    Ok, so Fabio Capello resigns as the England Manager in the morning. In their infinate wisdom, the FA decide that you are the best canditate for the job. Your first task, cut 30 players down to 23 for the World Cup. There is no real rules but the general guidelines is that you should have 3 goalkeepers, 8 Defenders, 8 Midfielders and 4 Strikers. Good Luck!

    First thing I would do is to call up Benson and Hedges.

    If you're old enough, you're good enough.

    There is a FIFA rule that says there must be 3 GKs unfortunately.

    That's assuming Barry won't be fit. I'd start Huddlestone in the first XI.

    i'd be surprised if he didn't take Carrick.

    Huddlestone is a bit of an unknown at this level, and with Barry struggling for fitness, Carrick's the one.

    it's just an inditement of the lack of true depth of quality England possess in that holding role that Gareth Barry, someone whose had a mediocre enough season, could be this much of a loss.

    i'd personally take Huddlestone, and I hope Capello does, but I don't see it. but then again, as I'll mention with Adam Johnson, why bring him with the 30? hmmmm.

    plus, he's taking Heskey, no doubt. sorry Darren.

    it's great to see Adam Johnson in so many squads. i think he should go. but i don't know Capello's mindset; whether he'd rather plump on Cole. but then why did Johnson end up in the 30? just to get a cheap cap? it could have then waited until the friendlies and qualifiers after the World Cup IMO.

    it'll be a very interesting squad selection.

    A lot of people seem to be leaving out a 2nd holding midfielder. What happens if the first one, like Barry, gets injuried in the tournament? Lampard or Gerrard or King asked to do a job?

    Only a 22 man squad as of the 5 midfielders I've crossed out I don't think any deserve to be there. If I had to go to 23 i'd include Bent.

    Carrick has been in poor form recently but I'd still take him ahead of Huddlestone and an unfit Barry. He has the ability if he just got the belief back imo.
