What does Capello actually see in Upson?!
 
chuffed for parker, dawson and thudd
 
Upson - what the ****. Hopefully he'll be left out and his ticket will be given to Dawson or King.

Chuffed for Adam Johnson too.
 
Young instead of SWP, it will be fine. SWP is poor man's lennon and no way he deserves England spot. Zamoraaaaaa:'(

**** knows but i can see him getting dropped from the 23 if ledley and dawson play like they have done in the friendlies
 
Heskey.. Well at least someone think he's good.
 
tbh i'm surprised carragher is on the list as i thaught he retired from international football but apart from that everything looks good and it's nice to see walcot down as a midfielder instead of a stiker for a change.
 
So no Zamora and no Hargreaves like was expected..

Also Joe Cole and Adam Johnson in it too.. a lot of surprises there..
 
I hope Huddlestone makes it to the final squad of 23. He is beast.

Why Upson over Jagielka?
 
What the ****, Carrick, Upson, Green, Heskey,

Bit of a joke really...

Oh and as for Gareth Barry, what ever happened to "Only fit players are coming"
 
oh jeez, Emile still get's the nod after doing **** all the entire season. we're doomed.
 
My final 23 would be:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green

Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner

My final 23: Hart, James, Green; G Johnson, Carragher, Ferdinand, Terry, King, Dawson, A Cole, Baines; J Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Milner, Parker, Carrick, A Johnson, Walcott; Rooney, Crouch, Defoe, Heskey
 
This what I think will be the final 23:

Capello asked Carragher to reconsider it. If he had said no then maybe it would be Sol...

Only player missing in my opinion is Young, good to see Cole, Johnson and Dawson in the team.

Final 23: Hart, James, Green

A.Cole, Baines, Terry, Rio, Dawson, King, Carragher, G.Johnson

A.Johnson, Lampard, Milner, Lennon, Carrick, Huddlestone, Gerrard/J.Cole, Walcott.

Rooney, Crouch, Bent, Defoe

I'm disappointed that Carragher got in ahead of Neville. Neville brings a lot more than his footballing ability in to a squad.
