England's 30 man provisional World Cup squad

Firstly, who'd you stick in there?

And secondly, what time is it out?

GK - Green, Hart, James, Kirkland

Defenders - Terry, Ferdinand, Carragher, Johnson, Cole, Baines, Shawcross, Upson, Cahill, Warnock

Midfielders - Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Johnson, Lennon, Wright-Phillips, Young, Carrick, Milner

Forwards - Rooney, Crouch, Defoe, Bent, Cole, Agbonlahor

England doesn't have enough quality players good enough to be even in the 30-man squad   Can't include Wayne Bridge ... Looks like ... Jack Robinson, anyone?

Not sure what time it will be out but Spain's already out.

Ahh you'd put Hargreaves in over Carrick, Rodwell or Huddlestone even ?

I'd go

Green, Hart, James, Kirkland

Richards, Johnson, Carragher, Ferdinand, King, Terry, Upson, Lescott/Shawcross, Cole, Warnock

Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick, Barry, Rodwell, Milner, J.Cole, Johnson, Lennon, Young, SWP

You know what .... I actually forgotten about Carrick and Shawcross. I'm gonna edit mine now.

If you look at the squad, England doesn't really have the goalkeeper and strikerforce to brag about 

Haha it's not too bad

Not bothered about who gets in for the 30 cuz it will be most of the candidates, I'd go with this for my 23, not sure if I left anyone obvious out though... :S

Hart, James, Green

Johnson, Carragher, Ferdinand, Terry, Shawcross, King, Cole, Warnock

Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick, Parker, Milner, J.Cole, Johnson, Lennon

Rooney, Bent, Defoe, Crouch

Actually forgot about Walcott.

I think I'd prefer the others over him, though. Frustrates the sh*t out of me.

He's quite inconsistant hey Ross , i think there was too much pressure put on the lad at the last World Cup . I think people forget that he is still only 21 years old . Maybe next World Cup will be his time to shine

Certainly! I don't doubt his future potential but right now I think there are other options.

Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green, Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock, Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.

Meh

Huddlestone's the one that catches my eye. Lazy as F**k and I don't think he's International class.

Surprised that he's there ahead of the likes of Downing, Young or Parker to be honest.

Hang on a minute...

Parker isn't there?

He is

Thought he was. Just 'cause Adryan said this:

Yeah he is. Just checked BBC.

Parker over Barry ey

Yes, Parker actually brings something to the game, intelligent passing, some decent shots, commitment to tackles, Barry just passes sideways and goes to ground like a bi*ch.

Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green, Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock, Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.

Meh

I would drop - Upson, Baines, Carrick, Heskey, Barry (assuming he is injured), Parker, Huddlestone.

Capello will drop - Upson, Dawson, Warnock, Bent, Parker, Huddlestone & Carrick.

Why oh why is Heskey anywhere near the squad.

Apparently Capello spoke to Paul Scholes to play.

Blackburns Manager Sam Allatwat is disgusted that Robinson didn't get a call up

Are you only actually allowed to take 23?

Are you only actually allowed to take 23?

Yeah you have 6-7 stand in's for injuries

John Terry's been rushed to hospital from training with a suspected metatarsal injury putting his WC chances at risk.  They're waiting for scan results now.

The infamous Metatarsal injury strikes the England team again.

Yep it always seems to strike us at the wrong time.  Could mean Carra gets more game time though.

Yeah apparently he has got a scan on his ankle tomorrow.

The only worry will be the damage to team moral if he's on the loose sniffing round his team mates women whilst they are playing. Perhaps Capello will have to have him sitting on the bench so the lads on the pitch can see where the slimy c**t is   

Gary Neville questions Fabio Capello's World Cup squad

Gary Neville has questioned England manager Fabio Capello's decision to pick Liverpool's Glen Johnson as his sole right-back for the World Cup.

Johnson has established himself as England's first-choice right-back under Capello, but suffered an injury-interrupted second half of the season.

And Neville said: "I'm surprised there is only one right-back in the squad."

Neville also labelled attempts to lure Paul Scholes out of international retirement "a bit desperate".

Despite failing in his attempt to bring Scholes back into the England fold, Capello did persuade Liverpool's Jamie Carragher to return to the squad three years after his own international retirement.
iss out.

"I wouldn't say I'm overly disappointed not to be named in the initial 30-man squad, although I did think there was maybe a chance I could get in," added Neville, who made 15 Premier League starts last season but failed to add to his 85 England caps.

"I'm probably more surprised Wes Brown isn't in the 30, to be honest."

Scholes, who retired from international football in 2004, appeared set for a return of his own before eventually rejecting Capello's overtures.

And Neville admitted that courting Scholes made sense, even if it was unlikely to succeed.

"I'm not surprised Capello tried to get him out of retirement because if there's one player I would try to pull out of retirement it's Scholes," Neville said of his team-mate and fellow 35-year-old.

"Capello maybe got a bit desperate at the last minute and wanted Scholes because he's still probably the best midfielder in England, but Scholes decided to stick to his guns."

Meanwhile, Manchester City have confirmed that midfielder Gareth Barry has been sleeping in an oxygen tent in an attempt to speed up his recovery from an ankle injury.

Capello remains hopeful that Barry will be fit for England's second World Cup group game against Algeria on 18 June.

Before that the Italian is set to assess defenders Ledley King and Jamie Carragher in the sold-out friendly against Mexico at Wembley on 24 May.

Neither have played for England since the end of Steve McClaren's reign in 2007.
