England in South Africa 20

10
 

 

 Fabio Capello named a squad of thirty players on 11 May 2010, for two warm-up games, against Mexico and Japan. With the squad preparing to fly out to South Africa for the tournament, seven players were removed from the list on June 1: Darren Bent, Sunderland; Adam Johnson, Manchester City; Scott Parker, West Ham United; Michael Dawson, Tottenham Hotspur; Leighton Baines, Everton; Tom Huddlestone, Tottenham Hotspur; and the biggest surprise, Arsenal's Theo Walcott, who had scored a hat-trick in England's sensational qualifying victory over Croatia in Zagreb.

Then, on the very first day of training in South Africa (June 4), England captain, Rio Ferdinand damaged his knee ligaments and was ruled out of the tournament. Michael Dawson, who had been made a late reserve in 2006, was immediately promoted to the full squad as his replacement, with Steven Gerrard assuming captaincy of the squad.
