So Fabio Capello has revealed his final 23-man squad for South Africa, but do you agree with his choices? The England team fly out to their base in Rustenburg today where they will begin preparations for their first match on 11 June against the USA.

The biggest shock after the announcement of Capello’s final squad yesterday was the omission of Theo Walcott. The young Arsenal midfielder has struggled with form this season after several disruptions through injury: back, hamstring, shoulder and knee problems have limited his playing time. But we all know that when on form Walcott is a deadly player; we only need to look back to the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers when he scored that memorable hat-trick against Croatia to see what he is capable of. Walcott was a surprise inclusion in the squad that went to the 2006 World Cup, but this time he’s failed to impress the boss. What do you think of this? Should Walcott be on his way to South Africa as well or was Capello right to leave him out?

We’d love to know what you think of the final 23-man team. Were there other players who were left out that you think deserved to be included or did Capello and his staff get it right? Let us know.

    I am disappointed for Walcott because he's a fantastic talent and we all know what he's capable of. It's just unfortunate that this season has not be kind to him and he struggled to find the form in the two recent friendlies for England. Capello made the right decision but I still expect Walcott to make his comeback for the national team and be stronger than ever.
