If Andros and Rose can get a game for England then Harry must be close, perhaps he needs to get his butler to polish his monocle and give his top hat a once over with a brush...

Did rose get a game?

He played in the last one didn't he? I'll be honest i do zone out where England are concerned and start to oooh look... a squirrel...

I don't think I watched it either, I thought he got called up but that was all.

Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal. As long as they have one striker to pick from between them, Kane wont get a look in.

I think he has turned down England squad inclusion hoping this might happen. It'd probably be easier to get games with England but hopefully he's ambitious enough to back himself in the green ;)
I think the quotes I posted disprove that...

Rooney is 28?! F*** me, I remember when he burst on the scene as a 16 year old. Now I feel old…….!

Taking nothing away from Ireland, but I really hope he pushes into the first team for Spurs and dons the England shirt.

He's 29 in October so its touch and go whether he makes another world cup, although Englands record of flogging dead horses at major championships almost guarantees he will be.

The advantage Kane has is that there is no one else who can play his Sheringhamesque role so if he can keep improving he could end up as first choice with one of the others to partner him.
Or, at least, he will be the first choice attacking sub if we want to bring on a second forward.

But it would be good to see more Spurs players representing England.

Agent placing a story in the sun to prompt a call up from Roy. Will probably work because the FA are spineless know-nothings. Also: fuck off The Sun, have some journalistic integri....oghma what's the point.

I would have thought that if Sturridge or Wellbeck were injured then Berahino would get a call up and if Rooney or Lambert get injured, Kane (or Wickham) would get a call up. That is assuming that Hodgson and the FA aren't a bunch of muppets.

With Rooney being 29 and Lambert 32, it looks better for Kane than Berahino.

Never assume, it makes an Ass Out of U and Me….! I still believe that the FA have an input into team selection for bums on Wembley Seats. Although if that is the case, its not working anymore after the last match…..

So long as Kane continues to impress at Spurs, he has every chance.

I'm amazed Berahino hasn't been capped yet tbh. I suspect he could play for someone else too although I doubt the FA are quite as concerned about DR Congo nicking their players.

Danny Rose got called up then got injured.
Harry Kane is more likely to play for England but I'm not sure he'll get much support from England managers, anyway I'd rather our players didn't have to play internationals.
