World Cup woe for Spurs duo

Tottenham duo Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone have been axed from the England World Cup squad as boss Fabio Capello named his final 23. They had been named in the initial 30-man training squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Japan but have failed to make the plane for South Africa.Dawson is still waiting for his first cap after not playing a single minute of the warm-up games while Huddlestone came on as a 61st-minute substitute against Mexico before a 45-minute outing against Japan to take his appearances to three for his country.Spurs team-mates Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon are included in the squad, along with Ledley King.
