Saw this article on how last night's game highlighted 2 CB options for Capello
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...apello-centre-back-options-for-World-Cup.html
That'll be King and Daws I thought. Nope King and effing Judas. A lot of praise for King here:
"Not for the first time those watching were left to reflect on the big ‘what if?’ where King is concerned. Had the Spurs defender enjoyed an injury free career surely he would have eclipsed even Ferdinand as England’s finest exponent of the defender’s art. Sadly, such a debate is relegated to the hypothetical."
Then there's a section on the other contenders. Ah right here comes Daws our inspirational captain who has played nearly every game this season for a side that has been in the top 4 for most of it and has the best home defensive record in the league. Nope. Don't know why I'm surprised any more :bang:
Other contenders:
Joleon Lescott
A regular member of the squad in his Everton days Lescott’s move to Manchester City has not been without its problems.
Phil Jagielka
In terrific form for Everton before injury wiped out much of this season. Back playing now and working his way back to that level though maybe just short of time to impress.
Ryan Shawcross
A towering presence in both boxes for Stoke and definitely one for the future. Called up for England’s friendly with Egypt but was an unused substitute.
Matthew Upson
Capello’s go-to man in the event of Ferdinand or Terry’s absence of late and would be disappointed to miss out. Has had a difficult season with West Ham.
Gary Cahill
Part of England’s squad for the World Cup qualifying victory over Kazakhstan in June last year but an outside bet for South Africa at best.
Wes Brown
A versatile, experienced defender who could also fill in at right back but still unavailable for Manchester United and unlikely to make the cut.
