Sol - Why didn't Capello pick me?


Sol Campbell has launched a scathing attach on England boss Fabio Capello for overlooking him for the World Cup.

The 35-year-old veteran finished the season strongly with Arsenal, after signing last summer with League 2 Notts County.

He told ESPN Soccernet: "I wouldn't mind being out in South Africa with the England team. The way I have been playing for Arsenal, don't you think I should be? I do. For sure.

"Regrets? You could say that. I regret the fact that the England camp didn't think of me. I would have given my heart and soul into playing for my country again.


"I played my heart out for Arsenal and thought it was worthy of a chance with England. It never came.

"Surely you pick people in the groove, and I was in the groove, and I was fit.

"Instead, Capello picked a couple of half-fit players. It fell right for them. Not for me."

I like Campbell and his experience is immense but unfortunately he isn't as good as he used to be and there are better English defenders than me.

Campbell, we are all sure you'd play your heart out but we need the best players in South Africa
