LA Galaxy ace David Beckham says expectations for England at next year's World Cup were always going to be sky high.
"The expectation levels are going to be high because of eight wins out of eight and doing it in the fashion that we've done it," he told Sky Sports News.
"There's always going to be really high expectations but that's what our fans demand and that's what our country demands. Nothing changes.
"There will be a lot of people sitting up and taking notice of how we've qualified. We've still got those expectations of playing and doing well in the competition, but we're happy to be there now."
