Nottingham ForestPublished June 1, 2010 at 4:06 pm Comments OffFabio Cappelo has confirmed his 23 man squad to take England to World Cup Glory in South Africa:
1 – David James
2 – Glen Johnson
3 – Ashley Cole
4 – Steven Gerrard
5 – Michael Dawson*
6 – John Terry
7 – Aaron Lennon
8 – Frank Lampard
9 – Peter Crouch
10 – Wayne Rooney
11 – Joe Cole
12 – Robert Green
13 – Stephen Warnock
14 – Gareth Barry
15 – Matthew Upson
16 – James Milner
17 – Shaun Wright-Phillips
18 – Jamie Carragher
19 – Jermaine Defoe
20 – Ledley King
21 – Emile Heskey
22 – Michael Carrick
23 – Joe Hart
The unlucky 7 to miss out are Tom Huddlestone, Michael Dawson, Theo Walcot, Darren Bent, Scott Parker, Leighton Baines and Adam Johnson
England are currently 7/1 with Nottingham Forest sponsors Victor Chandler to win the World Cup, will this squad selection change the odds?
Personally i’m shocked that Ledley King has been taken, he looked awful against Mexico and then wasn’t fit enough to play against Japan – He is unlikely to play any game but i’d much rather see Dawson go along for the experience because in 4 years time he will probably be 1 of the main men in the England back 4.
* Rio Ferdinand was injured in Englands first training session in South Africa and Michael Dawson was called up as his replacement
