Wayne Rooney is confident England will win the World Cup in Germany this summer.
The 20-year-old Manchester United striker believes the recent 3-2 friendly win over Argentina proves Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad has what it takes to lift the trophy.
Rooney told The Sun: "Of course we are going to win the World Cup. We are all really excited by Germany and everyone in the team knows we are good enough to do the business.
And he revealed Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard agrees with him.
He added: "I have spoken to Stevie Gerrard about this and we both reckon we have the players to do it. The main thing is we go out there and give our best. But I will do everything I can to help us win the World Cup."
Michael Owen scored two dramatic late goals to earn England victory against Argentina in November. Rooney feels that this win has given them the confidence they needed to be successful in Germany during the summer.
He said: "We were able to run at their defenders and commit them to making tackles in areas they didn't want to. We really piled the pressure on to them and once we did that, I don't think they could live with us."
