Hey, could someone do me a favour. Can anyone do Mcmanaman, Sheringham, Fowler and Merson in their prime. I'm hoping it can be done to day as it's my birthday tomorrow and the day after that I'm going on me hols.
So I just read that Scholes is now eligible for Classic Team status. I wouldn't vouch for him on Classic England but I can get him made if need be.
Now, I'm a Canadian so I really need someone to explain to me why England players retire from international play at such a young age.
Scholes 29
Shearer 28-29.
They still have a WC or Euro in them at near prime years, this just doesn't make sense to me.
Also, I know were getting off-topic here, but why isn't there a team Britain?
England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland (though this one I can understand) are all seperate and yet they have been incorporated into Britain for, at the very least, 300 years.
Longer than Germany, Italy, Modern France (using Wales as an example).
I know it's off-topic and I'll take it to another forum if need be but it just came to me as I was posting the Scholes thing.

Any of these guys shouldn't even be considered?

Leonidas da Silva was top scorer in the 1938 World Cup with 8 goals, including a four-goal haul in the remarkable 6-5 win over Poland. Leonidas was the first man to score four goals in a World Cup match - five minutes ahead of Poland's Ernst Willimowski - and for the semifinal against Italy, manager Ademar Pimenta rested him. It was an over-confident move and the Italians won 2-1. Despite his size, Leonidas, capped 23 times, was one of the most outstanding pre-war centre-forwards and famed for his bicycle-kick.
Born in 1913, he was known as the "Black Diamond" or the "Rubber Man". He began his career with local Rio teams, before joining Peñarol of Uruguay in 1933, a year after scoring two goals on his international debut against Uruguay. He returned to Brazil after a year and helped Vasco Da Gama to the Rio Championship. After appearing in the 1934 World Cup, he was a key member of the Botafogo team which won the 1935 Rio title. The following year he signed for Flamengo, where he stayed until 1942. He then spent eight years at São Paolo before retiring in 1950. He returned to São Paolo as manager in 1953, before becoming a radio reporter and later the proprietor of a furniture store in São Paolo.
for Walter:
One of the true legends in German football, Fritz Walter, will always have a special position in his own country. Born in 1920, he missed many years of his career because of World War II, but still made his debut for the national team during those years. He played only for one club through-out his career, his birthtown club 1.FC Kaiserslautern where he won two German league championships as a playmaker and striker in the early 1950s.
In 1954, national team coach Sepp Herberger made Fritz Walter his captain as the West German team travelled across the border to Switzerland to participate in their first World Cup after the war. Walter was now 33 and lead the Germans through to the final where they met Hungary. A team which hadn’t lost a match in four years! The Germans, with many reserves, lost 8-3 in the first round when the two teams met earlier in the tournament, and despite trailing by two goals already after ten minutes in the final, Walter drove his team forward. Amazingly enough, West Germany recovered and scored a winning goal in the dying minutes to win their first World Cup. Also in the team was Fritz's brother Ottmar making them the first brothers to win the World Cup. A proud captain Fritz Walter, who scored three goals in the tournament himself, could collect the trophy.
Walter captained West Germany also in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden as they reached the semifinals losing to the hosts 3-1 in Gothenburg. Fritz retired the following year, but coach Herberger had a hard time accepting that, and he seriously tried to persuade Walter to join the German team for the Chile World Cup in 1962 with no success. Walter was then almost 42! To illustrate his greatness and position, Fritz Walter made the German Team of the Century voted by the people in 1999. Kaiserslautern paid tribute to him by naming their stadium after him on his 65th birthday in 1985.
