Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe admits the World Cup group draw for England couldn't have gone better.

England will have Algeria, Slovenia and the USA to overcome in South Africa.

Defoe said: "It couldn't have gone better! My heart was pounding when the names came out the pot but, as an England player and fan, I'd take that.

"As players, you're focused on your club. But when the draw's been made and you know who you've got, it feels like it's really happening!

"To be honest, I think the other teams will be more worried about us. When you look at our set-up, with the manager, the squad, and players that can make an impact, you have to fear England.

"Obviously you don't want to be too confident - but we're going out there to win it. Mr Capello says we can beat anyone and the players believe that."
