[ijjysmith]

Despite fears over the quality of England's squad for Euro 2012, France coach Laurent Blanc is confident he knows about every one of Roy Hodgson's men,

apart from the reserve left-back, the one who plays for Everton

In a squad containing such lumineries as John Ruddy, Andy Carroll and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he's hardly the least notable one there, though is he? To be singled out like he has been as the only one with no reputation is worthy of note at least.

It's an odd comment rather than an offensive one, but he has played in cup finals, cup semi finals, european games and full internationals before so I'm not sure why he's meant to be so terribly obscure. Unless it's just that most of the team have played champions league and he hasn't.

Ooh, very gene hunt!

Personally I'm not getting wound up by this fellas comments, on the basis that it probably wasn't meant to be offensive.
