Peter Crouch hopes he has given coach Fabio Capello World Cup food for thought after his two goals helped England beat Egypt 3-1 at Wembley.
The Tottenham striker took his goal tally for his country to 20 in 37 games after replacing club-mate Jermaine Defoe at half-time when England trailed to Mohamed Zidan's opener.
And Crouch is hopeful that will help him secure a spot on the plane to South Africa.
"Anyone who plays for England is going to feel under pressure, certainly in a World Cup year," he told ITV1.
"You can only try to do your best and I did.
"Its up to the manager. All you've got to do when given your chance is try and take it and I've given the manager something to think about tonight."
Manager Fabio Capello told ITV1: "He's one of the players, one of the forwards. I'm happy. I have to choose from a lot of players, it's good.
"Crouch is a big option for me because sometimes you can play long ball.
"Today we didn't, and he played very well with one touch, two touches. In the second half he made the difference."
