From Chris in Brighton, via text to 81111: "Walcott under-performed in the friendlies, plus Wright-Phillips was played on the left against Japan, so I reckon SWP will make it with Huddlestone to miss out. I have World Cup fever so much it hurts."

0944: There's our daily World Cup 2010 round-up for your delectation as well, including Tom Cruise (some actor fella, not the young Arsenal left-back) suggesting his best mate David Beckham will be playing at the next World Cup. When he's 39 years of age. You've got to love that guy.

0940: The three goalkeepers aren't up for discussion - they will be David James, Rob Green and Joe Hart. Quite who the number one will be in SA is anyone's guess, though. Here's 125-cap legend Peter Shilton with his thoughts: "Robert Green deserves a chance. I would think he has his nose in front. He has matured over the last year and made some great saves in the friendly against Mexico." Job done.

From Bboy on 606: "Am I the only one thinking Capello may spring a surprise by including someone not in the original 30? My best bet is that the poor defensive display by Glen Johnson coupled with the neutered attacking display by Jamie Carragher has got him worried about his right-back options. Neville or Brown, anyone?"

0933: If you manually refresh your page (come on, you've had three whole days off), you'll see the BBC's trailer for the World Cup at the top. Now if that doesn't get you in the mood...

0930: Stevo's Predo:
Michael Dawson, Stephen Warnock, Matthew Upson, Scott Parker, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Darren Bent.

From TTBADGER on Twitter: "I remember crying my eyes out in 1998 when I heard the news Gazza wasn't included in the squad."

From Pete in Croydon, via text to 81111: "What are you going to do if Fabio waits until 3 o'clock?"
Look increasingly ridiculous?

0921: Quite a bit of paper chat that Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock, despite not playing a single minute in England's two friendlies, is set to get the nod ahead of Everton's Leighton Baines as left-back cover for Ashley Cole. Can't say I agree with that, but it probably won't make too much difference.

0917: Unless you want me to sit here like a lemon all day (it's been known), I suggest you chuck your two pennies worth into the mixer. You know how: get thumbing to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide); smash us a tweet @Stevo_football and get involved in the debate on 606. Easy now.

0912: So, of the 30 men that were together with England for the last couple of weeks or so, seven are going to get ditched today via a telephone call from Fabio Capello. Call me old-fashioned, but I thought players always found out stuff like this on Ceefax.

0907: Non-sport has never been more tense. Exciting, isn't it? Though probably not for Gareth Barry.

0900: Right now, Gareth Barry's World Cup future hangs in the balance. The Manchester City midfielder is expected to start a fitness test that will determine whether he can be part of Fabio Capello's 23-man England squad that travels to South Africa for the greatest tournament on earth. Sometime after, though we don't know exactly when, we will know the names of the chosen ones.
