Not really sure who will miss out. You would think Carragher might be one of them but then what was the point of him coming out of retirement if he isn't going as versatile cover.
All three keepers will go. Dawson probably isn't needed as is one of the fullbacks, either Baines or Warnock. Barry might miss out through injury giving Parker a place ahead of Carrick or Huddlestone. Tough call between all of the wingers. The least experienced, Adam Johnson, is in the best form and should get a place. Walcott is too unpredictable but the same could be said of Lennon and SWP.
Of the strikers, Bent is the most likely to miss out

I'd have Huddlestone in the squad ahead of Carrick, who is total pish
Huddlestone strikes me as an Essien wannabe, but nowhere near as good. Parker is better than him IMO at the moment. If Carrick was half the player he wanted to be, he would still be nowhere near as good as the player he wishes to be, Xabi Alonso. Still not bad though.
We really lack great options in defensive midfield. I wouldn't take Gerrard on current form but he can at least cover the whole midfield.

Gerrard could play the defensive midfield role but he has not done it in so long for either club or country that he may not be reliable. Huddlestone with his sheer size, power and athleticism should be made to play defensive midfield but Spurs don't need him there at the moment as they have Palacios. I would give Parker a go in that role in the warm up games to see if he fits in with Lampard and Gerrard in front of him.
Don't think so many defenders are needed. Dawson, Upson and Warnock might all miss out with Carragher and Milner able to cover several positions.
Four wingers is overkill too but I don't know which one should be dropped. Johnson should stay but Lennon, Walcott and SWP are all equally wasteful

Disappointed not to see Phil Jagielka. Most surprised that Stuart Downing isn't even in the squad. Thank God injuries saved us from Wes Brown.
Huddlestone
Warnock
Wright-Phillips
Darren Bent
And I don't know where to axe the other 3. I can't see Lennon, Walcott and Milner all going, one of them has to be dropped and it won't be Walcott. Probably Milner to miss out. Personally I'd drop Heskey, use Walcott as a striker and keep Milner and Lennon.

Milner has to go as does Johnson - they deserve it on current form. While I think we have a great base for the future (Johnson etc), we cant take a squad full of players like Bent and Huddlestone who have not even smelt the highest level in European footy let alone an international tournament. But Milner and Johnson strike me as deserving, given that they played their way into Capellos plans.
The Argies are screwed. Not a good squad. Can't believe Cambiasso, Zanetti and Banega aren't picked.
No Ronaldinho either.

Hello
So attacking wise, Argentina have Agüero, Palermo, Milito, Lavezzi, Higuain, Tevez and Messi.
We have Rooney, Bent, Defoe, Heskey and Crouch.
Great.

Maradonna is in charge.Would you expect any sembelence of sense from this obese crackhead?
Midfield wise, England have Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Steve Gerrard, Gaz Baz, Aaron Lennon, Adam Johnson and Foetus Walcott.
Midfield wise, Argentina have Juan Sebastien Veron, Jonas Gutierrez and a load of players that play in Portugal. They also have Diego Maradona as a manager.
Teams that lose 6-0 to Bolivia are not the biggest threats. Korea and Greece can spring an upset, and you really never know with Nigeria. Of all the seeds, they're probably the most likely to go out in the first round.
