World Cup Fever : England 23men

Capello finally decided who is in his squad...

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...



Of all the 7 players removed, I feel pity for Bent.He had been in splendid form but Rooney-Heskey partnership has works pretty well.So, not surprising when Bent is removed because Capello seems to be preferring a small-big combo in front.

God knows what will happen to the left flank with Adam Johnson also being removed from the squad.Steven Gerrard did not do well on the left whenever he plays there because that was never his natural position.Without Johnson, it's probably Gerrard there than anyone else.

As for the right wing, Theo Walcott is the surprise man Capello removed from his squad as the Italian prefer Shaun Wright Phillips.Well, not surprising that not both of them make it into the squad as it will always either one of them to make into the squad especially when they seems to be the same sort of players -Speed demon with trickery yet inconsistent.

Strong squad? Strong enough to win the world cup? We will see...
