Man Utd striker Rooney hails spirit inside England camp

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has hailed the spirit inside the England camp ahead of their Euros quarterfinal against Italy.

The striker claimed on Wednesday the game was "50-50", but appeared more bullish over England's chances on Thursday morning when he said they could "do a job" on Italy.

He told Talksport: "We're more organised than ever. The lads have all been fighting for each other, we want to do this together, so I think we've got a great chance. We feel good, we've prepared well and we're really looking forward to it.

"It's important that we believe in ourselves. We've got a great group of players and we're confident.

"It's not going to be an easy game, but we've got the players, we've got the belief and the togetherness to do a job on them. Once you get to this stage of the competition anything can happen."
