[LNB]"Every player dreams of playing in a World Cup and I'm no different. But I know it's going to be very difficult to get into the squad. [LNB]"I'll never give up trying and hopefully I can do enough to get selected. [LNB]"But, even if I finish the season as the highest scorer in the country, I wouldn't automatically expect to be in the squad." [LNB]Bent admits that his style of play may not be to the liking of the Italian, which could prove a stumbling block for his inclusion next summer.[LNB]He said: "Mr Capello has a way of playing and a structure to his team. And if you don't fit, you won't get in.[LNB]"All I can do is keep playing well and scoring goals for Sunderland."[LNB]
