No and not one bit, in that order. I'd drop him back down to the under 21s if he's still eligible tbh, he's not been playing well enough to be considered for the England team and the extra pressure there wont do him any good. |

Right now, I say no. I love BabyTheo but he's not even the player he was 3 or 4 years ago. Eighteen months of injuries, no real run in the Arsenal team and the hating he gets from Arsenal and England supporters as well as pundits and the media have totally crapped on his confidence. He overthinks everything and often ends up overdoing it. When he's relaxed, he's fine but that is rare these days. The kid who came to Arsenal was confident and cool, very assured. The goals he scored against Germany in an U21 qualifier, the goal he scored against Chelsea in the CC final, the goals against Croatia, there's no sight of that kind of football from him. The Croatia game sums up Theo for me. His link up play with Rooney was just lush, he was cool in front of goal but a lot of his crosses were poor. His most impressive performance as a winger only came the other day against Burnley. He should not be playing right wing at all and while I can understand Wenger wanting to develop all sides of his game before allowing him to play as a forward, the rest is suffering for now. Unless Walcott gets a serious shot of confidence in the next two months, he shouldn't be going to the WC. He'll get torn apart for every little mistake and Arsenal will have to pick up the pieces next season. The problem is, Capello likes him. He can barely play for Arsenal and still get picked for friendlies. Capello has seen what Theo is capable of and won't let him go, so I reckon he will be going. |

Only if he gets an extended, successful run in the Arsenal team. if not, don't bother shooting him even further down |

Having watched most of the England squad in the Egypt game and their club games, Capello has bigger things to worry about than BabyTheo  There's one player the opposition should be worried about and that's Rooney. And he won't even be there. |

No, he won't. Ah, forgot about Peter Crouch. He'll keep getting sent off through the tournament for repeatedly climbing on defenders because he can't jump. |

It's a big "if" about his form, he's not been good all season so I don't know what will change between now and June.

Did you just call me flakbaby?  Yeah he's not started many but he's not been great when he has. We'll see what he can do between now and the end of the season anyway but I don't think he'd have been considered at all had Lennon not have got injured or lost form if he stayed fit. |

Yes ofcourse he should because he fits into an effective and proven England team under Capello. Gerrard, Rooney, Heskey and Walcott work. If we're just going to look at club form then Heskey and Crouch shouldn't be going either. Walcott is no different. I was absolutely against Walcott going ahead of Bent in 2006, but this time round regardless of who else is picked, players like Heskey, Crouch and Walcott must go. |

Tadpole's Excrement

he'll def go. the fact that capello put him in the starting line up after hardly playing just goes to show how highly he rates him. also proves the fact that capello dosen't pick players on form and that are playing which he supposedly does and he geting continual praise from the media for
