Joe Cole insists England having a successful World Cup is more important than his own battle to be part of Fabio Capello's final squad of 23.[LNB] Cole is sweating on his place for South Africa but came off the bench as a second-half substitute to set up the equaliser in today's 2-1 win over Japan in Austria.[LNB]The Chelsea player said: "Do I have any nerves? You've got to be pragmatic about it. I came here 10 days ago to try to enjoy my time back here, train well, and it's in the manager's hands about the squad.[LNB]"There are a lot of players who will be hoping, a lot of players have got a good case. But, whatever happens, we are all right behind England and hopefully this will be our time.[LNB]"Have I done enough? I don't want to go into that. I came here 10 days ago. I had a good finish to the season, I wasn't starting but I was having an impact coming off the bench.[LNB]"I came here and did my thing and I've enjoyed it because it has been such a long time, Croatia was my last game and I ended up with 10 stitches in my head![LNB]"It is just nice to be back around the lads and it feels great."[LNB]Cole added: "I don't know what I will do on Tuesday. I've never been in this position. I don't know. It is a funny atmosphere. There is nothing you can do.[LNB]"We've done everything we can do, we've trained hard, everyone has had an excellent week's training and that's all you can do.[LNB]"I'll wake up, have my breakfast and there we go."
