Picked to represent his country is known as being "capped".
That's a birthday cap. (Or a "I'm happy to see Frankie" cap).
Neither, that's HT without the make up.
Thats a real honour! He'll be a talented lad. You are right to be very proud.
My children's school played in the Daily Mail cup final the other year (We came second!). There were several matches played apart from the final.
In each game you could tell the difference between the Internationals and the others. You didn't need the programme to tell you. They were head and shoulders! Much more time.
What age group is he in?... Difficult to tell from size nowadays.... They're all huge!

Your right it difficult to tell their ages but it's under 16 but some of them look 20.how emotional was I when they lined up for the national anthem?
OMG..............I'm over 1,000 posts. I wanted it to be a special one. Now I have to go back and see which one it was.

Frankie, in the good old upper crust days of England, aka the "British Empire" players of international football games used to be given an actual head cap to celebrate the event, to day it is a medal and a trophy, but it still gets called being capped.
Unlike the Italian / Bronx version of being capped you may be familiar with........

Actually they still get a cap. My friends son plays rugby for England. He's in the under 18s.

How is the crossing, we were delayed three hours yesterday at Calais due to immigrants, two tried to gain access to the van, and damaged it when they found it locked, scarred the kids, and the French Police just shrugged, nothing they can do!
Late!
They're still putting cars on and we should have left 10 minutes ago.. Ho hum!

Better late than never Nick. Have patience, you will get to your destination before we get to ours. Whatever you do enjoy when you get there .
Have a good one Tony!
We've set sail!
Off to bed, 7 hours drive in the morrow.
