England's pre-World Cup training spot on says Man City's Milner

James Milner believes England's World Cup preparation is going perfectly to plan.

The Three Lions are getting ready for Brazil 2014 in Miami and even though the poor weather has forced the team indoors, Manchester City's Milner is confident it will have no ill-effect on their plans.

"That's the whole reason why we are here," Milner said. "We've done the preparation as best we can up to this point, using the layers and other methods.

"No stone has been left unturned so we're more than ready. Now we're here it's mimicking the conditions we are going to have out in Brazil so it's perfect preparation.

"From that first game I don't think we're going to be able to be any more prepared than we will be.

"Every squad is going to feel different, with different players and managers change over the years, but I think there is a great mix of younger players and five or six of us who have been to a World Cup who can help them out.

"Everybody is really focused and ready to go, there is a real professional feel around the squad and everyone knows exactly what is expected of them.

"Preparation has been second to none, we've covered every base and the lads are raring to go, and with two more games to go it's a perfect lead in in these conditions."
