England have silenced their critics withfaultless performances on their way to the World Cup quarter-finals.

England will face France in the quarter-finals after beating Senegal on Sunday.

England won three and lost one of their four matches in the Middle East.

Rice said that they don't get the credit they deserve for their performance.

The Netherlands and Argentina are considered masters of their craft by other teams.

It is picked off with us. There are always negative things. The last few games have been flawless. I think countries should be afraid of us because we're a good team.

England have scored 12 goals in four matches in the tournament, which is equal to the amount of goals they scored at the World Cup.

They have not conceded a goal in their past three games at the World Cup, their best run of games since 1982.

There was a lot of talk about us not scoring enough goals. Rice said that they have kept people quiet on that one.

There was a lot of scrutiny, but it has been good. We are going to push and build.

Rice said that England have nothing to fear from facing Paris St-Germain and Kylian Mbappe in the quarter-finals.

We would like to play these games. They only show up once. He said that it doesn't get bigger than that.

The world will be watching. We want to move forward. If we can't beat France, there's no point in celebrating.

Everyone will be very good when you get to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. It's going to happen.

No one will be afraid of anyone. We are also a great team with great players.
