Surprises in Capello's England squad

While the biggest story today surrounding Fabio Capello's final World Cup squad has been the omission of Theo Walcott, I'd like to draw attention to a few other notable inclusions.

The defense contains probably the most questionable selections in Matthew Upson and Steven Warnock. Warnock, who's international experience includes eight minutes in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago back in May 2008, is definitely an interesting choice as a back-up left back.

Matthew Upson, while has slightly more international experience than Warnock, is still an extremely large question mark. Although as a central defender, he likely will not see much playing time unless old man Rio finds himself needing a wheelchair before the end of the tournament.

England's midfield appears to be pretty strong, despite questions surrounding the fitness of Gareth Barry. But with FIFA's rule about replacing an injured player up until 24 hours prior to the team's first game, there really isn't a big surprise that he is included.

No surprises in the striker position, as anyone who thought Darren Bent actually had a chance of making the squad was probably bonkers.
