1248: So what about Japan you maybe wondering. Well, a 1-0 win over Uzbekistan last June sealed their place in South Africa. Manager Takeshi Okada has named three players who play outside the J-League - midfielders Daisuke Matsui (Grenoble), Makoto Hasebe (Wolfsburg) and Keisuke Honda (CSKA Moscow) - to face England. Familiar names to Arsenal, Fulham, West Brom and Cardiff fans will be Junichi Inamoto, while Celtic fans loved Shunsuke Nakamura during his time in Scotland.
Japan: Seigo Narazaki, Atsuto Uchida, Yuji Nakazawa, Yuto Nagatomo, Junichi Inamoto, Makoto Hasebe, Shunsuke Nakamura, Keisuke Honda, Daisuke Matsui, Shinji Okazaki

1240: So who's feeling in a speculative mood? Let's have your thoughts about the cull via the 606 website or text 81111 or +44 7786200666 (with the word FOOTBALL before your message) if you are outside the British Isles. Capello says he will ring all seven of the omitted players on Tuesday morning. But what I want to know is this - does Fabio do small talk? Would the conversation ever follow a pattern like this: "How's the good lady? Shopping at Cricket again, typical. I hear the roses are coming on a treat, I'm more a fan of Weedol these days. Oh yeah, you're not coming to South Africa." Wallop.

Jimbohammers on 606: "Scott Parker should of started, he has in form and hasnt been given a chance by Capello. I am also bemused at why he has picked Walcott AGAIN, how many chances does this guy get? Adam Johnson is the man in form and deserves a chance. So much for Capello picking players on form!"

1234: Some news from BBC sports correspondent Dan Roan in Graz: "Just spoken to Giancarlo Galavotti of Gazetta dello Sport in the press room - a man who knows Italian football. He says the FA are 'running a risk' of Capello joining Inter Milan because they've yet to tie him in to another two years of his contract. Inter want him, and he could be tempted by Europe's top club. Not the kind of speculation England need at this time."

1230: So what do we know so far? That Fabio believes he knows the identity of 20 of his final 23, that Sunday's newspapers are tipping Chelsea's Joe Cole for the axe and that the greatest footballer this decade has ever seen believes England are one of the leading contenders for the World Cup . If Leo Messi said flattops were back in fashion, I would believe him.

1224: With just two days before Fabio Capello shatters the dreams of seven of his 30-man provisional squad, the England manager will have one final chance to hold his chin in a pensive and thoughtful manner ("The Capose" as I have just dubbed it) to assess the potential of his fringe players. Starting in Graz this afternoon are Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone, his first full appearance for his country, along with former team-mate and now Sunderland striker Darren Bent. Their opponents? None other than the first team to qualify for South Africa - Japan. Welcome one and all.
