Stoke City striker Peter Crouch accepts being overlooked for England's World Cup squad.
Crouch was a veteran of England's 2006 and 2010 campaigns in Germany and South Africa.
He said: "I called which strikers would go - Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Rickie Lambert - weeks ago as I felt they were the ones who were the most in-form. All four of them deserve to go.
"My advice to any of the lads going to their first World Cup would be to enjoy it and take it all in if you can. It can be a blur.
"People are watching every single game at the World Cup and you are under the microscope.
"What is good about the squad at the minute is there are a lot of young players and it is a bit different. Hopefully they will go into the tournament with no fear and enjoy it."
