personally i think chris kirkland has been overlooked a bit.
but i disagree with almunia becoming "english". let's have some national pride and select somebody who is actually English, not some foreigner who wasn't good enough for his own national team and is now a technical possibility.
don't know how scott carson is getting on nowadays, but he might be worth a look too. but chris kirkland ought to be one of the three going to the world cup, IMHO. david james is just too old now - he's no ray clemence or peter shilton and selecting him at 40 is blocking out others getting the opportunity.
and now is the time to try out some of those other younger keepers - we've qualified already and have nothing to lose by letting somebody else try out between the sticks.
by the way, anyone else remember the England debut of Championship Manager / Football Manager star goalie Richard Wright? if i recall correctly, he gave away two penalties and scored an own goal. goes to show that just because they are amazing on the PC doesn't mean they aren't shite in real life.
