Phil Jagielka will be very unlucky if he doesn't get his first England cap
PHIL JAGIELKA can count himself very unlucky if he doesn't get his first England cap this week.
I'm not sure if it will happen tomorrow, when Fabio Capello should be looking to put out his strongest side possible at Wembley against the USA.
But after that? The big players should be told to get home and have a good rest, particularly the ones who were in the Champions League final.
It makes sense for both parties. The players can put in one last big effort for Capello while he gets to see his top players in serious action.
And by letting them off going to the jolly-up that is Trinidad, the Italian can then expect them to be refreshed and ready when they come back for the qualifiers next season.
A case of 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours if ever there was one.
And a case of him telling the players who do go to Trinidad to show him what they can do when they get a chance.
And that could be the ideal scenario for Jagielka to gain his ultimate reward for all he's achieve in his first season at Everton.
