surely a pre requisite for playing for england should be playng football first ??
Rooney scored that goal against Arsenal at 16 and had played about 20 games.. anyone got the stats on number of goals he had scored
owen had played a full season
pele had played about 2 seasons before the WC
All the above had played in the top flight as well.. Walcott has played about 13 starts and 18 subs and only got 5 goals against championship level teams
i was told AJ shouldn't be in the squad as he plays in the championship but at the moment so does Thoe.. Arsene didn't think he was good enough and couldn't take the pressure to play him for Arsenal in their final games
