Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is delighted to see England seeded for the World Cup draw.

Under Fabio Capello, England won nine of their 10 qualifying matches, and made it to the top eight, a point not lost on Gerrard.

He said of the seeding: "It can only be to our advantage. But we've certainly improved since Fabio Capello took charge and I don't think we can be afraid of anyone. We'll respect anyone we come up against, but it's time other teams started fearing us. We're now a match for most."
