Jack Butland ready for South Korea

Butland ready for Korea

Birmingham City goalkeeper Jack Butland has admitted that Team GB will have to beat Brazil if they are to secure Olympic glory this summer.

The 19-year-old, who has yet to represent Birmingham at first-team level, has also insisted that he 'loves big games' ahead of their quarter-final clash with South Korea.

"It doesn't matter whether it is the final or semi, we are going to have to play Brazil if we want to win the competition because I don't expect them to get knocked out. I thrive on pressure. I love big games. All I have wanted to do since I started was play for England and win tournaments," he told the Press Association.

Team GB are unbeaten in the Games thus far.
