Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says the club can be proud to have players at this month's World Cup.

The trio of Nenad Milijas (Serbia), Adlene Guedioura (Algeria) and Marcus Hahnemann (USA) gives Wolves their best World Cup showing at the tournament for 52 years.

"The fact that we have three players in the World Cup Finals, whether they play or not, highlights how well we have done and what the club has achieved," he said.

"It's been getting better and better. Having got back into the Premier League, and staying there, I think that it's another feather in the cap of the club that we have three players going to South Africa.

"I'm delighted for the lads. Marcus played half a game the other day, Adlene played against Ireland and Nenad has been a regular in the Serbia side.

"I think it's great."
