Re: James Trafford England call up
This should come as a great boost in confidence for young Trafford but before you outraged England "fans" get your knickers in a twist he won't be in the next squad, he is available in this break to sit on the bench rather than GS call another keeper in at late notice.

Re: Internationals 23-3-24
There was a lot wrong with the earlier offside law. Whether a player in an offside position was interfering with play was entirely down to the opinion of the referee! Just take a look at the England v Portugal semi final in 1966, for both of Charlton’s goals, Roger Hunt was stood in an offside posi...

Re: James Trafford England call up
Frankly I'm amazed that any genuine Burnley fan can't see this as a positive.
And for those who don't understand why he may be in the squad: he's not been plucked from the ether he's been in the England system for years, and that is because he is/has been very highly rated.

daveisaclaret wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 7:17 pmCommon sense from an England perspective. There isn't really anyone else available and not many would be particularly thankful for a last minute call-up to be third choice for a friendly anyway. Give your under 21 goalie the experience.

Sorry but anybody who says that doesn't understand the game at all. You would have forwards just sat there in front of goal and defenders wouldn't push up field due to forwards running in behind. There would be a lot less running. You'd have players like Kane waiting near the goal and there would b...

That's good because Weghorst isn't that sort of player and doesn't play that way. His game is about coming deep, linking play. Like we've seen Kane do. His height is a red herring.
