International Career
Jenas has played internationally for England from the Under-15 level right up to the senior team, where he made his debut against Australia on 12 February 2003. Despite struggling with injury towards the end of the 2005–06 season, he recovered sufficiently to be named in the 2006 World Cup squad. His improvement at Spurs earned him a call-up to the England squad for Fabio Capello's first game in charge, a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley. Jenas scored the opening goal as England won 2-1.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
