Spurs players on international duty thread

[Spursidol]

I remember the days when Spurs fans took pride in having players in any national squad. Now, a selection is seen as an injury hazard.

A few too many meaningless international callups for my liking these days - classic case being Romero who has a 2 match international ban, but called up in case he gets let off his 2nd match ban and a new 'Nations' Tournament (and yes I know it replaced 'friendlies'), and there being 2 or even 3 matches in international breaks now rather than one match (years ago).

Doesn't help when you compare the number of players called up from Newcastle (very few) allowing them 2 weeks training and match preparation time which the Spurs team won't get as there's only 4 or 5 players NOT called up.
.
I still take pride, but mainly for international tournament finals rather than qualification games

Amazing to think that (bar Kane's injury) our entire First Choice XI are full Internationals!

Remember when we used to get a hard on if so much as ANDY SINTON or ILLE DUMITRESCU got a call-up!?

how times have a-changed!

BTW, Did I miss a meeting... when the hell did Roberto Martinez become Belgium coach?
It either totally passed me by, or I instantly forgot!

I think the shortlist was him, Tintin and Hercule Poirot. There arent any other Belgians apart from them I gather, so even he couldn't fail to get the nod on that one. Hopefully he'll go with his favourite 0-0-10 formation, so that Jan, Toby and Moose can get a rest.

Not sure if you are serious or not, but no he did not.

I still take pride and, like Conte, realise how much it means to the players themselves. Absolute joke that Eric is not with the England squad.
