West Ham ace Rice: England achievements yet to kick in

West Ham United star Declan Rice admits he has yet to comprehend England's achievements this summer.

The Three Lions can reach their first major tournament final since 1966 if they can beat Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final on Wednesday.

"Since the Scotland game I speak to James Corden quite a bit, we FaceTime each other," he told the Official England Podcast. "He was with Mark Noble at the Germany game so I spoke to them after and they were buzzing.

"There are people who don't even like football or don't sit down and watch it and now it is a ritual to lock in and watch the games in this tournament.

"James Corden said to me, 'do you actually understand what you are doing?' and I don't really. It has not hit me yet and even when the tournament has finished it probably won't hit me until my career finishes.

"We don't want to get ahead of ourselves but we know what is ahead of us and hopefully we can achieve a massive dream."
