England 2010 World Cup Squad

The England squad for the 2010 World Cup is the subject of much speculation will continue to be until Fabio Capello announces it at the end of May beofe the team head to South Africa. there will be 23 players on the plane for South Africa andthere are some very obvious issues for Capello to decide on. Wayne Bridge has made himself unavailable following the John Terry so we need to find a potential left-back behind Ashley Cole. The right hand side of mifield is a position that we have a number of players in line for but they cannot all go meaing some unhappy players. David Beckham is in contention for his 4th World Cup but his inclusion is splitting fans down the middle but we reckon he will go as an impact sub.

The squad for the England 2010 World Cup in South Africa has yet to be deciced but we have had a go at selecting the 23 players who may make up the squad in June and July. As and when the final list is announced we will have it right here for punters to study, one name we know will be on the plane if fit is Wayne Rooney and he is well backed in the World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds.
