Chelsea defender Gary Cahill is surprised by the low expectations England fans have for the Euros.

The recent change in manager, with Roy Hodgson taking over from Fabio Capello, seems to have dampened expectations among the public.

But Cahill sees no reason why that should be the case.

"I don't see why it should," he said. "It is the same players who have come in. The manager who has come in is vastly experienced in football around the world.

"I only met the gaffer twice before meeting up with England and he came across well.

"I am looking forward to working with him and his staff. We have some fantastic players and a great squad.

"And we are going in with a vastly experienced manager."

Asked whether his own expectations were for England to go all the way and win the tournament, Cahill said: "I don't see why not, especially when you have the players here who have experienced winning things and experienced going through the stages to reach semi-finals and finals."
