I got the call from Roy and agree England team should be about the young players. I think it best I retire from England team now.

Surprised he isn't going, he hasn't played much this season but when he has he's been brilliant!

like the fact Roy called him and explained why think it is the right decision for england this world cup should be seen as a step towards 2016 euros and blooding the new kids into tournament football

That tweet from Ashley Cole got retweeted 10,300 times within 4 minutes.

We'll find out today who else isn't going and then they tweet they're retiring from international football!! I agree the World Cup should be about blooding young players for the next 4 years, but at the same you also have to the right mix of youth and experience too. I hope Hodgson gets it right.

I still think he should have a role in the team as a mentor. I'm sure some of thee younger players would find his advice invaluable.

Brave decision from Roy to leave out Ashley Cole.

The full squad is anounced at 2pm.

I totally agree that younger players should be going. My only concern is that the squad is being picked a matter of weeks from the start of the world cup. The team selection should have been sorted out months ago and players given time to bond. Now the likes of the relatively inexperienced Luke Shaw will be subject to the full attention of the fickle media at a major tournament. Lets hope he has a sensational World Cup.

Unless Leighton Baines gets injured I wouldn't expect Luke Shaw to see much action but I think it is good experience for him to go as I believe he could be England's no 1 left back for the next 10 years

^^^^^

the media attention luke shaw will be getting at the world cup (think he's going given Ashley cole's tweet about him not being in the squad and retiring from England) will have shot up dramatically now with the news that Man Utd have reached a deal with Southampton to sign Luke Shaw for around £25-£27 million with only personal terms to be sorted
