No World Cup for Hammer Parker

West Ham's Scott Parker has missed out on England's World Cup squad, with Fabio Capello axing him from his final 23. Parker had been named in the initial 30-man training squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Japan but has failed to make the plane for South Africa.The midfielder, who helped the Hammers avoid relegation from the Barclays Premier League last season, did not play a single minute of the warm-up games and will not add to his three caps.There are two West Ham players in squad however, with Matt Upson and Robert Green travelling to South Africa with the Three Lions.
