I'm up for it."I'm for continuity, keeping playing, keeping the momentum. The more you play, you create the better style of football, which is what everyone's waiting for in Australia."We want to go into the World Cup playing good football and winning games."I've always prided myself in being someone who plays every game, not someone who misses out, that likes to be rested, regardless of knocks and injuries."Club-mate Marouane Fellaini is another who hopes to carry on playing after the international break.The Belgian is treading a derby-day tightrope, for the second season running.The Everton midfielder has a much improved disciplinary record this season, but is one yellow card away from missing the Goodison derby on November 29.
