No Tottenham player in the Squad, long time since that's happened
 
Hell of a long time, possibly not this century, maybe as long ago as 1978!
The England squad for World Cup 2014 didn't contain a single Spurs player.
They finished bottom of the group and got a single point from a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica.
Notable omissions include Walker, Rose, Dawson, Lennon and a very young Kane.
 
Seen videos of Son limping off in the 82nd min against Singapore, he returned to finish the game, the club need to sit him down and have a word

Hopefully that means that he's alright.
He also scored the standard yet ridiculous Son goal from just outside the corner of the box:

Leicester fans may wish to look away to avoid triggering some PTSD.
 
He's an idol in South Korea. No way would he pull out of a squad
That's true but it was a game where at the time he was injured they were 4-0 up , he needs to think smarter in games , go on the pitch, wave a few flags and play in the important games otherwise he is getting clogged out of football at this rate, the last 3 SK international's he has hobbled off

For some reason I have blocked that tournament from my memory banks - you see what happens when you don't take a Spurs player! .........and the squad did contain a current Spurs player
