    Marshall has been called up to the Scotland squad for the friendly against Holland, despite not playing a single minute of Championship football this season. McGregor, hasn't been included (although did I read somewhere he has retired?). Cairney has been overlooked too, but Liam Cooper is in.

    Irvine is in the Aussie squad for the intercontinental play off against Honduras. He'll be frigged travelling home and away.

    Ola Aina is in the Nigeria squad to play Algeria on November 10th.

    Ashley Young is back in too. No sign of Oxlade-C, Sturridge or Defoe.

    Abraham is a significant call-up, as Nigeria have been sniffing around and we were in danger of letting him slip away like Zaha did.

    No sign of Livermore either - is he injured, or has he slipped behind Winks and Delph?

    It's only a friendly, so he could still technically switch.

    Indeed, but getting him involved in the squad and keeping him sweet doesn't hurt.

    This opportunity to switch does my head in. Once committed end of. If you feel English and qualify to play for England then play for England. Same re other countries

    I can totally understand people's reasons for switching, especially given England's very selective policies over the last few years. If people don't think they're going to get a chance then they'll opt to play for somebody who will use them. They could spend their whole life waiting for a call up and never get one, it's about taking the opportunity.

    I had a chat with Liam Rosenior a few years ago about why he never chose to play for Sierra Leone, like his Dad. He said that the major factor was that the country's football system was very corrupt and he didn't feel right doing it. He did say, however, that both himself and Curtis Davies (who also qualifes for Sierra Leone and Ireland) would consider a call up in the future if they sorted themselves out.

    I think Bowen deserves an U21 call up.

    Very true what Rossy said, in Africa usually the player gives a brown envelope to the coach as playing money to get in the team.
