Walcott axe a blunder, says Messi

ARGENTINA’s Lionel Messi admits he was dumbfounded by the decision not to take Theo Walcott to the World Cup.

Walcott was expected to make the plane to South Africa but Fabio Capello opted to leave him at home.

Messi points to last season’s UEFA Champions League clash between Arsenal and Barcelona as another match where Walcott had a major impact.
