Kyle wants to party on

- BY JOHN CROSS

KYLE WALKER admits reaching the World Cup semi-final would be bigger than winning the Premier League and “blows everything out of the water”. The Manchester City defender (above) won the title last season but says enjoying success with England at the World Cup would be even bigger. When asked how reaching the semi-final would rank, Walker said: “First and foremost it has been a fantastic year for me, personally, to achieve the things I have achieved, but this is the top thing that I want. “The Premier League is done now and I have ticked that off, but to do something for your nation blows everything out of the water. “Obviously you work all season with your club to get sat in this seat, but to represent your country there’s nothing better. “Seeing the reaction from the people at home and stuff like that. Shops are closing in Sheffield to go and watch the game. It’s crazy. “You half want to be there to join in with the atmosphere but I am glad I’m here and hopefully we can have a few more parties, eh?”
