Butland proud of focused Team GB

Great Britain goalkeeper Jack Butland has declared that he is proud of the improvements made by the team.

Butland believes that Team GB's attitude and application have led to positive results after just a short time together.

He told The Sun: "We have come under the radar but we feel we have the players to do really well. Hopefully people realise that we are here to do the business, we are not a Mickey Mouse team.

"It is understandable that the focus has not been on us. We have not played as a Great Britain team for some considerable time but we are playing well and building momentum nicely."

Butland will start as Great Britain begin the knockout stages of the men's Olympic football tournament with a quarter-final against South Korea in Cardiff on Saturday.
