Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole is hoping that he can earn his 100th England cap at Euro 2012.

Ashley Cole has revealed that he is keen to earn his 100th England cap at Euro 2012.

For the Chelsea defender to reach that milestone, England must reach next Sunday's final in Kiev.

Standing in England's way is Italy in tomorrow's quarter-final, before the winners of that tie take on Germany on Thursday night.

While insisting that he is not getting carried away, the full-back believes that the Three Lions have every chance of going all the way this summer.

"There is unfinished business," Cole told BBC Sport. "I have been lucky enough to play 97 times for England and hopefully I will get 100 in the final."

"I have never had the joy of winning for my country and I am not getting too far ahead of myself or the team but so far it is going well."

Cole recently became England's most-capped player at major tournament.
