ManU got 2nd last season... (their placing).. your team ? failed to make it to UCL next season ?
anti man utd ain't mean he's a liverpool fan.. stereotyping.. -
i'm not surprised he got excluded.
walcott should leave arsenal for first team football. he is not playing enough. hence he is not improving at all.

no adam johnson? sucks. SWP also so short cant defend.
england cmi. just look at players from all different teams with intense rivalries. Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal.
Sure some of this rivalry will cause friction and tensions between the teammates. That is why they can never truly perform as one unit. More of individual skills, set pieces, luck (own goals?).
i thought england was good until i saw their friendly match with japan. at least their defence seems got standard. but their attack is very poor considering their star line up.
glen johnson can only attack lousy at defending. carragher worse now old cant defend properly.

You mean all spanish players come from same team? What about Italy? Brazil? Germany?The Spain National team has players from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Villareal, etc and they have no problem playing well together right?
So does the Italian team with players from Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma, etc and German team with players from Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Shalke, Stuttgart, etc.
Your arguement quite funny leh.

Theo Walcott is said to be in a state of shock after being informed of his omission from England's World Cup squad.
Walcott was by far the most surprising exclusion from Fabio Capello's 23-man party, who fly out to South Africa on Wednesday evening, and the man himself seems to have been one of the most shocked.
The Arsenal winger was reportedly on the golf course when Capello called to tell him the bad news, and The Daily Express reports that he was so surprised, he initially thought the call was a hoax.
Most morning papers agree that Capello had doubts about Walcott's place after subdued performances in training, but was given chances to impress in both warm-up games against Mexico and Japan.
The former seems to have played a crucial role in Capello's decision, with the Italian reportedly annoyed that Walcott didn't follow his instructions at Wembley.
The Guardian reports that 'frustration has been welling within the management set-up at a perceived lack of discipline on the pitch in recent England games, with Walcott singled out for particular criticism in Capello's post-match analysis of the Mexico game last week.
'The player, it is understood, had strayed too often from a position on the by-line, veering from the Italian's instructions, with his delivery erratic from the wing.'
Other papers claim that Walcott was given a dressing down in front of the rest of the squad for his perceived indiscipline against Mexico. Despite this, he was given another chance, which he failed to take.
Publically at least, Walcott reacted with great dignity.
In a statement released as the squad was officially announced, Walcott said: "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."

What a waste.
I thought Capello would have at least kept him in the squad as an impact-substitute.
His mazy runs and anyhow-hantum type of crosses quite effective against ragged defences.
-
ya wasted giving it to SWP. probably SWP gotten in is due to his experience, age and he can play on the left flank, another option for capello to explore. walcott, although known for his pace and speed, is rather a one dimensional player on the right flank. his crosses also arent good. so the right flank now belongs to aaron lennon I suppose, with SWP as back-up. Joe Cole can also play on both flanks.
-
capello should have just picked the 23 from the word go instead....not sure what he couldn't see with all the travels he made during the past years to epl games...teasing the 7 for a week or two is a cruel streak.....i would have kept parker, he could do the defensive midfield bit with barry uncertain....lampard or gerrad? quite apparent they don't play together...just based on the season, lampard gets the nod.....rooney and who? it's pretty obvious he does it best when going solo....that would free up one more space in the midfield....
-
well, been reading reports about this theo not doing what Capello wants, and got chopped.. well, Capello seems iron man and will, so no play play.

I think Capello wil join Inter after the world cup. international football I think is not suited for him, as he prefers to manage the club on a daily basis.
Capello is staying on the job. Liverpool's Benitez rumoured to be Mourinho's replacement. -

The real problem is goalkeeping. England never had any good goalies after David Seaman called it a night. -
