Tottenham Hotspur’s Ledley King believes that he and Chelsea centre-back John Terry can form an effective defensive partnership for England at the World Cup.
With Rio Ferdinand out of the World Cup with a knee ligament injury it looks as though King will be the one who replaces the Manchester United defender in Fabio Capello’s starting XI.
I think Englands chances for victory in SOuth Africa demises with the absence of Rio's experience! You need the back-four to be international experienced over time and King don't have it! However, he is brilliant and if he can avoid injuries he could very well step up to the challenge!
