Hi everyone,Well, what a fantastic feeling to know that England will definitely be going to next year’s World Cup in South Africa. After the disappointment of not getting to Euro 2008, qualifying so comfortably for the biggest tournament on earth was an achievement. The match against Croatia wasn’t about revenge after they stopped us qualifying two years ago, it was about getting the right result, playing well and doing ourselves justice, and I think we achieved all three.
Obviously, I was pleased to get on the pitch and play a small part. By the time I came on though the game was all but won, so it was nice to be out there enjoying it with the other players. Of course, the hard work really starts now so it’s up to all the players who want a place to prove they are worthy and I’m certainly one of them.
I’d be honoured to be picked for the squad and I shall try and make sure that I continue to work hard to give myself the best possible chance.I’d like to add my thanks to the England fans for their support of the team. As I said previously, they are some of the most amazing fans in the world and a tournament in South Africa will be poorer without them so it will be great that they will have the chance to experience a World Cup in Africa.
On my way now back to LA for an important match this weekend against Dallas. We need to keep our recent good run and make a push for the play offs.
That’s all for now.
Take care,
David
