CROUCH WANTS WORLD CUP ROLE

Stoke city striker Peter Crouch has said that he was extremely disappointed to be left out of the Euro 2012 selected by the manager Roy Hodgson, but has said that he will definitely make it into the squad for the Brazil 2014 World Cup.

The 31-year-old striker has a fantastic record for the England national team after having scored 22 goals in just 42 international matches. However, he failed to be a first-team regular under the former manager Fabio Capello, while he was left out of the squad entirely by the former Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson, who took over the England managerial job recently.
