ontd_footballTheo Walcott left out of England’s World Cup squad
Theo Walcott is the shock omission from England’s 23-man World Cup squad after Shaun Wright-Phillips was preferred by Fabio Capello.
Fabio Capello has dropped Arsenal winger Theo Walcott from his final 23-man World Cup squad, but Gareth Barry will travel after passing a last-minute fitness test on his injured ankle.
The Arsenal winger has always said that he could not take his place at the finals for granted, but he did not see Capello's rejection coming. The 21-year-old, the surprise inclusion in Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad for the last World Cup in Germany, has been left devastated.
The decision to name Barry in the squad to travel to South Africa tomorrow means there is no place for Tottenham's Tom Huddlestone.
The other five players who were called by Capello to be told they would not be travelling were Tottenham's Michael Dawson, West Ham's Scott Parker, Sunderland's Darren Bent, Everton's Leighton Baines, and Manchester City's Adam Johnson.
England's opening game in Group C is against the United States on 12 June.
England's World Cup squad
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.
Defenders: Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.
Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, , Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Forwards: Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.

Theo Walcott statment:
“I am very disappointed not to be included in the squad going out to South Africa, but completely respect Mr Capello’s decision. I would like to wish the team the best of luck and hope they have a really successful tournament.”

Date: 2010-06-01 03:04 pm (UTC)Baines' exclusion is also surprising considering Warnock did not play a minute of the friendly..it has been said he's homesick and also his performance against Mexico wasn't too good..
At least Barry is fit :)

Date: 2010-06-01 03:14 pm (UTC)Warnock is a shocker but I suppose he's a better substitute than Baines if Cole gets injured.
