is he retired from international football?
the man's on fire. he's got the sharpness of his time at newcastle back, plus the education in football he got at man utd.

He was awesome tonight, I thought Man City had signed Ronaldinho! Little bits of skill, flicks, assists, goals.... he was fantastic

Yes Cole retired from International Footy quite a few years back now, i have to agree that he's on fire this season.  |

Indeed I felt he was a faceless retard at man utd, but this season I'v e found a new liking for him as a player, I do remeber his one and only England goal, and being disappointed that he'd scored as I'd have rather won by a lesser margin than let him score. His Newcastle debut was at the CG and despite my youngage my dad got me into cordially abusing him with 'city reject' chants.
Never an international forward though.

He retired himself from International Football just after he was left out of the England squad. A case of over self importance me thinks. I'd say Vassell looked the better of the two last night anyway.

No he isn't and he doesn't deserve a place in the England squad.

Not true, Vassell has a very average scoring record (about one in 5 games) compared to one in 3 for Crouch. No reason he should even be close to the England squad.

So why should we compare them over 1/4 of the season (which Crouch was injured for the start off) rather than their careers to date. 4 plus, yeah great. Lampard has 13 and he's a midfielder. |
