New Aston Villa signing Joe Cole is excited about the quality of the current England squad.
Cole believes England have a "great chance" of winning the World Cup in Brazil.
The 32-year-old, who featured in England's previous three World Cup finals squads, said: "It's going to be exciting and I think we have got a great chance of doing it.
"I agree with what Wayne Rooney has said - it's the best squad England have had in years.
"The reason for the lower expectation is that these young players in the squad are at the start of their careers.
"They're not pivotal players in the big squads in the country - but they will be.
"They've got a great chance and it's perhaps their best chance as well because in four years' time they'll all be established and there'll be a massive load of expectation on them.
"For me, looking from the outside, all the stars seem to be aligning. I think they'll do well."
