With the World Cup just around the corner there seems to be fierce competition for the right midfielder role in England's squad. Who should Fabio Capello pick for that position?
Fabio Capello has admitted that there are still three places up for grabs in his World Cup squad as England go into their final warm-up match against Japan on Sunday. The England manager already knows in his own mind 20 of the men he will call upon in South Africa next month. The remaining 10 will head into the match in Graz knowing they must scrap for their lives to claim one of that trio of remaining tickets. Likely candidates for the axe include Michael Dawson, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Scott Parker. Tom Huddlestone and Darren Bent both start on Sunday knowing a failure will probably end their hopes too.
Kevin Phillips came on to a standing ovations from all corners of the Stadium Of Light today in what was touching moment for the veteran striker. It was also a good day for his former club as Sunderland beat them, 2-1. However, will Phillips ever return as manager?
