Burnley fullback Tyrone Mears hopes he can convince England boss Fabio Capello he deserves a call-up this season.
Mears is being mentioned as a late gatecrasher for Capello's World Cup squad.
And the fullback said: "I don't know. I think anything can happen in football. I hope my performances will warrant him (Capello) coming to games.
"Whether he's watching other players and I happen to be playing in the same game I hope he does come and watch and get to see for himself. I feel I'm playing well enough as any other right back in the league."
