Where have all the World Cup Hammers gone?

Has there ever been a World Cup with less interest for West Ham supporters? Admittedly we have former Hammers Glen Johnson and Frank Lampard in the England squad, but looking through the squads for the other countries the only players I can find with WHU links are Javier Mascherano of Argentina, Pablo Armero of Colombia and Valon Behrami at Switzerland. It doesn't say much for our foreign recruitment. Gone are the days when we had stray Pantsils, Bilics and Neills turning up whenever you switched the tele on and the England team was built around Ferdinand, Lampard, Cole, Defoe, Carrick, Johnson and sometimes even Upson and Green. Our best bet for 2018 is probably New Zealand qualifying and Winston Reid getting a game…

Armero started well. Soft goal, but superb celebration. I would have loved to have seen him do that with an embarrassed Nobes and Matt Taylor at the Boleyn...

Yes, what was all that arm waving about? And did you the Chop is assistant manager of Costa Rica who beat Uruguay?
