WE SHOULD NOT BE SCARED TO SAY IT... YES, WE CAN WIN THE WORLD CUP

DECLAN RICE insists England should not be afraid to say they can win the World Cup.

The Arsenal midfielder believes the Three Lions have enough quality on the pitch and a proven manager in Thomas Tuchel to help them get over the line in the United States next summer.

Rice has been part of a squad which has got to two major finals in the Euros and believes they have the hunger and experience to go one step further to win the biggest prize of all.

England beat Latvia on Tuesday night to become the first European team to qualify for the World Cup - and they are already among the favourites to lift the trophy.

And Rice says they should not be intimidated by expectation levels.
