Man City keeper Hart: England in high spirits

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart says England's squad is in good spirits after touching down in Brazil.

The real work starts after England arrived at their World Cup base in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, with their Group D opener against Italy now just days away.

"We feel good," goalkeeper Hart said, having kept a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with Honduras. "We feel like we're doing the right things.

"It's great having Stevie [Gerrard] and Jordan [Henderson] and the various players screening us which is good, but I thought we looked dangerous going forward as well, which is a big positive.

"We feel like we've had a great three weeks together. We really feel like a team - a good strong English team going into a tournament with every chance to express ourselves and do well."
