They'd either have to really want him there, or be spiteful enough about it to lose a squad place to do that. I don't think either situation applies. | |

Of course he *can*, but should he? If Watson is to be believe he hasn’t retired from internationals. | |

And doubly so if your likely inclusion is going to be limited to sitting on the bench, and getting perhaps nine minutes across the tournament. | |

It sounds even worse when you put it like that. | |

If you listen to Mass' interview, he announced his retirement from International football, as a way of "bossing" the situation, himself. And being in control of it, instead of being dicked about (to put it bluntly).. I can imagine Morsy chatting with Mass/KM/ Egypt staff/ any mates he's got in their squad, and then just deciding to be the boss of it.. Quit sure if he was integral to their first 11, he would be on the plane. And club would have come 2nd, naturally... | | | |
