Jermain Defoe has expressed his disappointment at being left out of Englands provisional Euro 2016 squad despite scoring the goals that steered Sunderland to Premier League safety. Defoe, who won the last of his 55 caps in 2013, had hoped his top-flight tally of 15 - bettered only by Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and four overseas players - was enough to earn Roy Hodgsons vote. Obviously Ive not been involved with England for quite a while and Ive always thought that getting into an England squad before a tournament is based on merit, the 33-year-old told Sky Sports News. I just feel like Ive done everything that I could do. Jermain Defoe As a forward if you score goals then youve got a chance of going.Towards the end of the season I started thinking about it but before I wasnt. I was so focused on trying to help Sunderland stay in the Premier League.Its only when you see things in the papers and people start talking about it - just mentioning my name about maybe getting into the squad - then I started thinking about it. Who will make cut? Roy Hodgsons England dilemma So obviously, when youre not in the squad, its a disappointment.Despite his omission, Defoe is proud of his achievements this season and has not given up on returning to the England fold at some point.Ive never retired and Ill never turn my back on England because I still believe I can score goals at that level, he said. Thats whats kept me going, and one of the reasons I came back from the MLS. Defoe (L) celebrates another Sunderland goal I just feel like Ive done everything that I could do. Im delighted that Sunderland stayed up and on a personal note, Im delighted with the amount of goals that Ive scored.Thats all I could do, really. Also See: Rashford called up Where does Rooney fit?

Speight wont be eligible to play for the Wallabies until Sept. 11, the end of his 36-month wait to play test rugby. The winger made his debut for the ACT Brumbies in 2011, but a short stint playing for Waikato in the New Zealand provincial championship delayed his eligibility for the Wallabies, who arent wasting any time to include him. The first match hes available for will be against Argentina on Sept. 13 on the Gold Coast. Luke Burgess was in the 32-man squad named on Wednesday in place of scrumhalf Will Genia, who may still be recalled in the series if he recovers from an ankle injury. Genias Queensland teammate, flyhalf Quade Cooper, was also omitted as he recuperates from hip and shoulder surgeries, while winger Joe Tomane replaces Nick Cummins, who has left to play in Japan. The squad, captained by Michael Hooper, includes 25 players who featured in the 3-0 sweep of France last month. &quuot;Weve come a long way as a group over the past 12 months and the consistency were now applying across selections, high-performance behaviours, and our playing style is a positive sign that we are heading in the right direction," coach Ewen McKenzie said.dddddddddddd "The challenge for us now is to continue this consistency." There are 11 players each from New South Wales and ACT, who meet in the Super Rugby semifinals on Saturday in Sydney. The Rugby Championship, from Aug. 16 to Oct. 4, opens with the Wallabies hosting the All Blacks in Sydney. ------ Australia:: Forwards: Ben Alexander, Pek Cowan, James Slipper, Sekope Kepu, Scott Sio, Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Hanson, Nathan Charles, James Horwill, Rob Simmons, Will Skelton, Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, Scott Higginbotham, Michael Hooper (captain), Matt Hodgson, Wycliff Palu, Ben McCalman.
