Peter Crouch admits the entire England squad are "on trial" on and off the training pitch as they attempt to convince Fabio Capello they should be part of his World Cup squad.
Crouch claims the conduct of the players around the team hotel is as important a factor as impressing when in action at England's pre-tournament camp in Austria.
The Tottenham striker said: "I've tried to impress and do well regardless of the World Cup at the end of it. It is fair to say we are judged on everything, time-keeping, with regards to footwear, your conduct around the hotel."
