Brown reveals England disappointment
Manchester United defender Wes Brown has revealed his disappointment at missing out on England's World Cup squad.[LNB] Brown had been a regular member of Fabio Capello's squads, but injuries have cost him his place on the plane for South Africa.[LNB]The 30-year-old missed the last two months of the season with a broken foot and Capello has decided not to pick Brown in his provisional 30-man squad.[LNB]"I was disappointed to be omitted from the squad," Brown told the Sunday Mirror.[LNB]"The World Cup is the pinnacle of any footballer's career and as a kid you always dream about pulling the England shirt on in the World Cup final. [LNB]"But I have not played any football for the past few months. I'll definitely be watching and keeping my fingers crossed for the team. [LNB]"I think the squad is really strong and we have a really good chance of having a successful tournament."[LNB]Meanwhile, Brown believes United team-mate Wayne Rooney is the best player on the planet and that he will thrive on the World Cup stage this summer.[LNB]"I wouldn't swap Wayne Rooney for anyone," added Brown.[LNB]"He was a great player when he first came to United, but he has got better every year and I think this season he has put himself right up there with the best players in the world. [LNB]"At the moment he isn't one of the best - he's the best. [LNB]"I know I am biased but there isn't a weakness to his game and he has been scoring goals for fun. [LNB]"Ronaldo is fantastic, but maybe leaving United has given Wayne the chance to play in his favourite position as a striker and he has been unbelievable. [LNB]"The World Cup is his kind of stage. He will love the challenge of trying to beat the best defenders."
