Sven: We fear no one

[Scott]

From Sky Sports:

"I am more positive and confident than I have ever been in my time with the England team," he declared.

"We have the players, we have done our preparation and we have the best fans in the world behind us.

"My players will fear no-one this summer and that is the psychology that you must have to win at this level.

"If you look at the squad and see the names we have wearing The Three Lions, they are not just good players in England but players who are recognised and respected all over the world."

"We need to arrive in Germany with rhythm, confidence and a winning mentality to move forward, to go all the way," he explained.



Is he having a laugh??

I’m as optimistic and confident as the next person MR Sven, and yes going in to tournaments with your head in your hands, giving bad vibes isn’t the way to go, you’ve got to believe in yourself (I feel a song coming on) . .but to be honest, your team selection sucks ass, and you’re being fired after the cups over, so do you actually really care?

Still, it’s a reason to get that bit more pissed and watch more football than ever before.

Come on England.

its good that he is confident that we will win, but u cant forget that it has been 40 years since we won it, and Brazil wont go down easily

I don't fear any team as an England fan either, and that's the mentality the team should go into the tournament with even without Rooney, we have a very talented squad, obviously excluding Crouch! ;D ... our defence is very strong, as is the midfield once we sort out the anchorman business. And, if Owen is fit we'll have one of the best strikers in Europe up front so England are strong and it's absolutely right, we shouldn't fear anyone!
