Bournemouth striker Moore fancies Wales upset against England

Kieffer Moore says he "can't wait" to knock England out of the World Cup in Qatar.

Wales open their campaign against the United States on Monday, 21 November (19:00 GMT).

Manager Robert Page's side then face Iran four days later, and complete the group stage against neighbours England on Tuesday, 19 November.

Former England C cap Moore says "it would be amazing" to put the country of his birth out of the tournament.

The 6ft 5ins Bournemouth forward, 30, added: "There will be no mixed loyalties. I can't remember much [about being capped by England C]. It was Estonia maybe and I think I came on towards the end of the game."

Torquay-born Moore qualifies via his Welsh grandfather from Llanrug in north Wales, and has already headed a Premier League goal this season past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

It came as the Cherries beat Everton 2-0 earlier this month, with Moore saying: "It is nice to get one up already."
