| He deserved the call-up, he's in great form! |
| That's shocking, calling up a 28 year old mediocre Championship player... |
Fabio Capello made another surprising decision by calling up Cardiff City striker Jay Bothroyd, a man that could make his debut for England at the age of 28! He did score 13 goals in 14 appearances in the Championship this season but still, calling up a second-level player is surprising. The last time that happened was in 2007 when David Nugent was called up while playing in the Championship.
I wouldn\'t call up Championship players, at least not 28-year olds...
