The Manchester United star remains unfazed by the recent stalemate in Warsaw and reiterated that the Three Lions can still qualify for the 2014 World Cup if they win their remaining games.
England’s lackluster display against Poland just about summed up their performances on the International front.
Equipped with quality stars in their ranks, Roy Hodgson’s troops had to wait 24 hours for their initially scheduled match that got delayed due to a water-logged pitch.

Speaking to reporters, the English forward claimed that the squad had not performed to the best of their talents but still managed to avoid a defeat against a strong http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 line-up.
"It was a difficult game, a difficult pitch. We weren’t at our best but we dug in and got a draw. We know we can play better but this is a difficult place to come so it is a decent point."
Continuing, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 should eventually be able to qualify for the tournament, especially considering that they have plenty of home games to go.
"We knew it was a tough group, but we’re still confident. We believe in ourselves and we believe we are the best team in the group, so we are confident of qualifying. Hopefully we will win the rest of our home games and have a great chance."
