World Cup Squads

Heskey, Upson and Barry shouldn't be there.
Should be Bent, Dawson and Adam Johnson.

Very harsh on Walcott. Should have been there in place of Heskey.
And Dawson/Baines in place of Upson.

Would have brought Parker ahead of Carrick, Bent ahead of Heskey and Johnson ahead of Wright Phillps.

Bent scored 24 goals last season, Heskey 3. Hmmm.

I wouldn't mind but Heskey is so immobile now it is a joke, the wear and tear has defo taken a toll on Heskey now he looks about 50 when he plays, really hope for Englands sake Capello doesn't play the lad at all during the World Cup maybe a cameo vs Algeria.

Dawson would have been a better choice than Upson IMO.

Bent scored 24 goals last season, Heskey 3. Hmmm.

Capello obviously sees something we don't!

Disappointed about Walcott too, it's his time to shine now not Heskey's!

No Rossi for Italy is shocking.

Very harsh on Walcott. Should have been there in place of Heskey.
And Dawson/Baines in place of Upson.

Surely no Baines in place of Upson... 3 left backs?

Yeah well Dawson would do.
Carrick in place of Huddlestone and Parker?

No Rossi for Italy, no Pato for Brazil. Hmmm..

no Pato wtf???

No Dawson I think is ridiculous. Heskey ahead of Bent is just baffling. England won't win the world cup when that lump of sh*te is playin g up front for them.

The Walcott exclusion is becoming one heck of a deal, eh?

I personally feel he doesn't deserve a place this summer and heck, he didn't even deserve it in the last world cup. He has loads of pace and that is his most dangerous weapon, IMO, but rarely see a decent final ball, even though he did set up two goals in the 4-2 loss at Anfield in 2007/2008 and Arshavin's 4th in 2008/2009. I think he still has alot to learn.

I am not very sure about the idea of bringing Heskey but I can see why. It's probably due to England's style of play. Sunderland's style suited Bent but I'm sure Bent would have been more likely to hit the back of the net than Heskey in the World Cup

I agree with you Adryan about Walcott - I think it was the right decision not to take him. The only reason I would've taken him is to come off the bench late in games.

I don't get Heskey either. Never will. People bang on about 'what he brings' but in my opinion that is very little. We'll see anyway. Maybe Capello intends to have Rooney and Crouch as his first pairing in which case things are looking pretty good.

I bet for a final among Spain and England. That would be awesome!!

you can get 12/1 on that - spain v brazil more likely though, surely.

Just on SSN now. Could rule Ivory Coast's chances of getting through the group stages out.

Third Chelsea player to be out of the World Cup?

Ferdinand's gone for a scan on his knee too.

The incident:

Drogba sai machucado durante amistoso contra o Japão

Holy sh*te. That was like my fall couple of weeks ago. My elbow still hurts till today when I leave it straightened.

Weird, I thought it was his left elbow but it's his right.
