So much for Capello picking people who are fit and in form, like he said he would. Another England manager with no bottle.

Carrick has also had a useless season. And Barry is crocked. Yet Huddlestone still can't get a look in?
And Heskey? WTF?

Capello has sent out the wrong message by picking a crocked Barry (there is no guarantee he will be fit for any of the group games) and I too can't understand how Dawson has been left out. He has been pretty solid this season and has contributed greatly to Spurs top 4 finish. Huddlestone could have played the defensive midfield role in Barry's absence in my opinion. (No I'm not a Spurs fan but you have to give credit where it's due).
I'd rather we got knocked out in the quarters with a squad consisting players like Dawson, A Johnson, Huddlestone, Scott parker, Leighton Baines than the same old same old - who I doubt get beyond the quarters anyway.
