So says Serbia manager Dragan Stojkovic, who insists his players will not be intimidated by the Three Lions' big names and claims they have just as much right to win as their opponents.

Stojkovic said: "Why wouldn't they win? Is it forbidden? As far as I know, it's not.

"They have the same goal, they're coming to win. It's going to be a fight, a tough match. Anything can happen in 90 minutes.

"We'll prepare for the game, we'll see if it's enough. I'm not afraid, I don't care who the opponents are. We have our trump cards, we'll give it our all.
