Hart - One Step At A Time

Last updated : 25 February 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

When asked about the draw, which obviously favours an England qualification, the City star said: "It's one step at a time. At the moment, as far as England is concerned, my goal is to get on the plane to Brazil for the World Cup.

"It's easy for the media to say it's an easy draw, but there are some tough opponents there.

"My mind is focused on Wembley at this moment, and there is no guarantee I will be in the team."

England have been handed a straightforward qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 while Scotland and the Republic of Ireland will face each other for a place at the finals in France.

Roy Hodgson's side were drawn in Group E along with Switzerland - the team he led to the 1994 World Cup finals - Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino.

England have never played Lithuania before, but San Marino have been regular opponents - in 1993 they famously scored after just 8.3 seconds against England after an attempted back-pass by Stuart Pearce.
