Especially Bobby Zamora. In fact I've just figured out Capellos plan. He's going to try and make Spain split their sides laughing at us. When they're all on the floor in stiches we'll hoof it long and knock it in, game won, job done.

Contract clause. We get a million when he is capped for England.

"With Sturridge's contract at Manchester City expired, he signed for Chelsea on a four-year contract on 3 July 2009.[18] As Sturridge is under the age of 24,[19] and the two sides were unable to agree a deal, the fee for Sturridge was decided by a tribunal. The Professional Football Compensation Committee decided on 14 January 2010, that Chelsea would pay an initial fee of £3.5 million with additional payments of £500,000 after each of 10, 20, 30 and 40 first-team competitive appearances. There will also be a further payment of £1 million if the player makes a full international appearance, and Manchester City will receive 15 per cent of any sell-on fee if Sturridge is transferred."

Micah Richards' England Situation
Micah Richards, only 23 years of age and he is already a Manchester City stalwart and is first choice Right Back for England. At least that’s what I should be able to type, but unfortunately thanks to a certain 'coach' Micah has only been able to fulfil one part of that sentence.
For his club he has been in imperious form playing a major role in City’s hunt for success both domestically and abroad, as for his England career it has been a different story. Despite being the best Right Back in the country over the last two years, England manager Fabio Capello has not seen fit to even give the Leeds born defender a chance to show what he can do. And there is no comprehensible reason as to why that has been the case.
Micah would be the very first to admit that under Hughes’ management at City he took his eye off the ball a little. But under the tutelage of Roberto Mancini the defender has excelled in every aspect of his game. Just look at the Manchester derby not three weeks ago, he mercilessly crushed each and every attacking probe made by Ashley Young to pass him and then turned defence into attack setting up a superb assist for Sergio Aguero, one of four assists already this season (only one less than Ashley Young and equal to that of Milner, Agbonlahor and Lampard)
And once more as the England squad is announced I see Micah’s name missing from the list and I cannot imagine the disappointment he is current feeling, there is nothing more he can physically do. I reckon Micah could achieve 10 out of 10 for every performance from now until the next international break and he still wouldn’t be called up. No Capello sees fit to call up Liverpool ‘defender’ Glen Johnson, a player who has only managed three games all season due to injury. Fact is the England squad is no longer picked on form, and before I get the ‘Micah didn’t have his best day yesterday’ comments Zamora was rubbish for Fulham today yet he’s in the squad. I don’t know what Capello has against Richards but one thing is for sure England’s loss is certainly City’s gain.

Even our friends at rag cafe are scratching their cavernous noggins...
What on earth does Richards have to do to get a call-up?
Can't fathom why Richards can't get in the squad. I have never been completely convinced by him but he's been outstanding this season. I mean, it's not as if the other options at RB are wonderful are they?
I'd have Hargreaves in the squad ahead of G. Johnson.

Micah has been the best English right back in the league all of this year. He has improved hugely both going forward and in the defence. How he cant get into the squad never mind start for England is mind blowing. Just look at that squad the player I had worries about getting into it was AJ. Capello it seems has no time for Micah and just doesnt like him. Its a shame for Micah as it seems he wants to play for England great for us. Yesterday was a minor blip the pressure got to him I think he was trying too hard with him being Captain for the day also put added pressure on him.
