James playing the waiting game

David James is unsure of whether he has done enough to cement his spot as England's number one goalkeeper at the World Cup.[LNB] The Portsmouth shot-stopper, who suffered with a knee injury last season, made his first England start since April last year in the World Cup warm-up match against Japan on Sunday. [LNB]James was replaced by Joe Hart for the second half in Graz as the Three Lions clinched a 2-1 win, while West Ham keeper Robert Green is also in the frame for South Africa. [LNB]And despite being tipped to land the No.1 jersey this summer, James insists nothing is certain until manager Fabio Capello names his final squad on Tuesday. [LNB]"It's been a long season obviously, with injuries and whatever else," James told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"Just to start today was very nice because it was my first start in over a year. [LNB]"We'll see what happens with the selection. Hart played well in the second half and the squad's looking alright, so we'll see. [LNB]"As far as I'm concerned, the way that Mr Capello sorts things out, by the start (of the World Cup) the squad will be in the best shape we can be. [LNB]"I'm hoping it'll be myself of course, but it's about the squad, and if the squad's going to do alright then I'm sure we'll be there for that."
