Thats actually a pretty decent list. Nice to see upson back in the frame, he has been playing well for west ham.

I feel beckham really should have been included but there are rumours as to why he wasnt. Apparently Capello was a bit angry that becks went all the way to brazil to open a soccer school instead of proving his fitness. I still think becks has an england future because he is still a very good player. Beckham really deserved this cap IMO but i think Fabio is trying to experiment a bit. He may also be trying to prove a point by ignoring pressure from fergie, sven and the media to play him.

Im sure either way becks will feel burnt by the exclusion.

Curtis Davies is ok but his debut was a shocker. He isnt quite ready yet IMO but he does have a lot of potential. Giving him a taster of international football will do him no harm i suppose.

It's obvious why bent wasnt chosen but im not sure why defoe was overlooked. Owen still isnt back to his best and im not sure about him. Heskey did well last time for Mclaren so he deserves that place.

im excited about Young and Agbonlahor. They have lot of potential and have improved a lot. They are quick on the ball and are very effective together. Hopefully they will get a decent run out.


Will be interesting to see who is captain for this match. Might be a good indicator of who capello choses to be the next england captain.
