Tottenham Hotspur central defender Michael Dawson retains hope that he can force his way into the England squad for this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

The 26-year-old has yet to win a senior cap, but still believes that he can impress national team head coach Fabio Capello in the final few weeks of the season.

Dawson said: "I've not booked my holidays yet.

"My wife keeps nagging me and asking me where we are going. I might not have decided yet.

"Even if I don't get selected for the World Cup, I'd be watching every England game anyway.

"It's a dream to play for England, I was a sub a few times but never got on the pitch. Winning an FA Cup, finishing fourth and going with England would be everything.

"People say what do I have to do - I say if I keep playing well I will have a chance."
