England should be dreaming of World Cup win - Rooney

The 32-year-old sees the potential and talent in the Three Lions squad before they take on Colombia in their second round tie

Former England captain Wayne Rooney believes the country is right to start "dreaming" of winning the World Cup this year.

Confidence has grown in the Three Lions camp after they started the competition with wins over Tunisia and Panama, before losing out on first place in their group to Belgium.

Gareth Southgate's team will face Colombia in the last 16 on Tuesday, and players like Dele Alli and Danny Welbeck believe they pose a strong threat to all contenders in Russia.
