'England not the most talented but have a great chance' - Shearer sees spirit inspiring World Cup bid

The former Three Lions captain believes Gareth Southgate's side are capable of going all the way in Russia if they continue to fight for one another

England are “not the most talented team at this World Cup”, says Alan Shearer, but the Three Lions have got “a great chance of winning it”.

The Three Lions arrived in Russia free of the pressure and expectation which has weighed heavy on past generations at major tournaments.

With Gareth Southgate giving his players freedom to express themselves, a string of positive performances have delivered a quarter-final berth.
