Last updated : 31 March 2006 By x

Watford defender, Jay DeMerit is still hopeful of receiving a late call up into the United States side ahead of the World Cup.

The 26-year-old defender has been outstanding in partnership with Malky Mackay in the heart of the Golden Boys defence since the turn of the year and still has one eye on making the finals,

"Everyone wants to play international football, but those things are out of my hands."


"People are saying that US scouts are watching me, and that is great to hear. You always have a slight hope, but my best chance is probably further in the future."


Maybe so, but all Watford fans will be hoping for another International class performance by the Wisconsin born player at Selhurst Park tonight.
