Stoke City boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 to win over a place in the national team, and praised his massive impact at the Britannia Stadium.
The 31-year old was overlooked by Roy Hodgson for England’s 24-man squad for the World Cup Qualifiers.
The lanky striker is believed to have soar relations with the veteran Englishman.
Earlier, the Three Lions manager included him in the reserve squad for the Euro 2012 competition. However, Crouch turned down the call-up, as he was gutted over not being included in the regular squad.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 player, who was signed by the Potters last year from Tottenham Hotspur, has been in scintillating form of late.

Last week, he scored a brace against Swansea City to help his team record their first win of the campaign.
Pulis feels that the striker’s phenomenal form of late merited him a position in the national team.
He said that currently, Crouch was the best player in the Stoke City squad, and wants more of his players to break into the England fold.
“I spoke to Peter about it (not getting an England call-up) and said the best thing Peter can do is keep doing what he is doing,” he told the reporters.
“He's played exceptionally well last year and he's started this season on fire. He's been our best player, probably, over the games we have played and his goal tally is very, very good and we're very pleased with him.”
Anyhow, the Welshman refused to criticize Hodgson’s selection policy. Instead, he feels that the former West Bromwich boss was the best man for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 job, and that coaching the Three Lions was one of the most difficult jobs in football.
“Roy has a very difficult http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, if not the most difficult job in English football. He has a responsibility to himself, his coaching staff and the nation to pick the side he thinks is good enough,” he added.
England are set to play 2 World Cup qualifiers against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 this month.
