Fabio Cappello has to reduce his initial 30 player England World Cup Squad down to 23 names and whoever he leaves out they are going to be heartbroken. There looks to be a guaranteed 20 players who the Italian will definitely take to South Africa that leaves 3 places up for grabs. Altitude training in Austria will help confirm in Fabio Cappellos mind his best squad to win the 2010 World Cup.
Carrick And Walcott In Danger
Most in danger of players who had looked to have done enough are Theo Walcott at 1/5 and Michael Carrick at 1/8 both prices with Paddy Power, their odds on to make it but both players form in the domestic season was patchy.
The cut off point shows Joe Cole at 1.91 with Blue Square to make the England Squad and West Ham defender Matthew Upson at 2.1 with Paddy Power, they are around number 23 or 24 on most bookmaker's lists.
England Squad Outsiders
Slightly less likely to make the plane to South Africa are Darren Bent 5/2 with SkyBet, Matt Dawson 6/4 with Blue Square and Tom Huddlestone 9/4 with SkyBet.
Scott Parker, Shaun Wright Philips and Steven Warnock are all priced at 3/1 with SkyBet and the outsiders of the list, they may not need boarding cards or be able to take advantage of duty free.
Ballack Injury
The England World Cup Squad betting is very volatile and could change over the next week with injuries, the friendly against Mexico on the 24th and players not stepping up to the Cappello plate. Michael Ballacks injury ruling him out of the German Squad shows how a mistimed or bad tackle can shatter player's dreams at the last minute.
