT is it's just a precautionery thing.

the info about the metatarsal is from a friend who is a sports writer in the UK - he never did like the Chavs much! heh
