World Cup 2006 News

After making a successful return from a persistent groin injury Owen Hargreaves still hopes to be part of Sven-Goran Eriksson´s squad for the upcoming World Cup. Since his comeback on march 19th he has played all the 5 matches and he even scored. So it seems pretty clear that he´s actually trying to catch one of the 23 spots on England´s Team. Even though he knows that it might not get very easy given that the rest of the squad is not that bad. But Hargreaves stays optimistic:

I am sure he is keeping an eye on me.

This quote derives from soccernet and is very suitable for this 25 year-old player. He knows it´s not his last chance to play at a World Cup, but he´s also aware of the fact that he´s become a decent player and therefore Eriksson is up to a pretty big decision. We´ll all know more mid-may. Less than a month now, huh.
