Apples and oranges. Don't conflate being the Highest Scoring Midfielder in an English League with the quality/success of the English National Team and compare that to other countries' national teams. Last I checked, players from all of those countries mentioned have played in the English Premiere League and none of them, even with their storied careers, come close to the success that Lampard enjoyed.
Lampard was world-class at his position for his entire career, and in 2005 was runner-up to Ronaldo (the Brazilian) for both the European and World player of the year awards. He would have made absolutely any national team, and would have been part of any worldwide best XI during that period. And he retired from national team duty in order to prioritise league play, not because he could no longer compete at that level.
You've lost posting privileges. In his day, he was the third best midfielder in the world behind Scholes and Xavi. He could have played for Madrid or Barcelona or Bayern or Man U. He was a London boy who wanted to stay home. That's all.
Never would have played or made the team at Argentina , Brazil and Spain he lacks the talent and flair to play at a South American and a Spanish team . In Germany he has the same issue plus the germans have the speed that Lampard does not posses. like I said good player not a great player. Great players are Messi, Ineasta, Renaldo not a JAG like Lampard
Argentina? Seriously, they have amazing talent at the top and then it falls off fast. I'm not a huge lampard fan but I'm pretty sure he could have started for then this past works cup even well past his peak.
Argentina is feast or famine among the positions. They're stacked at forward. Midfield has seen better days with mostly destroyers being produced.
Wingert's agent says on Twitter that he's signing for RSL. Congrats to those who called it!

Even better, they claimed him off waivers. Which should mean goodbye to his $225k contract as well:
That is fucking amazing thank you RSL!!!! This is probably a thank you gesture for taking Grabavoy off their books last season.
You are totally wrong. The man's a legend. Once delivered a baby during halftime of a game. He beat Jordan and Bird in a game of horse. The guy's top notch.
Frank Lampard would start this summer for Argentina. He might even start for Brazil.
All that South American flair has really helped a lot at the last two world cups.
Messi and Renaldo are on a different level. In his prime, Frank was every bit the impact player of an Iniesta.
Great for us and good for him. Glad he ended up done place he wanted to be.
Umm, even England would like a word with you...excuse them if you don't understand scouse when you're told to go fuck yourself.
Gerrard was significantly better at peak than Lampard. Not even close.
Fucking RSL really has jumped the shark, right?
Their supporters are all, "Garth, my Garth, why hath though forsaken me. Forgive these ass clowns, they know not how to construct an MLS team."

Lampard was the better offensive player by a mile. Gerrard was the heart of Liverpool only because they didn't surround him with as much talent as Chelsea did with Lampard. But Gerrard, at his peak, was not as good as Lampard.
You sound dumb when you say he was significantly better. Did you ever even watch Lampard play for Chelsea? Some people consider him the second best player in the EPL era behind Scholes. Over Beckham. Over Drogba. Over Giggs. Over Suarez, Rooney, Ronaldo, Cech...you get the idea
We seemed to do not in the inagural season, lets hope that the money don't go to the same trash bin again.
