Theo Walcott: Giving hope to 17-year-olds everywhere
There’s been a lot of talk the past few months about the number of youngsters who are going to be featured in the World Cup this year, but there was hardly any mention of Theo Walcott before the last couple of days. Considering he hasn’t played first-team football since being transfered to Arsenal in January, his selection for England’s World Cup team is a bold move by Sven-Goran Eriksson. We’re hoping that a certain coach in Argentina is paying attention to this and that he adds our favorite 17-year-old, Sergio Aguero, to his team’s roster. For those who haven’t seen Walcott in action (even Sven hasn’t), below is a video of his brief, but exciting career. He was born in 1989. Good God do I feel old!

Well the kid has speed, but let’s hope he doesn’t come included with that god awful soundtrack.

Shades of ‘98 with a very young Michael Owen. If England is basing their strategy on a strong midfield, a pacy striker/poacher might be just what they need, or someone to run onto the scraps Crouch wins in the air. If Owen and Rooney are unfit Walcott might do the business.
Regardless of whether he is the best choice, I hope he plays.

[...] Teenager Felipe Caicedo is, well, a teenager. Suarez has said that he will give him a chance, but we can’t all be Theo Walcott. [...]
