Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has scoffed at claims England's players were scared during their 1-1 draw with the USA.
The claim came from Fulham attacker Clint Dempsey yesterday.
Rooney said: "They only had two or three shots from distance and they had only one good chance to score so I don't think there was any fear from us as we took the game to them."
England now face a must-win clash with Algeria on Friday and Rooney is confident that England will bounce back from Saturday's disappointment.
He said: "We started very well (on Saturday) and we deserved to win and overall we did enough to win the game, but unfortunately we didn't. But I am sure we will take three points on Friday."
