On a random note Henderson is the most capped current England player. Sterling is 2nd, two caps behind Hendo (this will likely be one cap since Hendo is suspended for the Spain game) . Sterling is most likely the next one to 100 caps since he is 4 and a half years younger than Hendo. Unless Hendo can go on playing International football for another 5 or so years.

Neither player has even 50 caps yet, 100 caps is years away if it happens at all.

How many caps does hendo have? In fairness, hendo was a young player during the "golden era" with players like Gerrard, lampard and Carrick in the mix. Very hard to get a game. Whereas sterling has been around during one of the worst spells of english football.

Spot on, Drogie and Ed25. England beat NOBODY at the WC and as soon as they found a real team with world class players (yes, that includes Lovren, lol) and a tactically brilliant manager, they crumbled and Southgate was shown to be the toddler that he is tactically, in the international game BUT credit to him and the team for getting there regardless.

As for the Euro 96 team, that team should have won the tournament cos yeah, they were that brilliant BUT you know life (as in Germany) got in the way. That Euro 96 team was the best England team since 1966 and they would effortlessly, wipe the floor with the so-called "golden generation". Just my opinion.

Brazil and holland always been the team I want to do well in any tourney
Love the fact Gini plays for them and usually plays well.

Been a Holland fan for 30 years or should I say, since I watched the Euro 1988 tournament and its final where Marco Van Basten (arguably the best CF ever) scored the best volley I have ever seen in my life, with legendary Rinus Michels rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

{Ed025's Note - what a goal that was brover top 3 ever i would say, im a massive marco fan mate..

Hey ed 25 I think Ronnie Whelans goal against Russia was every bit as good as van Bastens. Just my opinion 😎.

Deisered, I don't mind Whelan's volley at all as it was world class BUT if the great Rinus Michels was rubbing his eyes in disbelief after the goal then you know the magnitude of what he had just witnessed, man.
I mean, check the MVB goal again and check out the skill, technique, balance, body shape and ball to eye to feet co-ordination, ALL while striking the ball from the back post all the way into the opposing top corner. Now THAT my friend, is the best volleyed goal in football history. I have seen Whelan's goal scored before. Till this day 30 yrs after, I have never seen anyone replicate that MVB volley. If you have, let me know.
