I wonder where Arteta would rank on a list of the best players never to be capped by their country. It doesn't look like he's ever going to get one.

Marcuss · 21-05-2010, 07:55 AM

Qualified for England isn't he? Capello should get on the buzzer

Yep, and I reckon he'd walk into the side too. But he's always said he doesn't want to and that it's Spain or no one.

BoyBrumby · 22-05-2010, 04:16 AM

Re: Arteta; for him to be qualified he'd need to take out a UK passport and, with him being Spanish, there's no mileage in him doing it unless he half fancies a go.

Although, to be honest, I haven't heard anything about him taking one out.

He's a grub anyway.

Was annoucned ages ago wasn't it?

The Sean · 02-06-2010, 07:05 AM

**** me, Casillas has 102 caps and he's only just turned 29. Could end up with 200 caps if he wants to I reckon.

Torres' international scoring record pretty moderate for a player of his class too TBH.

GingerFurball · 14-06-2010, 12:56 PM

Really looking forward to watching Chile, have done a bit of research and they've got a very distinctive tactical style which should hopefully be awesome to watch.

Spain vs Chile will hopefully be the highlight of the tournament.

Pothas · 14-06-2010, 03:10 PM

Yeah hope Chile are good, Tim Vickery predicting that they will do well.

Have got the same manager and tactics as Argentina in 2002 though, and that did not end so well...

Should be attacking at any rate though.

BoyBrumby · 14-06-2010, 03:20 PM

Have got Chile in me work sweepstake so they're a first round casuality, obvs.

Samuel_Vimes · 16-06-2010, 04:53 AM

Saw a bloke draped in a Chilean flag on the way to uni today.
