da prosport bet: Goalkeeper Joe Hart has admitted it would be a dream come true to be named in England's World Cup squad.
da supremo: Hart has seen his reputation spar on the back of an impressive Premier League season on loan at Birmingham City.
The 23-year-old has emerged as a genuine contender for the number one jersey occupied by Portsmouth veteran David James and West Ham's Robert Green in recent times since joining the Blues on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
However, until he is officially confirmed in coach Fabio Capello's provisional 30-man squad when it is announced on Tuesday, Hart is taking nothing for granted.
He said:"I just hope I can get into the squad. That's been my main aim all season – to perform well for Birmingham and hopefully that will result in me getting into the shake-up at the end it.
"I'd like to think I'm in the shake-up when he announces the squad in the next couple of days.
"It would be ideal to be in it – it would be a dream come true."
Hart, who was part of the England Under-21 squad which reached the final at last summer's European Championship, has won one full international cap to date.Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
