Rooney has sat out the first two group games through suspension, but he is expected to return to the starting XI for the game against Ukraine, in which England need to claim a point to book their place in the quarter-finals.

A draw against France and a win over Sweden have put the Three Lions on course for a place in the knockout stage, and the returning Rooney insists there is no reason why Roy Hodgson’s men cannot go all the way in Poland and Ukraine (12/1 Outright Winner @ Ladbrokes).

He told reporters: “We're good enough to win it.

“I know obviously everyone doesn't want us to build up expectations but I firmly believe that we've got the players to do it.

“You need a bit of luck as well but we've got a good opportunity.

“We've always believed. A country like ours needs to be in there with a shout of winning major tournaments and I firmly believe that.

“We've got the squad, we're more organised than we have been as long as I've been in the squad and we are hard to beat.

“If we keep doing that and keep working there's no reason we can't go really far and be in with a shout of winning it.”

England know that they are likely to face either Spain or Italy in the round of eight, but Rooney is not concerned about the prospect of facing either of the sides, even if one is the reigning World and European Champions.

Rooney added: “You have to play the best teams if you want to win tournaments - and how much of a boost would it be for us if we did play them and beat them?

“How much confidence would that give us?

“You have to play those teams to win tournaments whether it's quarter-finals, semis or the final. We just have to cope with that.”
