Does Owen still long to play for England?

Question

Or has the Man U striker accepted he is no longer part of the National team?

Answer 1

Owen is well known for playing a straight bat in interviews, but even he has admitted to choosing his words more carefully when discussing his future prospects as an England player. Capello wants to use only players who regularly appear for their team, while Owen has failed to be a regular member of the Man U side this season. Owen told the Independent: "I've said many times that it's difficult for me to talk about it. I can't find the right words because, one slip of the tongue and I'm on the back page. If I said what I think or how I feel or everything else, I'd only be lying to you."
