Arsenal legend David Seaman has rubbished claims England's goalkeepers are the weakest link.

Seaman, who went to three World Cups with England, reacted angrily to claims that England's goalkeeping department is a weak link which could be exploited in South Africa, and backed Capello's men to progress to the final.

"People that say that England's goalkeepers are not up to scratch are being disrespectful," the 46-year-old said.

"The three keepers that are there are all close standard-wise and are all very good.

"I think England have got a great chance of winning the World Cup," he continued.

"They need luck, like every team does who wins the World Cup, but if they can get through the group stages like how they qualified for the tournament then I think they will have no trouble in getting to the final."
