caps (futbol)

[Maika]

He played for almost two decades, and won twenty England caps.

¿caps aquí se refiere a títulos, premios, trofeos, campeonatos? No sé. ¿Me ayudan?

 

[speedier]

Significa el numero de partidos en que participó.

 

[Lis48]

He played 20 times for England.

Every time a player plays for his country he receives an actual cap (headgear) as an honorary award. So the number of international games coincides with the number of caps in his cupboard.

There´s a short history here

Gracias a los tres, entonces entiendo que es una gorra conmemorativa por un partido internacional en el que juega por su país. Qué interesante, no sabía...
