Afraid we're into injury-time for today's Sportsday. But before the final whistle goes, the last word goes to England new-boy Harry Kane following his maiden call-up.

"It was a very proud moment, it's an honour to be called up to the senior side and something I'd always dreamed of as a kid," he tells the Spurs official website.

Josh Sloane: The England squad looks good from an attacking perspective. Good depth in midfield and up front, but centre-back is still a weak area.

Crystal Palace players can follow the example of Harry Kane and earn a place in the England squad, says Eagles boss Alan Pardew.

Palace's English stars Scott Dann, Joel Ward and Wilfried Zaha have all impressed since Pardew took over in January.

"Our boys are fighting for their status. You need to gain your status, and to be fair to Harry Kane he has done that really fast," says Pardew.

"Let's hope we can produce someone of that ilk because he is a really good example to every young player up and down the country."

Jermaine Beckford says he considered retiring from football because of the problems caused by an ear infection.

The 31-year-old striker, who is currently on loan at Preston from Bolton, has scored four goals in his five outings since returning to the team following a month-long absence.

"I couldn't move," Beckford tells BBC Radio Lancashire. "I was laying down in bed and any time I tried to sit up I would pretty much lose consciousness and pass out. I would get dizzy, throw up, that sort of thing - it was brutal, a really, really tough time.

"After the third week I'd seen no improvement at all and I thought to myself 'well after three weeks nothing has got better - I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to call it a day soon'.

"I think the first time I sat up was maybe about 24 or 25 days into it."

Lindsey Vonn equals Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmark's record of 19 World Cup titles.

Nope, none of those three fixtures (see below) are anticipated to attract Britain's largest football crowd this weekend.

The answer? Bristol City v Walsall. That's right, Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final is expected to be watched by about 72,000 at Wembley.

Only the huge Spanish clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid is expected to host a bigger crowd. Let's hope the standard of League One football is of similar quality...

On your way home from work? Here's a little teaser to entertain you. Which fixture will attract will the highest attendance in British football this weekend?

Could it be Liverpool v Manchester United? How about Newcastle v Arsenal? Or Celtic v Dundee United perhaps?

France legend Michel Platini hails the decision to award the 2019 Women's World Cup to his home nation.

"Everyone in France will be very pleased I am sure - and women's football is growing very strongly in the country," he says.

Holding the 2022 World Cup final on 18 December is a "good date", according to Uefa president Michel Platini.

"Perhaps 23 December would be too late if you are trying to get all the fans back on 24 December. But 18 December is fine for Uefa - we can accommodate any changes to the Champions League," says former Juventus and France star Platini.

Hollywood star Russell Crowe says he wants "nothing but success" for Leeds United after admitting he would consider buying the Yorkshire club.

Boyhood Whites fan Crowe, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Simon Mayo ahead of the release of his latest film The Water Diviner, says he is "getting a little impatient" about the club's plight.

"I have learnt a lot in nine years - it would give me nothing but pleasure to see that white army marching on together, getting back in the Premier League and being where they should be."
