BBC poll: Theo Walcott, good pick - 74% : bad pick - 26% Ha ha ha ha they have never seen him play ha ha ha haaaaaaa its the World Cup ha ha ha ha ha ha
Not just suspensions though. If a team like Paraguay goes into the first game and gives Crouch a couple of big digs early in the match they know that Walcott is the only fit replacement in the squad.
You can see it now. Load of blirts in the pub screaming "He should be playing Walcott instead of Crouch! He could do a job!!!" without ever having seen him kick a ball.
Er...how would you feel if important games were being postponed because half a dozen players were feeling a bit moody that morning? That'd be much stranger. What next? "Our goalie has got a migraine and the sub keeper has got the hiccups. Match postponed!"
