International Career
Euell was capped by the England under-20 team. He was in the squad for the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia. After being an unused substitute for England's opening game in Group F, a 2–1 victory over Côte d'Ivoire on 18 June, he made his debut two days later as a 64th minute replacement for Michael Owen in a 5–0 win over United Arab Emirates. On 26 June he was an 81st minute substitute in England's 2–1 Round of 16 defeat to Argentina.
Euell qualified to play for Jamaica as his father was born there. And in July 2004, after attending a match between Jamaica and Haiti, Euell committed himself to play for the Jamaican national team, saying, "The last few weeks have really made me want to play for Jamaica. There is a World Cup to play for and it would just be amazing to be part of a tournament like that." His debut came in the Reggae Boyz' final group game in their CONCACAF third stage qualification for the 2006 World Cup finals. Euell came on as a 71st minute substitute in a 1–1 draw with the United States, a result which meant Jamaica were knocked out of the competition. On 1 June 2006 he scored in a 1–4 friendly defeat to Ghana at the Walkers Stadium, Leicester. That year he also played in a 0–6 friendly defeat to England.
He went on to make a total of three appearances for Jamaica, scoring one goal, from 2004 to 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
