Portsmouth keeper James: I am feeling pressure from Birmingham No1 Hart

Portsmouth goalkeeper David James admits he feels the pressure from Birmingham No1 Joe Hart over his England place.

James admits youngster Hart - now a real rival for the England No 1 jersey - has impressed him this season.

He said: "I like Joe Hart. I said at the start of the season that was a good loan move for him and so it has proved.

"We play Birmingham soon and I really hope he drops one in from a corner!"

James, who will be 40 next August, insists he will not quit after the World Cup. He said: "If I'm fit, capable and wanted, then I'll keep playing."
