Lallana and Cork called up for Under-21s

Lallana and Cork are in the under-21 squad for England's match with Wales on Friday....so it looks as though their quality has been recognised.

Do you think any more could be on the verge of a call-up??

Hasn't Surman already played for them?

Yeah I'm sure he has

They didn't make the team although Cork warmed the bench. James played last 6 minutes for Wales.

The experience of joining the squads could be a lift for them.

It is reported on the OS that they have both been called up to the squad again. It will be interesting to see if they get a game this time.

What has happened to Surman because he was getting into the squad on a regular basis last year?

He is 22 now, too old?

I see they were both used as subs last night.

Couldn't believe the timings though. Thought they could have got a bit longer.

Jack Cork played half an hour which isn't bad

Peckhart was playing for the Czechs as well

And Pearce had a shocker for Scotland

Bit of a jump from the likes of Preston and Woves to Internationals though. Was it his first game?

pearce was for U-21 as well (lost 3-1 to northern ireland U-21)

here's the report http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7734230.stm

It's not good when the manager moans about the two CB's.
