I would agree with Theo maybe replacing Heskey or SWP (although SWP did play well against Japan) Upson was taken in case of an injury to Terry or Ferdinand but its a so so pick for me. The only one I strongly disagree with is Carrick. He may be a dirty manc but he will sit in midfield and allow Lumpard and diving scouser to get forward in support of Rooney.
Upson appears to be there in case Rio and Duckface get injured but what about Carragher?
Carragher can play RB or CB so if Duckface gets injured you use King and if they both get injured you use Carragher.
That's the whole point of Carragher apparently so why take Upson, it's a waste of a place? You could've taken Theo instead or if you don't like him, then Bent or Adam Johnson.
Carrick is so ineffective imo.
He's the master of sideways passes. If he's not a good DM and he has no attacking flair what the f**k is the point of him? He's the Denilson of the England squad, only not as good!
He's only there because Hargreaves is injured and Scholes won't play.

Have you seen him play for England lately? Woeful performances and he can't even get into the Man City side lately because a player six years younger than him is keeping him out i.e. Johnson.

total kick in the teeth to be a starter then dropped completely for a bench warmer at club level
That's exactly my point. Capello said he'd take players that are on good form but SWP has been shite and Parker has been superb.
He also said he wouldn't take injured players but he's taking Barry.
