Blunder leaves Crouch with two left feet‎

The Sun reports that the Tottenham striker was caught out after his girlfriend Abbey Clancy packed his bag for last month's friendly against Egypt with two left shoes.

The 29-year-old realised his girlfriend's mistake just before he boarded the team bus headed for Wembley and was forced to ask aides to rummage through lost property bins in the hope of finding a pair of matching size 12s.

Fortunately for the 6'7" goal ace, they came up trumps and he was able to comply with England coach Fabio Capello's strict smart dress code for the trip.

A source told The Sun: "Peter was pleased when Abbey offered to give him a hand. She's very thoughtful, so she said she would take care of packing his outfit to travel to the stadium in.

"He didn't think much more of it until he tried to slip his shoes on - and noticed a problem. Abbey had packed him two left shoes. He rang down to reception to see if they had anything suitable for him to wear from their lost property department.

"Finding size 12s is a tall order, but surprisingly they did manage to find him a pair. So Peter managed to look as smart as his team-mates for the big match."

Crouch was on target twice against the Egyptians as England ran out 3-1 winners as part of their preparations for the summer's World Cup in South Africa. The World Cup 2010 tickets of all matches are now available for sale.

England's likely squad for South Africa

DAVID JAMES

Age: 39 Caps/conceded: 49/41 Under Capello: 14/14
Solid display as substitute in Ukraine boosted his chances, but needs to move to bigger club.

ROBERT GREEN

Age: 29 Caps/Conceded: 8/7 Under Capello: 7/6
First England keeper to be sent off. Will he ever forgive Rio Ferdinand?

BEN FOSTER

Age: 26 Caps/Conceded: 3/1 Under Capello: 2/0
Clean sheet against Belarus, but has had patchy form at Manchester United

GLEN JOHNSON

Age: 25 Caps/Goals: 20/0 Under Capello: 15/0
Named in Capello’s first squad. Main strength is in going forward.

PHIL JAGIELKA

Age: 27 Caps/Goals: 3/0 Under Capello: 2/0
Out since May with a knee injury but was one of Everton’s most solid performers last season.

JOHN TERRY

Age: 28 Caps/Goals: 58/6 Under Capello: 16/3
Although he said this week no-one is a shoo-in for Capello, the Chelsea defender comes close.

RIO FERDINAND

Age: 30 Caps/Goals: 76/3 Under Capello: 12/1
Some alarming blunders for club and country, but when he’s good he’s very good.

MATTHEW UPSON

Age: 30 Caps/Goals: 17/1 Under Capello: 10/1
Has matured as central defender since taking on the captain’s role at West Ham.

ASHLEY COLE

Age: 28 Caps/Goals: 77/0 Under Capello: 16/0
Always had pace and great attacking fair, but is at last fulfilling potential as a left back.

WAYNE BRIDGE

Age: 29 Caps/Goals: 35/1 Under Capello: 8/0
Played the role of understudy to Cole against Belarus but did not shine.

DAVID BECKHAM

Age: 34 Caps/Goals: 115/17 Under Capello: 16/0
New beard but same old talent. Still unmatched from set pieces and crosses.

FRANK LAMPARD

Age: 31 Caps/Goals: 76/20 Under Capello: 16/6
Old problem of playing in same side as Gerrard seems to have been resolved.

GARETH BARRY

Age: 28 Caps/Goals: 34/2 Under Capello: 18/2
Manchester life seems to agree with Barry who looks at home in Capello’s side.

OWEN HARGREAVES

Age: 28 Caps/Goals: 42/0 Under Capello: 3/0
Finally on his way back from his injury hell but will he be ready for South Africa?

STEVEN GERRARD

Age: 29 Caps/Goals: 77/16 Under Capello: 14/4
Would walk into any side and can always be relied upon to give 100 per cent effort.

JOE COLE

Age: 27 Caps/Goals: 53/10 Under Capello: 6/3
Has had to battle back from knee injury but on his day one of the most exciting players around.

JAMES MILNER

Age: 23 Caps/Goals: 5/0 Under Capello: 5/0
Made the most of his appearance as a substitute on Wednesday and always gives options on wing.

AARON LENNON

Age: 22 Caps/Goals: 15/0 Under Capello: 6/0
Superb form for Spurs but unable to replicate it in recent England matches.

THEO WALCOTT

Age: 20 Caps/Goals: 8/3 Under Capello: 7/3
Arsène Wenger worries about burnout but Walcott just keeps getting better and better.

WAYNE ROONEY

Age: 23 Caps/Goals: 56/25 Under Capello: 16/11
At the peak of his career, strong, intelligent. He has even started to curb his temper.

EMILE HESKEY

Age: 31 Caps/Goals: 57/7 Under Capello: 12/2
Desperate to leave Villa to get regular football. His strength and presence are notable assets.

JERMAIN DEFOE

Age: 27 Caps/Goals: 37/11 Under Capello: 11/8
Another player to profit from Harry Redknapp’s revolution at Tottenham.

CARLTON COLE

Age: 25 Caps/Goals: 5/0 Under Capello: 5/0

World Cup in 3D events planned by Sony

Sony, the owner of the 3D TV rights to the 2010 World Cup football finals, has announced that it is preparing a number of events in the UK and in Germany where matches from the World Finals will be screened in 3D.

In Germany and the UK, the broadcasters with the TV rights for the competition do have 3D broadcast capabilities, so in order to bring live 3D football to fans, Sony is planning to show the live matches in 3D at special events around the two countries.

In the UK, it is anticipated that around fifty venues such as cinemas, will be showing the matches.

However, it seems that for the England fans there may be a problem, as FIFA only announced last week that England group stage games would not be in 3D!
