Bent gets England call-up
Darren Bent has been called up to Fabio Capello's latest England squad and what great news it is. He becomes the first Sunderland player to appear in an England shirt since Kevin Phillips played against the Netherlands in 2002.
However, despite the fact that it is wonderful to have a familiar name in the England set-up once again, and it is much deserved, how typical it is that it happens in a game that needlessly takes place in Qatar.
Bent will be traveling half way around the world to take part in the game, but it will be fascinating to see if the former Ipswich, Charlton and Spurs man gets to have a go against the Brazilians.
The call-up comes after Bent has scored eight goals this season and will no doubt cheer him up after his penalty miss at the weekend.
Congratulations Darren, you deserve it.
