World Cup 2014: 5 Southampton Players Who Could Represent England

4. Rickie Lambert

Let€™s be honest, England aren€™t exactly blessed with a string of top strikers to choose from. Therefore, Rickie Lambert€™s presence in and around the international set-up shouldn€™t come as a massive surprise. That being said, Lambert hasn€™t yet been able to recapture the form has shown in the last two seasons. The striker scored 15 EPL goals last season, and produced 27 league strikes in the Championship the season prior to that. So far this season, Lambert has score four times from his first 16 games, so he will certainly be looking for more goals in the games that follow. The player€™s average rating is also a little low at 6.71, but has provided four assists and takes 2.6 shots on average per match. In terms of England, Lambert has already made the breakthrough at that level €“ and of all the Southampton players at this level is the one that is most likely to go to the World Cup. We all remember that the forward managed to score on his debut against Scotland, and has managed to stay involved with the national set-up ever since which has allowed him to win four caps and score two goals.
