Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata believes England are capable of winning the World Cup.
Mata, expected to be in the squad of defending champions Spain, believes Roy Hodgson's side have a shot at bringing back the most sought after trophy in world football.
"I think they can try to reach the semi-final, final, try to win the title, because they have 23 very good players going," said Mata. "They have a good manager, so why not?
"They have great young players and they have a talented squad for England to try to compete and to try to win it.
"For example Wayne Rooney, who is my team-mate now at Manchester United, he is a world-class player.
"I think there are a lot of good teams. Brazil, which is probably the favourite, and obviously Argentina, Holland, Germany, France, Italy, England - I think they can all try to win."
