Now we know the 30 man provisional squad for this years World Cup, but seven of them will be left out of the final 23 man squad for the tournament - which seven do you think will be the unlucky ones?

Bent

I think Huddlestone will be a surprise inclusion at Carrick's expense (unless Barry is unfit). SWP to lose out to Lennon and Walcott. And I can't believe FC is persisting with Heskey, who couldn't even get a game at club level. Mind you, if Bent is the alternative 4th striker then I'm not all that pissed off.

I'd say Adam Johnson instead of Wright-Phillips, but agree with your others.
That's not what I think should happen by the way.
Though Johnson should be in ahead of Wright-Phillips.
