Shocks for England today..

England National Team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson made some big moves today, naming a 17-year-old who's never played a premiership game to his 23 man roster. He also gave a roster spot to Wayne Rooney, despite the fact that Rooney likely won't be available until the advanced rounds of the World Cup.

The Rooney move isn't much of a shock, but naming Theo Walcott to the World Cup squad has sent some big waves through the English soccer community.

Eriksson also forbid Micheal Owen from playing in a testimonial game Thursday. Owen, who required two surgeries to repair a broken metatarsal, had been hoping to use the friendly to log some on-field minutes but lord sven nixed the idea.

Finally, Sir Alex is saying that Eriksson is 'half baked' in his attempts to get Rooney on field and fit for the World Cup.
