World Cup

Jack Wilshere unfazed by England's "tough" World Cup group

By , Staff Reporter
England midfielder Jack Wilshere reacts to the Three Lions' "tough" World Cup draw by tweeting: "So what?"

England midfielder Jack Wilshere has shown no signs of fear after discovering that the Three Lions have been dealt a "tough" World Cup draw.

Next summer in Brazil, Roy Hodgson's men will have to take on Group D opponents Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica in a bid to reach the next round.

Following the draw in Bahia, Wilshere wrote on Twitter: "Tough group... But so what? If we want to win it we will have to play the best teams anyway!!"

Wilshere's feeling appears to be shared by international teammate Wayne Rooney, who has claimed that he is relishing England's group phase.
