Lampard Is Obviously Hitting The Bottle Again

Frank Lampard believes that Brazil would love to get their hands on some of Fabio Capello's stars.

His comical comments come as England only need two more points to qualify for next summer's World Cup, after a flawless qualifying campaign versus unsung weak opponents, and having failed to make it to the last EuroCup.

Hope that 2010 could finally be the year that England win a major tournament, is all that's left.

However Lampard has no doubts that even Brazil would be reaching for their chequebook to try and buy England players if international rules allowed.

It is worth mentioning that international rules do allow this, as several Brazilians already do play for European national squads, including European Champions Spain.

But back to the boozer's comments ahead of England's friendly in Amsterdam on Wednesday—he declared: "I think they would."

"I'm certain they would look at some of the players because we've got top, top players who perform in Champions League and are some of the best in the world."

"You're talking about Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, John Terry, and Rio Ferdinand. Those guys could be compared to any player in the world and I'm sure teams like Brazil would want them in their teams."

"It's certainly a relief not to have to worry about that," admitted Lampard, who was speaking at an event organised by England team sponsors Nationwide Building Society.

"We should believe in ourselves because individual-wise our players have got the talent to match anyone."

When we bear in mind that England have never beaten Brazil in a competitive match ever in the history of football, Brazil are fresh off yet another record breaking Confederations Cup title and England couldn't even qualify for their local continental cup...

We can only assume that old Lampard's been hitting the bottle again.

Lucky for him that no assault charges should arise from this one as uttering senseless drivel is still legal in the U.K.
