Hey all,
Ignorant American here...
I've been watching the World Cup and when they display a players stats, they have a stat for "caps". What the #### is that? I can't find info on what that is anywhere...
*slowly backs out of forum*
Thanks...

No problem,
It's very straightforward.
Being "capped" is being playing a game for your national team. So to say, for example, that Michael Owen has been capped 38 times for England, means he has played 38 competitive matches for them. I don't believe "friendlies count"

Also when a player is 'capped' he recieves an actual cap, something like a baseball style cap with the teams logo.
During the '94 World Cup a player was Colombia was capped in a different way. He scored an own goal and was 'retired permanently' when he got home.
