England can win Euros says Man Utd's Rooney

Returning England striker Wayne Rooney believes the team is good enough to triumph at Euro2012.

The Manchester United ace will be back in action following suspension when the Three Lions take on co-hosts Ukraine in Donetsk tomorrow night and suggests that Roy Hodgson has a good enough group to go all the way.

"I think we're good enough to win it," Rooney told reporters on Sunday. "Obviously you need a bit of luck as well, but I believe we've got a good opportunity.

"We've got the squad, we're more organised than we ever have been and we're hard to beat now. If we keep doing that and keep working hard then there's no reason we can't go really far."

England needs just a point from their clash with Ukraine to ensure qualification to the quarter-finals from Group D after their 1-1 draw with France and 3-2 win over Sweden.
