Joe Cole reckons Chelsea pal Frank Lampard is a goal away from becoming the World Cup's main man.

Lampard netted 32 goals last season for club and country - and was a major factor in Chelsea winning the Double.

And ahead of tonight's opener with the USA, Cole said: "The best thing that could happen for England is for Frank to score in the first game.

"If he gets one he gets on a roll. He seems to score his goals in bunches and if we are going to do something in this tournament we are going to need Frankie to score two, three or four goals.

"We are also going to need Wazza to score four or five and ones and twos chipped in from everyone else because we are going to need goals from the midfield."
