Wayne Rooney: 'Teams are scared of England again'

England are a tough opposition for any team to play against, claims captain Wayne Rooney.

Captain Wayne Rooney has expressed his belief that England have become a tough team to play against since the World Cup last year.

Roy Hodgson's men are strolling through their Euro 2016 qualification group, and Rooney thinks that they are a much better team than they were in Brazil, where they crashed out after two games.

He told reporters: "You want teams to look at England and think, 'we know we have a tough game, it is going to physically hard against them, we are going to have to defend and we are going to have to be good on the ball to keep the ball'.

"That is what we want teams to feel when they come up against us. Certainly since the World Cup we have done that."

England are unbeaten since they were knocked out of the World Cup by Uruguay.
