Walcott, the 17-year-old sensation who has yet to play a minute for his club this year, much less his country in any year, was selected as one of four forwards. Walcott got the nod ahead of proven strikers like Tottenham's Jermain Defoe, Charlton's Darren Bent (the leading English goalscorer in the EPL this season) and Chelsea's little-used, yet still more proven, Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Joining Walcott up front are Peter Crouch, who has a mere five caps to his name; Wayne Rooney, who has next to no chance of playing because of his recently suffered broken foot; and Michael Owen, who is also currently injured, and figures to be rusty and out of game shape at best.
Good luck with that.
