Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has questioned whether he is singled out by international referees and wants FIFA to come clean.

The striker is looking for answers following comments from former referee Graham Poll where he revealed that he and his fellow officials were instructed to watch Crouch very closely during last year's World Cup.

Crouch is hoping to be in the England team in the Euro 2008 qualifiers next month and he wants to know if he is still being treated unfairly.

He told the BBC: "Certainly, in the Champions League and in international football, I feel like I've been penalised far too much, whereas in the Premier League I haven't been penalised for things.

"I've had to adapt my game in internationals and the Champions League.

"I feel the way I play is within the rules of the game. I'd like to find out from the governing body if I was targeted."
