Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is confident they can overcome Italy in their Euro 2012 quarter-final on Sunday.
The Three Lions topped Group D to set up a clash with the Azzurri in the last eight, with Rooney scoring the goal to seal a 1-0 win over Ukraine in the last match.
Rooney told the Sun: “It’s important that we believe in ourselves. We’ve a great group of players and we’re confident.
“It’s not going to be an easy game but we’ve the players, we’ve the belief and we’ve the togetherness to do a job on them. Once you get to this stage of the competition, anything can happen.
“We’re more organised than ever. The lads have all been fighting for each other. We want to do this together, so I think we’ve a great chance.
“We feel good, we’ve prepared well and we’re looking forward to it.
“It was always going to be a difficult group, so to finish top gives us a lot of confidence. France are a great side, to play Ukraine out here was always going to be difficult and we hadn’t beaten Sweden that often.”
