text: why isnt jermane defoe going to the world cup?   "eriksson has included theo walcott, who has yet to make a premiership appearance for arsenal, in his squad alongside michael owen, wayne rooney and aaron lennon - but there are no places for ledley king, shaun wright-phillips, jermaine defoe or darren bent".  source: www.soccernet.com  here is the line-up:  • goalkeepers: robinson (tottenham), james (manchester city), green (norwich)   • defenders: g neville (manchester united), r ferdinand (manchester united), terry (chelsea), a cole (arsenal), campbell (arsenal), carragher (liverpool), bridge (chelsea)   • midfielders: beckham (real madrid), carrick (tottenham), lampard (chelsea), gerrard (liverpool), hargreaves (bayern munich), jenas (totenham), downing (middlesbrough), j cole (chelsea), lennon (tottenham)   • forwards: rooney (manchester united), owen (newcastle), crouch (liverpool), walcott (arsenal).   • standby players: scott carson, luke young, nigel reo-coker, jermain defoe, andy johnson.      defoe is on i guess the "waiting list" or rather on "standby". he got replaced by that 16-17 year-old kid walcott. to think that kid hasn't even played in one premier league game--yet. like what in the hell???   what a wanker errikson is huh?
