Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Why on earth give a 31 year old his international debut. Is Hodgson really saying he is considering someone who will be 32 next year to play in their first tournament in the heat of Brasil in the summer WTF!!

Oh right I see silly me I thought the point of friendlies was to help build a team capable of competing. Now I realise they are just to hand out well done games to old players who have had a decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres dozens of one cap wonders though, it not like it has never happened before...Kevin Davies was picked by Cappello etc. I imagine had Andy Carroll been fit he'd have had Lambert's place in the squad.

Tom 14011 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Highest scoring English player in the league - I don't see how Lambert's call up is that bad - though it did raise a chuckle because of his past I suppose. We still have to qualify for Brazil yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15531 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't see the problem either. Quite the opposite - we should be calling up people from unfashionable clubs who are in form rather than the usual divas who think they deserve to be there on name value alone. We fucking seethed when Andy Cole didn't get a call-up while he was in his prime for us, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fucking seethed when Andy Cole didn't get a call-up while he was in his prime for us, after all. Cole and Fowler couldn't get a look in... Sheringham and Shearer were canny good but the English talent up front in the mid to late 90s was unreal compared with today. Owen burst on the scene in 97-98 and basically ended Fowlers career at club and international level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15531 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I suppose that's true - someone on Twitter was saying that Les Ferdinand would have 50+ caps if he was playing now and it's hard to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
