Portsmouth boss Grant: James will be England No1 in South Africa

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 10:29

Portsmouth boss Avram Grant believes David James will go to South Africa as England's outright No1.

The Israeli is backing the shot-stopper to be England’s first choice at this summer’s World Cup.

Grant said: “I have a feeling that when we come to the World Cup, he will be the first choice. He has experience, understanding of football and also passion for the game. When you have that knowledge it is good and you have to use it.

“For me, he is No.1, but I am not the coach of England. Fabio Capello is the man who will decide. He’ll make the decision, but there are still three months to the World Cup. There is still a lot of time for things to change.”
