England captain declares: We're a physical team... let's use it at World Cup
NFL-DAFT Harry Kane has told his England team-mates to sack any prospect of World Cup regrets and get physical tonight.
And boss Thomas Tuchel has made it clear to his players it's time to be brave and create "something special" as Croatia loom first in Group L.
