Carrick really does not deserve to go to the WC, he's started of poor this season when he missed that penalty against Burnley and he seems to have gotten so bad that even SAF is not picking him for matches anymore. I mean Gibson seems to have jumped ahead of the peaking order.

Capello should take Parker, he's had a great season for West Ham, and he can actually tackle unlike Carrick and I personally don't want to see Hargo crocked again whilst straining himself for England.

Haha, he'll be lucky if him and Wales ever make the WC in his life time.

SAME.

Haha. I'd be happy for him but I don't think he's ready, he's played 40 seconds ffs,haha. It's been a bit frustrating how its taken him ages to get over the mental block of the injury too which has really slowed down his progression. Hopefully he'll get some pitch time vs Stoke, at least 20 mins :D

Taking Hargo, Rio, King, Brown..all injury prone players in addition to players like Barry, Lennon and Johnson recovering from injury is a massive risk.

I read that as Spaniard not Sprained and was like since when Gareth Barry Spanish... >_<

I hate seeing players get injured before the World Cup.
