From The Guardian.co.uk, on Wednesday, 2 June, by Mike Adamson, “Fabio Capello has picked England’s oldest World Cup squad ever”.
[Note: after Rio Ferdinand's injury and departure from the English squad, and Michael Dawson's emergency addition, this is still the oldest-ever England squad, by a hair...2010 England squad average age is now 28.478 years old, while the 1954 England squad's average age was 28.409 years old (Dawson is 5 years younger than Ferdinand)].

This starts my series of 2010 FIFA World Cup maps.
The aim on this map is to show, on the map itself, the location of where each player grew up (as opposed to where the player was born...although I also list that on the chart section at the left of the main map).
To the left of the map is the final 23-man roster of the USA national soccer team. Each player's birth place and birth date are listed. If the player grew up, and/or attended high school in a different location, that information is listed next.
After that is a list of clubs that each player has played for, starting with the youth clubs (the larger ones, anyway) that each player was involved with. Then all pro clubs the player played for are listed chronologically left to right, with loan out periods noted by an asterisk (*). Then in larger type, the current pro club of each player is listed, along with the club logo. Finally, each player's international appearances (aka caps), and international goals are listed.
At the lower left are photos of projected starters and key subs, in the gear of their current professioinal club.
