Fulham striker Zamora not worrying about England squad

In-form Fulham striker Bobby Zamora says he is not worrying too much about the England squad ahead of the World Cup.

The 29-year old has been very influential for the Cottagers this season, netting 19 goals in all competitions, and has been touted as a potential World Cup chance but admits that he hasn't put too much thought into being a part of Fabio Capello's team to travel to South Africa.

"I never think about England - ever," he said. "Most English strikers in the Premier League have already played for the country and they will all be ahead of me.

"Darren Bent has scored more than 20 goals this season and hasn't had a look-in apart from playing against Brazil.

"After that there is Heskey, Crouch, Carlton Cole, Gabby Agbonlahor and then there's (Wayne) Rooney. I look at their performances and - with the exception of Rooney - I feel I'm on a par with the rest. That's the way I see it. I've had a decent season and that's it.

"I thought Egypt was a possibility in March, but it didn't happen. I'm not beating myself up about it. Playing for Fulham won't make a difference, he will pick me if he wants to.

"I've had no communication with England, but why would I? It's not down to me, I'm not going to ask someone to send Fabio Capello a DVD of my goals."
