Blues frontman Jon-Paul Pittman will be watching Saturday's World Cup clash between England and USA with mixed emotions.

'JP' was born in Oklahoma City, America, but moved to the U.S Air Force Base in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, when he was just six months old because of family work commitments.

And the charismatic Chairboy, who is known for celebrating his goals in style, will be tuning in to the Group C encounter alongside his family in Barbados. 

Talking exclusively to wwfc.com, he said: "The game should be a good one to watch. We all know the qualities England possess, but the USA have the ability to cause an upset.

"I'm just going to be neutral and try and look at a few things during the game. I'll be watching it in Barbados with all of my family including my American dad, who has asked me to say 'come on USA!'

"USA don't have the same experience in the big tournaments, but they show good endeavour and that good ol' patriotism alone sometimes gives them the edge, so we'll see.

"But I want England to do well because I hear a lot of people criticising them and it would be nice for them to shut those people up!"

However, JP's biggest decision during the game will be what sauce he has on his hot dog!

He said: "With pre-season coming up, it's not long 'till I can't even um and aah over whether I should get my hot dog with relish or mustard! I'm looking forward to pre-season, it's hard but it's always fun."
